Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY, $60.55) has seen an 84% gain in overall price performance from March 2020.

Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY) has been making waves in the energy industry since it was founded in 1920. The business is a major oil and gas producer with a broad portfolio of assets spread over North America, South America, the Middle East, and Africa. Occidental Petroleum is one of the biggest oil corporations in the world, with a market worth of about $50 billion.

Despite the challenges faced by the energy industry over the past year, Occidental Petroleum has managed to weather the storm. In March 2020, the stock hit a low of $12.34 per share due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting drop in oil prices. However, since then, the stock has made an impressive recovery. As of March 10, 2023, the stock is trading at $60.55 per share, representing an 84% gain in overall price performance from March 2020.

One of the technical indicators that traders use to gauge the momentum of a stock is the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). The MACD is a popular technical indicator that compares two moving averages of a stock's price to generate trading signals. A positive MACD crossover occurs when the shorter-term moving average crosses above the longer-term moving average, indicating a bullish trend.

On March 06, 2023, the MACD for Occidental Petroleum turned positive, which is a bullish signal for the stock. Looking at past instances where OXY's MACD turned positive, the stock continued to rise in 29 of 38 cases over the following month. This means that the odds of a continued upward trend for Occidental Petroleum are 76%.

It's important to note that technical indicators like the MACD should not be used in isolation to make trading decisions. They should be used in conjunction with other fundamental and technical analysis tools to develop a comprehensive trading strategy.

With an 84% increase in overall price performance since March 2020, Occidental Petroleum Inc. has had a strong year on the stock market. With a 76% possibility of sustained price growth in the upcoming weeks, the recent positive MACD crossover reinforces the bullish outlook for the stock.
