Digital service expansion diversifies growth amid sustained selling pressure

SLB has launched its Digital Marketplace, providing a curated platform for energy companies to access and deploy specialized artificial intelligence agents, domain models, and digital applications within existing digital frameworks. This expansion diversifies SLB's digital service offerings and broadens its role in the growing digitalization of the energy sector. The company also recorded revenue of $8.72 billion and a net profit of $752 million in its latest quarterly report, supporting a fundamentally stable backdrop as it pursues long-term digital growth objectives, though price action has remained under broader selling pressure.

Bearish momentum intensifies as technicals breach short-term support

SLB is trading below the hourly SMA-20 ($52.28) and SMA-50 ($54.35), but remains above the long-term SMA-200 ($44.82). The Ichimoku Kijun sits at $52.47, marking immediate overhead resistance. Momentum indicators are negative, with both MACD and ADX confirming bearish momentum. The RSI is deeply oversold at 17.23, and while Stoch RSI shows an attempt to reverse from oversold levels, both CCI and Bull/Bear Power (BBP) signal continued seller dominance. The Awesome Oscillator (AO) aligns with the prevailing downtrend.

Downside risk elevated as narrow band caps rebound potential

In the short term, SLB is expected to consolidate between $45.73 and $51.67, which reflects a typical volatility band relative to current levels. The statistical probability for an upward move is limited at 28%, with a downward move more likely at 72%. If price breaks above the $52.47 resistance (Kijun), an upside move may develop, while a drop below the $45.73 support would increase downside risk.

Anton Kharitonov, analyst at Traders Union, sees SLB’s digital expansion and steady earnings overshadowed by pronounced technical weakness and strong bearish momentum. He notes persistent selling pressure, with key resistance at $52.47 and the probability of further downside as the stock consolidates. Until SLB reclaims that level, the outlook remains defensive. "Base case remains further consolidation or downside, unless we see a clear reversal above $52.47."

Earlier, analysts noted that Schlumberger was exhibiting persistent bearish momentum with sellers maintaining control. The ongoing technical weakness, despite fundamental stability and digital initiatives, reinforces the prevailing negative scenario, making the $45.73 support level especially critical for monitoring short-term downside risk.
