When we look at the Devon Energy Corporation (NYSE:DVN) price chart, we see its steady climb from the $50.50 range at the start of last week, well into the $54 price range where it stabilized and also reached as high as $55.
However, during yesterday’s session, there was near 6% retraction from the $54.5 down to the $51.5 level, attempting consolidation in the $52 region, possibly due to anticipation for the earnings announcement.
Devon Energy has scheduled a quarterly earnings announcement today. If earning expectations are surpassed, we could expect the price to move upwards, towards the $58 price range.
It was last found trading at $52.28 with the closest overhead resistance of $54 and the closest support level at $51.5. Today we can expect a consolidation at the current level or a move towards $55 resistance.
If, however, it doesn’t manage to hold on to the current level, then a move towards the $162 support can be expected.
