Technical Observation (on the daily chart)

Having experienced a substantial correction of approximately 35.49% over the past year, the price has consistently trended downwards. Furthermore, in the previous six months, there has been an observable medium-term downward trend with an 15.82% correction. Since March 01, 2023, the price has corrected by 29.77% and is currently near its 52-week low levels, established on May 31, 2023. Given the circumstances and chances of a double bottom at 52-week low levels, there is a potential for an upward momentum or even a reversal of the current trend. The RSI (14 period) momentum indicator also indicates a value of 38.23, suggesting a likely short to medium-term trend reversal with chances of bullish divergence. Additionally, the price is currently below both the 21-day SMA and 50-day SMA trend-following indicators, which may act as dynamic short-term resistance levels.

As per the above-mentioned price action, correction in the stock over the last months, and technical indicators analysis, a ‘Buy’ rating has been given Golden Ocean Group Ltd. at the current price of USD 7.43 as of June 29, 2023, at 08:25 am PDT.

How to Read the Charts?

The Green colour line reflects the 21-period simple moving average (SMA) while the red line indicates the 50- period simple moving average (SMA). SMA helps to identify existing price trends. If the prices are trading above the 21-period and 50-period moving average, then it shows prices are currently trading in a bullish trend.

The Black colour line in the chart’s lower segment reflects the Relative Strength Index (14-Period) which indicates price momentum and signals momentum in trend. A reading of 70 or above suggests overbought status while a reading of 30 or below suggests an oversold status.

The Blue colour bars in the chart’s lower segment show the volume of the stock. The volume is the number of shares that changed hands during a given day. Stocks with high volumes are more liquid than stocks with lesser volume as liquidity in stocks helps in easier and faster execution of the order.

The Orange colour lines are the trend lines drawn by connecting two or more price points and used for trend identification purposes. The trend line also acts as a line of support and resistance.

Resistance 1 refers to the nearby resistance level for the stock and if the price surpasses the level, then Resistance 2 may act as the crucial resistance level for the stock.
