SLB Schlumberger Limited Options Ahead of EarningsAnalyzing the options chain and the chart patterns of SLB Schlumberger Limited prior to the earnings report this week,
I would consider purchasing the 61usd strike price Calls with
an expiration date of 2023-11-3,
for a premium of approximately $1.69.
If these options prove to be profitable prior to the earnings release, I would sell at least half of them.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
SCL trade ideas
Rising WedgeRising Wedges are Bearish but are not valid until the bottom line is clearly broken.
A level of support will usually catch price if it/when breaks down.
Both lines slope up and narrow at the apex.
Sometimes price will break up from a Rising Wedge, but eventually price will break the bottom line. It can be a long time in some cases.
A Rising wedge represents a supply overload within the wedge.

Is Schlumberger Done Slumbering?Schlumberger surged early last month. Now, after a period of consolidation, it may be ready to continue upward.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the high-volume rally July 7-11. (This was part of a broad move across the energy sector as crude oil came off its lows.) SLB broke its early-March peak around $56, followed by successful retests under that level on July 21 and August 23. Old resistance could have morphed into new support.
Second, notice how the more recent probe resulted in a bullish outside day. That may suggest the presence of lurking buyers.
Third, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) recently had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA. The shorter-term 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) is also above the 21-day EMA.
Finally, the oil-service stock ended last week bouncing slightly above $56. It then proceeded to challenge a short-term falling trendline that’s taken shape since July 11. Is a breakout starting?

SLB is breaking out of a head and shoulders patternIn this chart I point to main chart pattern in the SLB prices at this moment, that is the head and shoulders. Not only that, but the prices are doing a breakout of this pattern, that I indicate step-by-step at the purple text in the chart.
I am also trying to take some advantage of this movement, and so I bought a very short term put option to try catch some profit from an eventual falling in prices. The put information is in the gray text in the chart.
$SLB : outperforming stock in strong sectorSLB consolidating inside an ascending triangle with possible breakout to ATH (all time high) levels above $56
Shrinking Volumes with price in consolidation showing base formation for breakout to higher levels
SLB is an outperforming stock in a strong sector $SPN
Variety/Targets BelowA variety of patterns.
Possible Bull Flag, possible cup and a large Rising Wedge that encompasses the trend on the recent chart.
The rising wedge (bearish if broken) is not valid as the bottom trendline has not been broken and has acted as a support line.
Price can break up from a wedge even if it is usually a short lived move.
The flag has broken the top trendline but did not do so with a "bang".
Targets if the wedge loses this battle are 57.12, 61.7. Targets 2 are 64.9 and 69.
Most of oil is in a rising wedge or is sitting over a wedge so rising wedges are common in this industry right now.
Yet they continue to rise and the bottom trendlines remain in tact for most.
There will be a reckoning at some point though. )o:
