Royal Dutch Shell A Shares hit lower rail of trend channel and Tickeron’s Overview is bullish
Oil stocks have bounced around a little in recent months, but for the most part the overall trend has been to the upside. Tensions in the Middle East have increased and that has certainly had an impact on the price of oil. One stock that has been trending higher in somewhat of a pattern is Royal Dutch Shell Class A Shares (NYSE: RDS/A).
If you look at the daily chart below you will see that a trend channel has formed over the last four months. The lower rail connects the low from March with the lows from early and late May. The upper rail connects the highs from March, April, and June. The stock just hit the lower rail of the channel and looks ready to bounce once again.
The daily stochastic readings are in oversold territory and they just made a bullish crossover on July 19. We see that the indicators also made bullish crossovers at the previously mentioned lows in March and May.
