How do we generate the price momentum score of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd?

When generating the price momentum score for Canadian Natural Resources Ltd, we examine momentum indicators including support and resistance levels as well as volume metrics.
Support levels represent price points where buying interest is strong enough to prevent further declines, while resistance levels indicate prices where selling pressure may hinder upward movement.

Skewness helps assess the distribution of returns and whether performance may be biased. Volatility indicators—such as realised volatility and standardised true range—reveal price fluctuations. Downside risk-adjusted returns provide insight into potential losses and gains. Lastly, liquidity metrics like average turnover rate and turnover deviation indicate how actively the stock is traded.
These indicators together provide a multi-dimensional understanding of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd’s risk-return profile, serving as core factors of the risk management score. A higher score indicates lower risk on the side of Canadian Natural Resources Ltd.
