HALC trade ideas
HAL to $30My trading plan is very simple.
I buy or sell when price tags the top or bottom of parallel channels.
I confirm when price hits Fibonacci levels.
So...
Here's why I'm picking this symbol to do the thing.
Price at bottom of channels (period 100 52 & 26)
Stochastic Momentum Index (SMI) at oversold overbought level
VBSM is negative and under at bottom of Bollinger Band
Entry at $26
Target is $30 or channel top
Stop loss is $25.50
HAL: W Bottom, Consolidation before breakout ?1. W Bottom
2. Create a solid consolidation base at high ground, before break out.
3. Fundamentally, Trump policy may not benefit oil prices, but should benefit oil service companies.
Halliburton May Face ResistanceHalliburton has rallied since late October, but some traders may think it’s near a top.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the June low of $32.60. The oil servicer consolidated below that level in August before accelerating downward. It’s now stalling around the same area, which may suggest that resistance is still in effect.
Second, the series of higher lows over the past month could be viewed as a bearish flag.
Third, stochastics are sliding from an overbought condition.
Next, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is below the 100-day SMA. Both are under the 200-day SMA. That’s potentially consistent with a longer-term downtrend.

Short play on $HAL on monthlyMonthly chart for $HAL. Price is now below all monthly EMA and VWAP. MY bet is that we visit $23 on the down trend by May 25'. RSI has room to go down. Puts are cheap as well.
Halliburton’s Potential DowntrendHalliburton tried to rally in late September and early October. However, some traders may see evidence of a downtrend.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the bearish-flag breakdown early last month. The oil-field service provider hit a 23-month low soon after, contrasting with the upward path of the broader market. That’s a potential sign of negative sentiment.
Second is the $31.38 level where HAL closed immediately before breaking to the downside. Prices tested and failed at that location last week. Has new resistance been confirmed?
Third, the stock has slipped back below its 21-day exponential and 50-day simple moving averages. That may indicate weakness in the short and intermediate terms.
Finally, stochastics are sliding from an overbought condition.

long $HAL on double bottom pattern, bullish sentiment for crudeI am going long NSE:HAL via options for the following reasons:
NYMEX:CL1! closed the week before last at the second lowest level of the year. The following week, i.e. last week, oil emphatically rejected these lows with a 10% gain, showing the highest weekly trading volume of the year. This move continued today with another 3.7% gain.
I believe that drilling activity is close to a bottom. Last week Baker Hughes reported 479 oil rigs in operation in North America. That's the second lowest weekly number since the beginning of 2022. I don't see Western countries ending their embargo of Russian oil any time soon, there's the potential for Israel to strike Iran's oil export infrastructure, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve continues to hover near 16-year lows, and there's always another hurricane brewing in the Gulf of Mexico. With all that going on, I believe that US producers will be smart to put a few well completions into their back pockets, just in case.
NSE:HAL is the cheapest of the big three oil services companies on a fwd EV/EBITDA basis. Management expects 2024 FCF to grow at least 10% from 2023 (analysts penciled in 20% growth), and they expect drilling activity to increase in 2025 from 2024H2 levels.
NSE:HAL currently presents a double bottom pattern on the daily chart. Since 2021 these patterns have had a very high probability to hit their target for $HAL.
I think this trade is attractive on multiple time horizons. Mine is relatively short (I expect to be out before the Nov 7 earnings release). This is no recommendation, of course. Please do your own research.
Halliburton’s Potential Bearish FlagEnergy stocks continue to lag as the market anticipates greater supply and weaker demand from China. The backdrop may be creating downside risk in Halliburton, a key provider of oilfield services.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the January low just below $33. Prices bounced there in June and July. They slid below in August, which may be viewed as a breakdown.
A small rising channel has developed since then. Some traders may view that as a bearish flag. (Notice a similar formation in May, followed by a drop.)
Third, the gap lower on July 19 after revenue missed could reflect weakening fundamentals.
Next, our 2 MA Ratio custom script in the lower study shows the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) staying below the 21-day EMA. That may reflect a bearish short-term trend.
The longer-term trajectory could additionally be negative: HAL made a lower quarterly high in April versus October. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) also had a “death cross” below the 200-day SMA in June.

