Watch for Shares of Oracle (ORCL) to Approach Resistance at $35.01


Jan 04, 2013 (SmarTrend(R) News Watch via COMTEX) -- Shares of Oracle (NASDAQ:ORCL) have bullishly opened above the pivot of $34.40 today and have reached the first resistance level of $34.66. Should the shares continue to rise, the resistance pivots of $35.01 and $35.62 will be of interest.



In the past 52 weeks, shares of Oracle have traded between a low of $24.72 and a high of $36.50 and are now at $34.50, which is 40% above that low price. Over the past week, the 200-day moving average (MA) has gone up 0.2% while the 50-day MA has advanced 0.5%.

Potential upside of 7.3% exists for Oracle, based on a current level of $34.50 and analysts' average consensus price target of $37.01. The stock should discover initial support at its 50-day moving average (MA) of $31.71 and subsequent support at its 200-day MA of $30.15.
