Highlights

Occidental Petroleum's Q4 2025 adjusted EPS of $0.31 fell short of expectations, despite ongoing capital efficiency efforts.
The company expanded its share buyback program and accelerated debt reduction after divesting OxyChem assets, supporting long-term strategy.
OXY shows strong bullish momentum with buyers dominating price action; expected to trade between $56.50 and $60.00 next week barring a break below support.

Buybacks and debt reduction shape sentiment after earnings miss

Occidental Petroleum reported adjusted fourth quarter 2025 earnings per share of $0.31, reflecting ongoing efforts to improve capital efficiency, though this result was below expectations. The company expanded its share buyback program and underscored its strategy to reduce debt, enabled by the successful divestment of assets from its OxyChem business unit. These developments are central to current market sentiment for Occidental Petroleum.

Momentum and support levels drive sustained rally amid overbought signals

At $58.84, OXY is trading well above the SMA-20 ($51.38), SMA-50 ($46.73), and SMA-200 ($44.28), which signals firmly bullish momentum across short, medium, and long-term timeframes. The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 is at $49.83, making this level immediate support relative to the current price. Momentum indicators on D1 show strong bullish conviction: MACD is positive and rising, and ADX (31.09) confirms a robust trend. The RSI at 68.35 and Stoch RSI (54.55), with CCI near overbought, hint at stretched conditions but not at an extreme level yet. BBP is elevated (2.65, "Overbought"), showing buyers dominate intraday. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral, lending no push to the prevailing move. After opening with a gap up from the previous close ($56.68 vs $55.58), the price moved strongly higher, now near today’s high in a wide range with high volatility. Intraday tone has been strong with buyers firmly in control and little sign of resistance intraday; momentum and price action are aligned in the bullish direction, though mild caution is warranted given some overbought signs.

Upside favored as volatility bands and momentum limit downside risk

Looking ahead to the next week, OXY’s typical volatility band relative to current levels is $56.50 to $60.00, since the model’s weekly range would otherwise fall below the current price and indicators remain bullish. The probability of a further price increase is very high (more than 80%), while the likelihood of a decline is very low. Baseline scenario: OXY consolidates in a sideways corridor above immediate support. Bullish scenario: a break above $60.00 could trigger a further rally if momentum persists, while a move below $56.50 would open the way for interim downside but remains unlikely given strong upward signals.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees OXY’s strong price action above all major moving averages as confirmation of bullish momentum. He notes that management’s focus on capital efficiency, debt reduction, and the expanded share buyback serve as key drivers for positive sentiment. Technical and macro factors both align in the stock’s favor, with little immediate resistance visible. Short-term indicators suggest OXY will remain strong, despite signs of mild overbought conditions. "I expect OXY to consolidate near the highs, and if momentum holds, a breakout above $60.00 looks increasingly likely."

OXY is exhibiting strong bullish momentum, currently trading significantly above its short, medium, and long-term moving averages, with technical indicators such as MACD, ADX, and multiple oscillators signaling continued upward strength despite overbought conditions. Immediate support is established near $49.83, while resistance is forming around the $58.00 level, reflecting high volatility and the potential for new highs if buying pressure persists.
