Is Marathon Oil Getting Ready to Run?

Energy stocks are outperforming this month, and some traders may think Marathon Oil is getting ready to run.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the relatively tight range that’s formed since the spring. MRO has remained above the May low of $25.50 and below a gently falling trendline. Prices have pushed against resistance for more than a week. That could make some traders watch for a potential breakout.

Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) had a “golden cross” above the 200-day SMA in April and has remained there since. Is the longer-term trend getting more bullish?

Finally, our 2 MA Ratio in the lower study shows the 8-day exponential moving average has crossed above the 21-day EMA. That may suggest its short-term trend is getting more bullish.
