The major trendline is acting as resistance here. Ugly red candle today took us out of range. There is a risk that stocks in general sell off here and that oil stocks go with them.
For ideal entry timing, I would recommend waiting for one or more of the following signals -
- Oil futures breakout of current short-term flag, especially if it occurs while general stocks sell off
- OXY, after a pullback, has a strong upwards bounce off of the teal pennant resistance line
- OXY has a weekly close above the major resistance line
If I spot any of these signals, I will update this idea with a comment! Good luck everybody.
