SmarTrend Watching for Potential Pullback in Shares of Ultra Petroleum After 2.48% Gain
Feb 14, 2012 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) --
Ultra Petroleum (NYSE:UPL) traded in a range yesterday that spanned from a low of $23.89 to a high of $24.88. Yesterday, the shares gained 2.5%, which took the trading range above the 3-day high of $24.21 on volume of 4.5 million shares. Often times after large one-day gains, short term traders will seek to take profits and, as such, investors should be cautious.
In the past 52 weeks, shares of Ultra Petroleum have traded between a low of $23.09 and a high of $51.20 and are now at $24.35, which is 5% above that low price. Over the last five market days, the 200-day moving average (MA) has gone down 1% while the 50-day MA has declined 2.1%.
SmarTrend recommended that its subscribers protect gains by selling shares of Ultra Petroleum on December 14th, 2011 by issuing a Downtrend alert when the shares were trading at $30.08. Since that call, shares of Ultra Petroleum have fallen 21.0%. We are now looking for when a new Uptrend will commence and will alert SmarTrend subscribers in real time.
