HAL trade ideas
HAL Daily chart viewHalliburton ($46.51) looks like maybe it is reversing trend for the summer; the russia-saudi deal helped I believe (which may have led to the spike in volume); the stock is bumping up on support and broke through resistance at 46.38... I think it is safe to look for a move above $50-$53 if the stock breaks its next resistance at 47.79; I think I am taking the bet
HAL odds not looking good for tomorrowI would of thought increased market share was a big positive for XLE Energy Sector but they sure are not pricing it in at all. I sure would not want to bet against the energy trend into earnings in the morning. I actually think HAL should do better than last quarter. I can't wait to see the results. My gut says XLE stocks catch a bid tomorrow.
Can Halliburton clear resistance at 47.50?Technically Speaking
HAL found resistance right where you would expect, the pivot at 47.50 and the 200 WMA. A clear move above that level and there is plenty of air until the 2015 high above 72.50. A rejection could see a move back toward the 2016 low prints.
Of course, the outcome will depend on the companies earnings vs the current expectations. Earnings come out on 10/19 as noted on the chart, so proceed with caution.
Fundamentals

As always, trade your plan. Nobody knows what the future holds or how a companies stock price will react to any given set of earnings or events. All we can do as traders is pick our spots, limit risk, and take the trades we feel like we understand and have an edge. That's it.

Nail In Coffin Of Halliburton Company HALHalliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) was primed for a monster breakout on the stock chart today. The stock chart had a perfect bull flag setup, it just needed catalyst. Then it happened. Overnight, non-OPEC oil producing nations announced a cut in production. Oil surged dramatically going into today's action. This seemed like a perfect catalyst for a massive breakout. Halliburton Company jumped at the open....
Within 10 minutes, the stock had topped. Then Halliburton Company (NYSE:HAL) slowly sold off the rest of the day. This is insanely brearish not only for the constant institutional selling all day long, but because it is a failed breakout and the resulting candle on the daily stock chart is a topping tail. Topping tails are reversal signals, extremely bearish.
Expect a pull back on Halliburton Company to a target price of $48.00 in the next month.
