Exxon Mobil Pulls Back from 5-Year High
Exxon Mobil has pulled back following a big surge earlier this year.
XOM shot above $90 last week for the first time since early 2017. It then retraced almost all the move and is now trying to hold its 50-day simple moving average (SMA).
Its current price level is also near a high from June and July 2019. Can it turn old resistance into new support?
Third, stochastics are nearing an oversold condition.
Finally, the recent pullback may be viewed as a completed ABC correction.
Given the sharpness of its recent drop, some traders may want to see XOM stabilize further. Still, energy is the leading sector in 2022 amid rising demand and the Ukraine crisis.
This week alone, the International Energy Agency (a global organization) warned of more shortages. The Energy Information Agency (part of the U.S. government) separately predicted crude oil will remain above $100 for the next several months. Covid in China is a risk, but trend followers may look for the current trajectory to continue.
