The Oil Services Vaneck ETF (OIH-N) has received mixed reviews from experts who view it as a leveraged energy play. Notably, one expert has recently trimmed their position in the ETF, indicating a strategic decision given that their cost basis has risen significantly to $330. The green light for this action comes from the current upsurge in oil prices, prompting the expert to suggest that it is prudent to reduce exposure by 25%. Despite this move, the expert acknowledges a solid gain of 30% since January 12, showcasing the ETF's strong performance in the recent bullish oil market. Overall, the sentiment towards the ETF seems cautiously optimistic, balancing opportunities with prudent risk management.
The oilfield services have the same seasonality as the oil sector itself. If you want to get leverage, this is where you play.

This tends to move from around mid-December through until April. Technically, the stock is showing a nice base pattern already. If it moves above its pattern, it will be a classic reverse head and shoulders pattern. Thinks that $26.27 is the magic number, and a move above that will complete the pattern.
