📊 Technical Overview
OXY has been in a prolonged downtrend, but recent price action is showing a potential structural reversal:
LL to HL / HH shift suggests the downtrend may be bottoming out.
Currently forming a Higher Low (HL) after printing two Higher Highs (HH) – a classic bullish market structure.
Key support held firm around the $34.80–35.00 zone, which aligns with a historically strong demand area.
Target range identified between $55.35–55.55, where previous consolidation occurred.
A sustained move above $45 could confirm a breakout from the current consolidation and open up room to the upside.
💡 Macro Tailwinds
Several economic and geopolitical factors may support a bullish case for
OXY:
🔺 Oil Price Stability
WTI crude has been resilient above $70–75, with supply constraints and geopolitical tensions (e.g., Middle East & Russia sanctions) keeping a floor under oil prices.
If oil trends higher (seasonal summer demand + hurricane season), OXY’s revenue outlook improves.
🌍 Global Energy Demand
Global demand for fossil fuels remains elevated, particularly in emerging markets.
While ESG pressures remain, oil & gas continues to be critical in the transition phase.
💰 Warren Buffett Factor
Berkshire Hathaway continues to increase its stake in Occidental, signaling long-term conviction.
Buffett now owns over 28% of OXY, and the market often treats this as a strong vote of confidence.
🏦 Interest Rates & Fed Outlook
As inflation eases, markets are pricing in potential rate cuts in late 2025, which could support capital-intensive sectors like energy.
Lower rates also improve discounted cash flow models, increasing fair value estimates.
🧠 Sentiment & Valuation
OXY remains undervalued vs peers on a forward P/E and EV/EBITDA basis.
With strong free cash flow, OXY is aggressively paying down debt and buying back shares — supportive of long-term price appreciation.
RSI and MACD are neutral – plenty of room for momentum to build.
🎯 Trade Plan
Entry Zone: $42.50–43.50 (Current consolidation area)
Stop Loss: Below $38 (invalidates HL structure)
Target 1: $50
Target 2: $55.50
Target 3 (Stretch): $60+ if oil prices surge
⚠️ Risks
A break below $38 would invalidate the bullish structure.
Oil price weakness due to recession fears or unexpected OPEC policy shifts.
Broader market volatility (Fed, inflation, geopolitical shocks).
🔍 Bottom Line
OXY is showing early signs of a bullish reversal on the chart — supported by strong fundamentals, insider confidence (Buffett), and resilient oil prices. If this HL holds, the setup offers a solid risk-reward opportunity toward previous resistance levels.
