On May 8, 2025, the stock fluctuated between a low of $36.19 and a high of $37.35, indicating a range of 3.21%. The increased trading volume on falling prices may signal a potential risk, and investors are advised to monitor the stock closely.

Technical analysis indicates that Baker Hughes' stock is within a wide and falling trend in the short term. The stock has issued sell signals from both short and long-term moving averages, suggesting a negative outlook. However, there is also a buy signal from the 3-month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), which could provide some support for the stock.

For the upcoming trading day on May 9, 2025, Baker Hughes is expected to open at $36.60, with a possible trading range between $34.86 and $37.64. The stock is closer to its support level at $35.71, which could provide a buying opportunity if tested. The trading risk/reward intra-day is considered attractive, with potential profit before the stock reaches its first resistance level.
