Highlights

  • SLB faces sustained selling, trading below short- and medium-term moving averages while holding above its long-term trend line.
  • Negative momentum dominates as technical indicators collectively point to weak sentiment and persistent bearish pressure.
  • SLB is expected to consolidate between $44.00 and $47.50, with a downside bias unless $48.98 resistance is reclaimed.

Bearish momentum intensifies with technical barriers and weak signals

Technical analysis shows SLB trading below both the MA-20 ($49.97) and MA-50 ($47.90), but solidly above the MA-200 ($38.43), with the Ichimoku Kijun level at $48.98 as immediate resistance. Daily chart momentum signals weak sentiment, with MACD and ADX both indicating a lack of bullish conviction, while RSI, CCI, and BBP suggest bearish or oversold conditions dominated by sellers. The Awesome Oscillator also confirms this negative trend. Performance for the day reflected a gap down at the open, high volatility, and persistent selling pressure with the price holding near today's low.

Further downside risk as bearish outlook dominates consolidation range

For the coming week, SLB is expected to consolidate in a typical volatility band from $44.00 to $47.50. The probability of a price increase is low (less than 20%). Downside risk dominates, and further bearish movement is likely if $44.00 fails to hold. A bullish scenario would only unfold if prices reclaim $48.98.

Anton Kharitonov, expert at Traders Union, sees Schlumberger NV under persistent technical pressure, trading below key short-term moving averages. The long-term bullish structure stays intact, but daily indicators and market sentiment remain negative. Kharitonov remains cautious, expecting further downside unless $44.00 holds as support. "My approach is defensive here — I wait for a clear turn or a recovery above $48.98 before considering any upside."

Previously it was reported that Schlumberger NV is trading below both its 20-day and 50-day moving averages, indicating sustained near-term selling pressure, though the price remains well above the 200-day average, highlighting longer-term structural support. Key technical indicators are mixed, with the daily MACD showing bullish momentum while ADX and various oscillators point to pronounced oversold conditions, suggesting immediate momentum remains bearish with $49.90 as resistance and the 50-day average as support.
