Schlumberger has bounced along with other energy stocks recently, but some traders may see a downtrend taking shape.

The first pattern on today’s chart is the $47 level. It was near the lows in February and early May. SLB is now potentially stalling at the same point. Has old support become new resistance?

Second, the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) has fallen into the same price zone. That may reflect a bearish intermediate-term trend.

Third, the 50-day SMA had a “death cross” below the 200-day SMA in early January and has remained there since. That may reflect a bearish long-term trend.

Finally, stochastics have hit an overbought condition.
