[Premium] Trade Of The Week

September 7, 2020

Market volatility is picking up slightly, so we're trying our luck on the short side again with a name in the Energy space.

Here's Oil & Natural Gas Corp. stuck below overhead supply near 88 and beginning to trend lower once again. The 200-day moving average is still downward-sloping, momentum is weak, and the stock is showing relative weakness versus its sector and the broader market.

As a result, we want to be short Oil & Natural Gas Corp. if below 75, with an initial target near 60.

To conclude, the current market conditions suggest a more defensive approach towards stocks is appropriate. If we are going to test the waters on the short side, we want to short things with well-defined risk and multiple themes/factors pointing it in the same direction.

In the case of Oil & Natural Gas Corp., we've got a weak stock, in a weak sector, a potential catalyst in Crude Oil breaking down out of its range last week and an extremely well-defined risk against 75.

For all of the stocks we want to be buying and selling, make sure to review our Trade Ideas page.
