XLE - Strong Oil!

The talk of cutting rates during the inflationary Cycle is pressuring Oil shares higher. This coupled with worldwide wars underway, and the bursting of the the mirage that electric cars would reduce oil consumption in the short term is leading to an Oil surge. In addition, on the supply side, the artificial selling of Oil out of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been absorbed easily into the market and time is running out. Weekly

  3. We can see the 200 weekly starting to firm up as it prepares to launch XLE and GUSH into the stratosphere!

  4. I am bringing this situation to your attention to put on watch. Price is getting a little overbought here and I would not chase just yet. We should expect some flattening before it goes vertical...

  5. Thanks SC - seems like oil could re-test or even best the 2007 highs of $147...USO/GUSH/XLE could do very well in the near future.

    1. Exactly! Oil may actually just gap up to $150 repricing to a new level.

    2. $250 seems like a good target once it breaks out from this large base.

    1. Oil cracks 87 today. SPX pulling back...seems like they could be inversely correlated for a short period of time. Let's see if we get any action into the eclipse Monday.

    2. That is a good point. At some price high Oil becomes quite damaging to the market and they can become inversely related. Oil makes very aggressive moves at times for example in 2008.

  7. looks like you prefer XLE for trading oil instead of USO?

    1. Based on my charting it is Oil company shares specifically that are extremely undervalued. XLE is an etf that represents that sector of the market. UCO is different because it's an Oil commodity fund.

      So although the commodity Oil is anticipated to rise, yes my preference in this case to trade is actually Oil stock.

  9. Notice on this chart that XLE didn't experience the bear market of 2022 that we saw in SPX. Instead XLE consolidated and grinding higher.

    1. Long uso calls and just bought some xle to go with it. Thanks SC. Pretty sure the hedge funds are short both oil/energy stocks, so we could see some explosive short covering once oil moves higher.

  10. SPX correction with inflation. All the things we have talked about. Though watching UVXY it hasn't moved much.

  11. Oil shares should get a little higher in short term. GUSH looking to test 2022 levels of $50. It's not overbought.

    1. Are you thinking within next few weeks?

    2. For now Oil just slowly warming up and accumulate GUSH and OXY. Oil can rise more short term.

      It will take some time for Oil to get ready though for the big move probably months for the biggest move.
