Technical chart analysis shows OGE Energy Corp. could begin to recover as it approaches significant support, now 30 cents away from $34.64. Dipping below could be an indication that further losses are ahead. With regards to technical trend indicators, chart analysis show that 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. Price action remains constrained around the key Fibonacci level of $35.22 currently serving as support. If price action breaks below, the next Fib hurdle is $34.46. According to momentum evaluation, the Relative Strength Index indicates OGE is in an oversold condition, which could precipitate a reversal and set up a new bullish phase. According to asset volatility analysis, Bollinger Bands® shows an indication of recovery: the lower band is at $35, a low enough level to, generally, suggest that OGE is trading below its fair value.
Overall, the technical outlook suggests OGE is likely to remain muted for the immediate future, with no clear-cut direction.
OGE was not the only decliner in the utilities sector; NextEra Energy went down to $73.39, losing 1.14% after it closed at $74.24 yesterday.
