Long-term picture
Gazprom Neft shares have been moving in a steep uptrend since 2016. The rise in quotations was accompanied by two corrective waves in 2017 and 2018.
In 2020, the impact of the coronavirus on world markets and oil prices led to a breakdown of the growing trend of Gazprom Neft, shares from historical highs lost more than half of their value at the moment. At the same time, the potential for a return to an upward trend remains with a decrease in the impact of the coronavirus and a recovery in energy demand.
On the weekly chart, the price has consolidated between the 50- and 200-week moving averages. The RSI indicator is at the neutral point (50). MACD curves continue to show the formation of an upward trend, but there is a tendency to cross.
It is important for buyers to gain a foothold above 350 rubles, which will open the way to levels above 370 rubles. However, the risks around the pandemic remain, and this may negatively affect the quotes of Gazprom Neft.
