Bottom line

SLB Technical Analysis Summary

SLB shows a mixed technical picture with both timeframes displaying conflicting signals. On the daily chart, price at 47.54 has bounced from the 20-period low of 44.59 and shows early MACD improvement (positive histogram at 0.33), but remains below both SMA20 (47.73) and SMA50 (52.52), reflecting persistent short-term weakness. The weekly chart shows price below SMA20 (51.29) with a negative MACD histogram of -1.43, confirming broader corrective pressure. However, both weekly SMA50 (43.44) and SMA200 (43.95) slope upward, keeping the long-term structure intact. The key test is whether SLB can reclaim the daily SMA20 at 47.73 on a sustained basis. A clear break above this level would signal the first step toward trend stabilization.

Comparing daily (2-year) and weekly (5-year) perspectives to identify aligned or conflicting signals.

Daily (July 14, 2026)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 47.54 is slightly below SMA20 (47.73) and well below SMA50 (52.52), but remains above SMA200 (45.44). SMA20 is below SMA50, confirming the short-term downtrend has not yet reversed. SMA200 slopes upward, providing a longer-term structural floor.
Momentum
Slightly bearish. RSI14 at 41.20 is in bearish territory below the neutral 50 level. MACD at -1.64 has crossed above the signal line at -1.96, and the histogram at 0.33 is positive but shallow, suggesting early but modest momentum improvement.
Volatility
Moderate. ATR14 at 1.38 (2.90% of price) indicates average daily movement of about 2.9%. Bollinger Bands (43.33 to 52.12) are moderately wide, with price trading near the middle band after recovering from the lower band.
Volume
Below average. Latest volume of 9,406,983 is 0.56x the 20-period average (16,760,769), indicating reduced participation during the recent price recovery.

Assessment

The daily chart shows price attempting to recover from the 20-period low at 44.59. The shallow positive MACD histogram and price holding above SMA200 are tentative improvement signals. However, RSI at 41.20 remains bearish and volume is weak, suggesting the recovery lacks strong conviction. The SMA20 at 47.73 and the 20-period high at 55.66 define the immediate resistance zone. A decisive move above SMA20 would be the first bullish confirmation. On the downside, the 20-period low at 44.59 and SMA200 at 45.44 serve as key support.

Weekly (July 6, 2026 week)

Trend
Mixed. Price at 47.76 is below SMA20 (51.29) but above SMA50 (43.44) and SMA200 (43.95). SMA20 remains above SMA50 on the weekly chart, a structurally bullish alignment, but price trading below SMA20 signals near-term weakness within the broader uptrend.
Momentum
Neutral to slightly bearish. RSI14 at 48.11 is just below the neutral 50 mark. MACD at 1.31 is below the signal line at 2.74 with a negative histogram of -1.43, indicating ongoing bearish momentum at the weekly scale.
Volatility
Moderate to elevated. ATR14 at 3.83 (8.02% of price) reflects wider weekly ranges, consistent with the sharp pullback from the 52-week high of 58.51.
Volume
Below average. Weekly volume of 56,812,800 is 0.73x the 20-week average (77,604,310), indicating below-normal participation during the corrective phase.

Assessment

The weekly chart reveals a stock in a corrective phase within a longer-term uptrend. Price is below SMA20 with a negative MACD histogram, both indicative of ongoing downward pressure. However, the SMA20/SMA50 alignment remains bullish and SMA200 slopes upward. The 52-week position at 60.85% suggests room for further downside before reaching major support levels at SMA50 (43.44) and SMA200 (43.95). A weekly close above SMA20 (51.29) would be a meaningful turnaround signal.
