HF Sinclair Pulls Back to a Key Moving Average, So Now What?

That's hard to say, as the charts indicate it is touch and go for the direction that the shares of the oil refiner will take from here.

Stocks quotes in this article: DINO

HF Sinclair Corp. ( DINO) has seen its shares pull back to the rising 200-day moving average line this month. In strong markets corrections to the 200-day moving average line are often buying opportunities for forward-looking investors, so let's check the charts and indicators of the oil refiner to see what might be ahead for its stock.
 
In this daily bar chart of DINO, below, we can see that prices quickly declined to the rising 200-day moving average line this month. Prices obviously are below the cresting 50-day line. Trading volume surged in late November and the On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line plunged. The trend-following Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is bearish. 
 
 
 
 
In this weekly Japanese candlestick chart of DINO, below, we can see that prices are testing/holding the rising 40-week moving average line. Prices do not yet show us a bottom reversal pattern and do not yet show us lower shadows. The weekly OBV line shows recent weakness after a three-year rise. The MACD oscillator is above the zero line but has crossed to the downside for a take profit sell signal. 
 
 
In this daily Point and Figure chart of DINO, below, we can see that prices reached and overshot a downside price target of $55. 
 
 
In this weekly Point and Figure chart of DINO, below, we can see a potential downside price target in the $31 area. 
 
 
 
Bottom line strategy: A number of price charts I watch on a daily basis are touch and go right now. DINO could be included in that list. Prices could hold the 200-day line and restart the stock's uptrend, but it also could fail and turn lower. I honestly don't know which will happen. Stay nimble and stay tuned.
