APA trade ideas

APA APA has been struggling financially for a while and has been trading in this downward channel just reaching the top border. Consistent rejections have been apparent especially as it approaches the 0.618 golden zone on our Fibonacci retracement. Macro outlook there is a strong consensus that oil prices are going to see a decline continue for the rest of the year. The sheer supply of oil is already outstripping demand leading to storage of oil globally which is not only costly but has increased costs for companies. S/D analysts at goldman predict 4x in supply over the forthcoming year leading to lower oil prices. APA will most likely struggle under these conditions, therefore im looking to sell

APA Nuzzles Lows as Headwinds Afflict EnergyAPA is struggling, even as the broader market powers to new highs. The first pattern on today’s chart is the 2023 low of $30.67. The oil and gas driller has spent much of this year near and below that old level. It’s also made incrementally lower lows. That may suggest support is breaking. Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA in December. The 100-day SMA followed in January. Now the 50-day SMA has crossed back under the 100-day SMA. Those events may confirm a bearish trend is forming over the longer term. Third, this chart includes our 2 MA Ratio custom script in the lower study. It shows the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has spent almost two months below the 21-day EMA. That may suggest the shorter-term trend has also gotten more bearish. Finally, the bigger picture may be less favorable as demand weakens and inventories increase – especially for gasoline.

#APA# Energy dynamics will boost share prices.APA Corp. engages in oil and natural gas exploration through its subsidiary companies. The company operates in the United States, Egypt, and the United Kingdom, with offshore exploration activities in Suriname. Established in 1954, APA Corp. is headquartered in Houston, Texas. The primary rationale for recommending this stock lies in the current tense geopolitical situation, which has led to an increase in energy demand. As we approach the year-end, the energy sector is emerging as a clear choice for investors. Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East have directly contributed to a resurgence in oil prices. Additionally, gloomy macroeconomic prospects have intensified concerns about global demand. Furthermore, the United States has tightened sanctions on Russian crude oil exports (link), exacerbating the already strained market supply concerns. Global inventories are expected to decline in the fourth quarter, which is likely to drive energy prices even higher, benefiting a range of related companies. From a financial perspective, APA Corp.'s Q2 2023 financial statements show an improvement in net income compared to Q1. The company's previous quarter's earnings were $0.85 per share, exceeding the estimated $0.75 per share, representing a 13.53% surprise. Although the estimated figure for Q3 is $1.74 billion USD, the company's revenue for the same period is $1.96 billion USD. The next quarter's estimated earnings are $1.19 per share, with anticipated revenue reaching $2.01 billion USD, indicating a stable financial performance. This stability aligns with the core investment philosophy of maintaining a steady course towards the end of the year, leveraging the trends resulting from the geopolitical landscape, much like the benefits accrued during the previous AI boom. Furthermore, APA Corp. has been recognized by FORTUNE magazine as one of the World’s Most Admired Companies for a fifth time, ranking fifth among international energy exploration companies, a testament to its operational excellence and reputation in the industry. From a technical standpoint, APA Corp. is currently positioned at the breakout point of a descending wedge. On the daily chart, the RSI indicator has hit a bottom and is showing clear signs of a reversal pattern. In the MACD indicator, the $39 level marks a golden cross price point, while the Alligator indicator is beginning to contract upwards, signifying that the previous downtrend is nearing its end. The Fibonacci retracement at the 38.2% level offers significant support, and the stock is currently at the short-term resistance of 78.6%. The optimal entry point is around $40, which is also the key support level at 61.80%. The short-term first target is $55.53, with the second target at $85.40, and the third target in the vicinity of $95.12. Trading Recommendations: Entry Price: $34 to $44 T1: $55.53 T2: $85.40 T3: $95.12 Stop Loss: $30.70

Hedged Options Strategy on APAOil is one of the few sectors that analysts are still bullish on in 2023. Long arguments include catalysts such as China's re-opening, airlines recovering, and lowered supply leading to higher oil prices. APA Corporation, formerly known as Apache, operates in the US, Egypt and the UK and is one of the largest American explorers for oil and gas properties. It owns entire lines of production from gathering to transport with four pipelines running from the Permian to the Gulf Coast, as well as 2.3 billion barrels of oil reserves. Positive earnings reports exceeded expectations, and with a recent drop in stock price, this could be a good time to enter. Dividend stocks are popular in bearish times, and APA pays a consistent one, though not the highest at ~2.3%. Elliot Wave traders will also note where APA is going in the pattern, though yesterday's doom-and-gloom market might make investors think twice about jumping in. For downside protection, this hedged options strategy could make up to 9% (17% annualized) in ~7 months while cushioning against a fall of up to 31% (to below $29.85) as of 7/21/23. Buy 1 $42.50 call Sell 1 $45 call Sell 1 $30 put 7/21/23 Capital Required: $2985