=============================================
Stocks pairs trading: HAL vs RHILet's analyze the trade potential of Halliburton Company (HAL) and Robert Half International Inc. (RHI) by examining key financial metrics and market performance to determine reasons for potentially going long on HAL and short on RHI.
Forward P/E Ratio: HAL's forward P/E of 9.50 is lower than RHI’s forward P/E of 17.94, suggesting that HAL is priced more attractively relative to future earnings expectations. This lower valuation might make HAL a more appealing investment.
Year-to-Date Performance: HAL has seen a modest gain of 3.29% year-to-date, while RHI has faced a significant decline of 19.03%. HAL's positive performance amidst broader market conditions indicates a resilient position, whereas RHI's sharp decline suggests ongoing challenges.
Profit Margin Comparison: HAL operates with a profit margin of 11.20%, while RHI’s profit margin is slightly lower at 5.74%. This suggests HAL is more efficient in converting sales into net income, an attractive trait for long-term investments.
Market Performance Trends: HAL has experienced a performance dip in the past month but shows a strong quarterly performance with an 8.14% gain. On the other hand, RHI’s performance trends are negative across multiple periods, with a particularly notable 13.14% drop over the past quarter, indicating a potential for further decline.
Analyst Recommendations: HAL has a more favorable recommendation score of 1.36 compared to RHI’s 3.71, indicating stronger analyst confidence in HAL’s market position and future performance.
Decision:
Long on 2 HAL: This position is supported by HAL’s lower forward valuation, impressive near-term earnings growth forecast, and stronger profit margins, which all suggest a potential for market revaluation upward.
Short on 1 RHI: Given its higher valuation, weaker growth prospects in EPS, and significant reduction in sales, coupled with relatively poor market performance indicators, shorting RHI could be advantageous if these trends continue.
Halliburton - HAL Dragon Long History rhyming 3 times in a row?
Perfect dragon with bullish divergence, we went long last week as updated in the community.
Perfect trade in terms of risk management, then as always you never know if it will play out.
Halliburton Makes a Higher LowHalliburton has been sliding since mid-October, but there could be signs that the energy-services giant has bottomed.
The first pattern on today’s chart is last week’s bounce around $34, about $1 above the mid-January trough. Such a higher low could indicate that a downtrend is ending.
Second, combined with the price action in the first half of December, a rounded bottom may have formed.
Next, consider how the weekly close on Friday, January 26, surpassed the weekly peaks of late December. Such a higher high could also represent the end of a downtrend.
Fourth, the January low around $33 closely matched a support and breakout area from the end of 2023’s second quarter and the start of its third quarter.
Finally, HAL jumped above its 50-day simple moving average (SMA) three weeks ago. It dipped back below but is now challenging that line again. Is intermediate-term direction changing?

CSP HALOil is looking strong, and oil stocks are going to catch up very quickly. I'm selling CSP as shown, you can also buy the stock. It has strong support underneath and it looks like the price is going to test the upper vertex again.
HAL HAL showing an upward trend. The blue lines shows an ascending triangle with strong opportunity to reach around $43 in next weeks. I start this analysis with current price at $35.34, with 21.7% potential gain.
Also, you can see a strong resistance at that level. But if you fell more adventurous, the red lines above $43 range would be some long shot potential targets for HAL.
Good Luck!

Basic trend analysis of HALHAL forming a beautiful upward trend since last 3 years. If we follow this pattern, it should reach around $43 in next 1~2 months. Also, SMA 7 just crossed SMA 22. Another price rise will confirm this.
Be cautious at around $43, as there is a strong resistance at that level.

EOY Review $HAL messy....inside yearNSE:HAL
2 UP on the quarter but not strong enough to close above Q3 high
inside year = no clear direction
messy 3M chart = neutral and a need to wait for more clues
oil & energy (related) names not the strongest this year, which could mean (more) potential upwards, but need to see price confirm that suggestion first
HAL BullI am bullish on oil and oil-related stocks nowadays. I estimate there will be short-term bullish move on HAL
HAL: aiming for support?A price action below 37.00 supports a bearish trend direction.
Increase short exposure for a break below 37.00 as well.
The target price is set at 35.00 (major support).
The stop-loss price is set at 40.00.
Breaking the confluence of the 200-day and 200-month simple moving average might trigger a cascade effect in the price.
Remains a risky trade.
