The Trump administration's expansion of oil and gas drilling in Alaska is expected to benefit Occidental Petroleum (OXY), as it increases access to new resources and potential revenue streams. This move is seen as positive for major oil companies like Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), and OXY, with analysts expecting upside from this development.
OXY's stock price is currently trading at $47.94, with a 14-day RSI of 51.72, indicating a neutral position. The MACD is slightly bearish, with a value of -0.27, suggesting some downward momentum. Key Fibonacci levels show resistance at $48.17 and $49.00, with support at $45.49 and $44.66.
Analysts have mixed opinions on OXY. Barclays maintains a Hold rating with a target price of $58, while Citi also has a Hold rating but lowered the target to $51. Raymond James, however, maintains a Buy rating, indicating some optimism.
Volume has increased on falling prices, which could signal caution. However, insider buying, including a significant purchase by Berkshire Hathaway, suggests confidence in the stock's potential.
Based on the analysis, OXY is expected to trade between $46.37 and $48.84 next week. The stock may test the lower support levels but could rebound due to positive news from the drilling expansion.
Prediction: The stock price is expected to be around $47.50.
Recommendation: Sell at $48.84 and buy at $46.37.
The price of OXY is predicted to go up 1.15%, based on the high correlation periods with VC. The similarity of these two price pattern on the periods is 94.51%.

VC
Oxy has a dominant position in the Permian Basin, which is the cheapest source of production in the US and is expected to be a major growth engine in the next few years.
Oxy's conventional assets in the Gulf of Mexico and the Middle East complement its shale operations nicely by generating stable cash flows from assets with a much lower base decline rate.
The Oxy Low Carbon Ventures segment is synergistic with Oxy's chemical business, and Oxy's enhanced oil recovery portfolio holdings and expertise give it a natural advantage in carbon capture.
