Occidental Petroleum, OXY:
1. Our previous Occidental Petroleum report (Sun., Nov. 16 indicated that aggressive traders could begin buying Occidental Petroleum upon any touch and daily close above $85.77/$.25 for a tradable multiweek advance test/attempt at $89.50/$90.50 (or higher) into the week of Dec. 1 (+/- 1 week).
2. Subsequently, Occidental Petroleum declined into the $85.77/$.25 buying territory (Nov. 19 swing low, $85.39) and closed each session above $85.77. Therefore, aggressive traders are now long Occidental Petroleum between (approximately) $85.90 – $86.05.
3. An initial long position exit should be taken now at current prices (current price $86.70). The remaining position will be held for substantially higher prices including a test/attempt at $89.50/$$90.50 noted in the original update.
4. A protective sell stop should be placed at $85.68. This stop will be moved higher as the market continues to confirm.

Occidental Petroleum, OXY:
1. Occidental Petroleum provided long entry for aggressive traders between $85.90 – $86.05 based upon the Nov. 19 daily close at $86.04, noted in previous reports. Partial long position exits were taken at $86.70 and the remaining position held for our $89.50/$$90.50 upside target, noted in the original update.
2. Occidental Petroleum subsequently advanced to $88.77 ($2.72 per share in our favor) before reversing and triggering our $86.60 protective sell stop. This resulted in profitable trade.
3. The decline back to the original $85.77/$25 buying territory is unusual behavior (today’s session low, $85.70, so far). If Occidental holds $85.77/$.25 it may prompt a secondary long entry for the original $89.50/$$90.50 upside target. Will update as the market continues to confirm.
