APA Nuzzles Lows as Headwinds Afflict Energy
APA is struggling, even as the broader market powers to new highs.
The first pattern on today’s chart is the 2023 low of $30.67. The oil and gas driller has spent much of this year near and below that old level. It’s also made incrementally lower lows. That may suggest support is breaking.
Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “death cross” under the 200-day SMA in December. The 100-day SMA followed in January. Now the 50-day SMA has crossed back under the 100-day SMA. Those events may confirm a bearish trend is forming over the longer term.
Third, this chart includes our 2 MA Ratio custom script in the lower study. It shows the 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has spent almost two months below the 21-day EMA. That may suggest the shorter-term trend has also gotten more bearish.
Finally, the bigger picture may be less favorable as demand weakens and inventories increase – especially for gasoline. TradeStation data also shows that energy is the worst-performing sector in the last month.
