Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation | OCSL

Daily Technical Analysis of Oaktree Specialty Lending Corporation

Oaktree Specialty Lending bobbled around today only ended up 0.45% since yesterday.

Currently OCSL isn't at a clear support/resistance line that seems tradable. But we can consider it's momentum, Oaktree Specialty Lending has seen a lot of selling over the last year which hasn't let up, this thing has really been sliding. People who bought the Credit Services company have lost -20.73 percent over the last 12 months, not great! I would wait until it get to a better support level before rolling the dice on this one. OCSL might find some support at the 21.735 level, buyers might push the price back up from here. But it's not very clear what will happen.

How Oaktree Specialty Lending compares to the broader Financial Services sector and the more specific Credit Services industry

Segment	Count	1 Day%	5 Day	1 Month	3 Month	6 Month	1 Year	RSI	3mo S-momo ? Smooth Momentum is our proprietary technical indicator that looks for momentum with the greatest consistency and steady velocity. We have penalized dramatic swings and fluctuations. If the momentum is too high and an asset spikes upward, this is often unreliable and collapses back down. But the smoothed momentum provides the highest probability of continuing into the near future with the same directional rate of change. Several complex factors are weighted by neural nets to maximize probabilistic accuracy. It works the same with positive or negative directions.	6mo S-momo	1yr S-momo	Resistance ? Support and Resistance levels are determined by previous high and low points. You may be familiar with traders drawing lines across charts where several peaks or valleys occur in the same range. This helps us understand the trading range of an asset where the market doesn't perceive it to be worth more or less than a certain price level. When it nears the boundaries of this range the probability of reversal can increase. Our neural nets create scores for this measure based on many factors such as the frequency, recency, size, consistency, etc of previous reversal points.	Support	Demark Sell ? Demark 9 indicators are designed to look for exhaustion in the selling or buying trend which can often be predictive of a reversal point. This indicator is triggered when there are 9 consecutive days where the closing price is higher/lower than the closing price 4 days ago. Like all indicators, it is best used in combinations with other factors.	Demark Buy	Short Interest	Analysts Ratings ? We track several different measures of analyst sentiment including ratings and price targets. To create a composite Analyst Sentiment Score, we weight several factors such as the recent rate of change which can be more predictive than the absolute level. We also weight each analyst's opinion based on their historic accuracy. We built in a time decay function to ensure that the rating reflects the current sentiment levels. Typical range (-80 to +80)
