RIG - breaking the down trend

Whilst the main market trended higher across Nov/December, Transocean (RIG) has slipped around 15%, from the $55s to $47.00 last Friday. The Christmas Eve close, +2.0% @ $48.12, is a reasonably clear break from the down trend. First upside target is 51/53.

Summary

It has taken a fair bit longer than I expected, but RIG has finally appeared to put in a floor of $47.00 - the Friday quad-opex low, and now we're headed higher..back into the 50s.

Relative to the main market, RIG remains bizarrely valued.

Based on the price action in the past few years, I'd have to assume RIG has a reasonable chance to ramp into mid January.

Near term targets: 51/53, then a test of the 55 high.

Mid-term: 75/85, by late 2015.
