Shares of oil and gas name Continental Resources Inc. (NYSE:CLR) has added over 40% in 2022, but recently pulled back to the 80-day moving average as fears over slowing growth mounted. This could be an attractive buying opportunity within the context of uptrends. Further, if CLR shares move below their April/May lows near the $55 area, all bets are off, as technical backdrop would come into question.

Wall Street is pessimistic toward Continental Resources stock, with 11 of the 16 covering brokerages sporting tepid “hold” or worse ratings. In simpler terms, this leaves ample room for upgrades on CLR in the coming weeks. Shorts have been in covering mode on the security, accounting for 35% of the stock’s total available float. At Continental Resources stock’s average pace of trading, it would take shorts nearly four days to buy back these bearish bets.
