Unlike the <span>ASX200<\/span> (<span>XJO<\/span>), <span>BHP<\/span> is not experiencing a shallow correction, and the volume has picked up here on the way down, so you would have to assume that the overall bias for the next few weeks is to the downside.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tWe can also see the stock coming out of a very overbought condition on the <span>RSI<\/span> (circled). There is support at $36.50, which is where it is now, but a breach of that could see it drift back towards $34.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tLonger term, the share price action of <span>BHP<\/span> is looking much more positive than it did 6 months ago. So if we do see it back at $34, then investors should treat that as a buying opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<strong>*Potential Strategy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n\tA short term bounce from this support level will give longer term holders of <span>BHP<\/span> an opportunity to write a covered call and take advantage of the shorter term weakness in the stock.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/ckfinder\/userfiles\/images\/BHP_Gable_Jan13.jpg\" style=\"width: 670px;height: 737px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>Content included in this article is not by association necessarily the view of <span>FNArena<\/span> (see our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/index2.cfm?type=dsp_webht\">disclaimer<\/a>).<\/em><br \/>\n\t&nbsp;<br \/>\n\t<em>Visit Michael&nbsp;Gable&#039;s website at&nbsp;<span>&nbsp;<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgable.com.au\">www.michaelgable.com.au\/<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.michaelgable.com.au\/\">.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>After leaving Macquarie Bank&#039;s Securities Group in 2008 after many years of service, Michael has gained a highly regarded reputation in the financial services industry.
