CVX
Feeding The Chevron BearsOn April 7, 2017, the Chevron Corporation ( CVX ) crossed below its 150 day moving average (MA). Historically this has occurred 253 times and the stock does not always drop. The stock has a median loss of 3.162% and a maximum loss of 55.271% over the next 15 trading days.
When we take a look at other technical indicators, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 48.9096. RSI tends to determine overbought and oversold levels as well as likelihood of price swings. I personally use anything above 75 as overbought and anything under 25 as oversold. The current reading declares the stock is relatively neutral, with no clear volatile price swing on the horizon.
The true strength index (TSI) is currently -16.6606. The TSI determines overbought/oversold levels and/or current trend. I solely use this as an indicator of trend as overbought and oversold levels vary. The TSI is double smoothed in its calculation and is a great indicator of upward and downward movement. The current readin declares the stock is down, and has remained around its current reading for a few weeks. This indicator should have moved up or down by now which adds to the uncertain future and leaves a drop in the stock price well within play.
The positive vortex indicator (VI) is at 1.0845. When the positive level is higher than 1 and higher than the negative indicator, the overall price action is moving upward. When the negative level is higher than 1 and higher than the positive indicator, the overall price action is moving downward. The current reading declares the stock is moving up.
The stochastic oscillator K value is 71.4480 and D value is 69.7333. This is a cyclical oscillator that is highly accurate and can be used to identify overbought/oversold levels as well as pending reversals. I personally use anything above 80 as overbought and below 20 as oversold. When the K value is higher than the D value, the stock is trending up. When the D value is higher that the K value the stock is trending down. The current reading declares the stock has been moving up, but the divergence between the two has recently narrowed and a downturn is likely to quickly occur.
Considering the moving average crossover, RSI, TSI, VI and stochastic levels, the overall direction appears to be heading down. Based on historical movement compared to current levels and the current position, the stock could lose another 2.28% over the next 15 trading days. On the day previous to this negative cross below the MA, the stock crossed above. The last 11 times in the past decade, the stock crossed and closed below the MA one day after it closed above the MA, the stock dropped a minimum of 1.728%.
Chevron is not in the clear yetOn March 27, 2017 Chevron (CVX) crossed below the 200 day moving average (MA). Historically this has occurred 228 times. When this happens, the stock does not always continue to drop. It has a median drop of 3.615% and maximum drop of 54.094% over the next 15 trading days.
When we take a look at other technical indicators, the relative strength index (RSI) is at 33.8291. RSI tends to determine overbought and oversold levels. I personally use anything above 75 as overbought and anything under 25 as oversold. The current reading declares the stock is trending downward.
The true strength index (TSI) is currently -17.8724. The TSI determines overbought/oversold levels and/or current trend. I solely use this as an indicator of trend as overbought and oversold levels vary. The TSI is double smoothed in its calculation and is a great indicator of upward and downward movement. The current reading declares the stock is trending downward.
The negative vortex indicator (VI) is currently 1.2387. The VI determines current trend and direction. When the positive level is higher than 1 and higher than the negative indicator, the overall price action is moving upward. When the negative level is higher than 1 and higher than the positive indicator, the overall price action is moving downward. The current reading declares the stock is trending downward but it could rebound soon.
Considering the moving average crossover, RSI, TSI, and VI levels, the overall near-term stock direction appears to be trending downward. Based on historical movement compared to current levels and current overall downtrend channel, the stock could gain at least another 2% over the next three weeks.
CVX - Swing Trade LongCVX has moved up nicely and is among the stronger stocks in the XLE sector. Prices topped out in the $119 level and retraced with weak bear candles.
I'm looking for a move down to the $110/$109.5 level, which corresponds to a 50% Fib retracement.
Play to potential price target @ 122.50. First profit target @ $119 (Previous High).
CVX Swing Trade LongCVX has been in a nice uptrend and is among the stronger stocks from the XLE sector. Prices reached $119 and have retreated in an orderly manner. The price target for a measured move is at the 122-123 level, so I would suspect another leg up to complete the move.
I am looking for prices to retrace to the $110 level and will buy Calls. Price target is the previous high of $119 and the MM target of $122.
Good Hunting!
Long RDCRowan has a joint venture with Saudi Aramco. Cash flow is healthy and enough backlog to sustain through 2020 imo. 3.5x ev/ebitda.
light crude dudeI think oil is set to blast off. The indications are clear in the prices but I also think fundamentally - not based on the current ratio supply and demand of oil necessarily but in the geopolitical uncertainty that lies ahead. If the USA proceeds with "defending" the South China Sea as promised by the leadership, we will see oil prices react.

