Despite posting gains on yesterday, OGE Energy Corp. slid below its 50 day Simple Moving Average at $36.75 during the last session — an early indicator that a negative trend could be emerging. OGE could be slowing down soon as it approaches resistance at $37.82. Of course, crossing it might suggest further gains are ahead. In contrast, OGE's lower Bollinger Band® is at $36.64, indicating that the market is oversold and fertile for new buyers.
Technical analysis of OGE price action suggests it is likely to undergo a short-term reversal amid broader bullish sentiment.
