ENERGY BETMy intention is to dollar-cost average on NYSE:OXY throughout this quarter. I'm aiming to acquire shares of this stock at a maximum price of $61 per share. Anticipating increased tension in the Middle East, especially around the Suez Canal, I foresee a potential disruption in hydrocarbon supply, likely impacting oil prices, whether significantly or insignificantly.
Simultaneously, there's a noticeable increase in yields on 20-year treasuries. Investors seem to be factoring in the possibility that the Fed might deviate from its plan to lower interest rates in 2024...
Please provide your opinions as I am not an expert in commodities or Oil! Thank you!

SHEL, CVX, XOM SWING TRADE IDEASWith Oil companies reporting earnings and also a majority of them attempting to break ATH, I have my eyes on SHEL, CVX, and XOM.
CVX and XOM already reported earnings and did not have an all around beat but CVX beat revenue and XOM beat earnings!
SHEL is set to report their earnings on Thursday pre- market and I will be looking to enter into a swing in either direction. By using the 50, 100, and 200MA on the Daily timeframe, I am able to see my support levels to the downside. If we get a daily close below the 50ma at 57.30, I will look to swing it down to the 100ma at 55.11. If we can close below the 200ma on the D, at 54.58, I will look to hold this swing for a while, as it completes the double top pattern found on the D.
Now, a break above 61.50/62.50 would be a new 3 year high with its next resistance Level found around 66.50/67. This is where my bias lies because I believe the energy sector, oil companies in particular, will have a bullish run this year. However, I will trade what I see, not what I think!
Happy Trading!