CVX @ 15 min @ GAP (116 & 118) should be a recreational poolCVY got an challenging 15min chart - no question !!! But also tradeable ...
The trend channel starts more or less around 114 & 116 this week & ends around 115 & 117 more or less. But much more important is the GAP (after OPEC news while weekstart - even last monday) even between 116 & 118. `cause you can see, while last trading day (on friday) traders traded CVX in something like a breakout-formation (two times higher highs & higher lows) - but under weekly high from monday. And from thuis point of view, i am wouldn`t wondering if CVX the GAP develop to something like a recreational pool next week (between 116 & 118) ...
Take care

CHEVRON @ 15 min @ last big Resistance around 109.27 left behind2014 CVY was traded between 109.27 (low before ATH) & 135.10 (ATH)
Important is my opinion, from the technical point of view also the fact, that the 1st Downside Wave after ATH (Aa, Bb & Cc) created a last high (C) by 120.17. And this should be also the first target into 2017 ...
1st GAP bewteen 113.14 & 112.48
2nd GAP between 112.55 & 112.07
3rd GAP between 111.28 & 110.64
These are all buying oppurtunities - this week & next week.
Take care

BEARISH RATING - XLE (SPDR SELECT SECTOR - ENERGY)It's been about seven sessions since we first issued our real time rating on XLE as bearish, and we still believe there will be opportunity to the downside.
Volatility should continue as headline risk prompts uncertainty in the markets. Even if Saudi Arabia did happen to freeze or reduce production, it could not be enough in the long-term to offset production by Iran, Iraq, Russia and US shale producers. Furthermore, as we stated well over a year ago, the continuously slowdown in global economic growth will put a damper on crude prices.
Here is our note from 9.14.16:
Fundamentally, we do not see a meaningful resolution between Saudi Arabia and Russia curtailing their massive crude production, in part do to the unwillingness of Iran to freeze production until it reaches 4 m/bbl per day in production. With Russia - and most of OPEC - continuing course, any production cuts by domestic producers will be offset, and the supply glut will continue.
What is troubling, too, is the IEA reduced its demand forecasts by 100,000 barrels due to weaker demand from Asia. The report suggested that the supply-demand imbalance will last until the first half of 2017. If subscribers remember, we foretasted, in August 2015, that demand would continue to slow due to the global slowdown and that Chinese demand would wane. The inability for the consensus to forecast the sharp decline in global economic growth has left crude prices quite volatile.
We expect ongoing EIA inventory data to favor crude bears as the industry heads into the seasonally weak winter months.
Technically, a break below $68 will press ascending support. We like the technical indicator make-up that suggests that the next leg of selling is beginning as long as it is supported by key fundamental factors. As bulls continue to unwind longs, the z-score will turn bearish which we prefer on the short-side until -1.5 to -2. Bearish targets are set up on key support.
Rating Specifics :
Signal Trigger: $67.98
Signal Threshold: $70.02
Signal Opportunity: $60
R/R Ratio: 3.91
Duration: 1 to 3 months

Chevron sell the rallyAfter a strong impulse down Chevron is in what appears to be a corrective structure.
We will be waiting for a break out of the lower trend line. Once that happens we will watching on lower time frames for a retest and rejection before taking the short position. The targets would be 55, 30 & 15 which are previous strong support levels.
If the rally breaks up and out of the 110 level then this trade will be invalid.
Pairing CVX and XOMCVX reached a major Monthly Resistance in the past week and today saw major volume in sold shares and bought Puts which drew my attention. CVX Option volatility is still above average so the best play would be buying Vertical Put Spreads. Buying the September 16 95/92.5 Spread for $0.58 yields a greater than 3:1 Reward/Risk if it reaches max profit. I'm aiming for a 8.5% bearish move with earnings one month away to act as a catalyst which is reasonable.
The best company to hedge the short trade with in terms of industry and market cap is XOM. For the hedge to match the risk and movement I went with the October 16 95/97.5 Call Spread for $0.60. I'm aiming for a 8.5% bullish move and this stock also has earnings on the same date a month away.
Expectancy on this trade is 54% with 2.4:1 Reward/Risk.
