NASDAQ: IMPP daily chart by TradingView

Imperial Petroleum Stock had not performed well in the past one year and continuously declined by forming lower lows swings. It has not generated any returns and disappointed the long term investors. 

Recently, after a long time some positive upward momentum is visible. If the buyers succeed to break out of the $4.00 hurdle, more upside will open and prices might test $5.00. 

However, if the price faces rejection, it is likely to remain in the consolidation range between $2.00 to $4.00. On the other hand, if the prices drop below the 50 day EMA then it may be interpreted as a bull trap. 

The technical analysis suggests, IMPP Stock price is in bear grip and recent up-move has low probability of sustaining the higher levels.

The technical indicators like MACD had generated a positive crossover and histogram bar is on rise. It indicates upward momentum might continue for some more time. The RSI at 62 sloping sideways denotes prices are facing hurdles on higher levels.
