Concerning technical analysis and more specifically, trend indicators, the Commodity Channel Index (CCI) indicator is below -100, meaning the market price is unusually low and below its rolling moving average. Technical analysis indicates that a new, strong downtrend could be forthcoming with short positions favored. Having stamped out a session range of $37.66 to $38.23, Fibonacci-inclined OGE traders were highly concentrated around active Fibonacci support at $37.98. Analysis based on the asset volatility indicates that Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $37.51, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that OGE is trading below its fair value. A study of OGE's historical price actions shows OGE could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 22 cents away from $37.53. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead.
All in all, the technical analysis suggests OGE has no clear-cut direction.
