Energy sector accelerates, stock stays boxed in
BP: the sector runs, the price stays trapped between support and resistance
Our view last week
After last week's 7.9% drop, BP stock rebounds 2.2% and rides a sharply accelerating energy sector (up 7.67% on the week, 9.58% on the month). The buy signal, now in its 4th week, holds: the weekly structure stays bullish, with price above all structural moving averages. Technical analysis, though, shows price boxed between immediate resistance and support, waiting to pick a direction.
This week's summary
BP's buy signal reaches its 5th week, and the weekly structure stays bullish, above all structural moving averages. The push comes from the energy sector, sharply accelerating: up 2.79% on the week, 7.50% on the month. But the picture isn't one-sided: price is boxed between a nearby support and resistance, and the latest daily bar shows a clean bearish reversal candle. We see the underlying trend as still solid, but this week's transition calls for attention.
