Hemisphere Energy (HMENF) looks like a tradable long from current levels. The stock is trading below its short- and medium-term moving averages, RSI sits near 41, and short activity is substantial — all of which set up a bounce if oil stabilizes. I’m recommending a mid-term swing trade with clear entry, stop and target, while recognizing macro oil …
