Where To Get Into BHP

This story features BHP GROUP LIMITED. For more info SHARE ANALYSIS: BHP

By Michael Gable 

This week we provide a view on where we think BHP Billiton ((BHP)) is heading.
 

Our previous comment on BHP was back on 25 July when it was trading at $24.40. We noted the break of the downtrend and the signs that it wanted to trade higher. We can see that BHP has gone up to the January high and then stopped short. This is a good sign if you are bullish on BHP. What we want to see now is BHP consolidate here and wash out all the sellers who are taking their profits up at these levels. Once that is done, then BHP would be ready to break through $28 and head into the $30's. If you are looking to buy BHP, then it is advisable to wait for it to dip back under $25. If that can't occur, then the low risk entry would be to wait for the breakout above $28, and follow it when the momentum is positive again.
