Velas - VLXVelas is the Fastest EVM/eBPF Hybrid Chain of Solana and EVM, and this way inherited the best from both: Up to 75 000 TPS, 1.2 - second finality, extremely low fees and EVM/Solidity support. And surely, if Velas is a new promising platform for DeFi applications, then of course an analog of DAI is needed in this space, given what it is for DeFi on Ethereum. It is this niche that they are striving to fill with the VeleroDAO project and USDV stablecoin — an analog of DAI from MakerDAO. It will be the most serious infrastructure project for the Velas ecosystem that is in the spirit of the open Internet Web 3.0, completely decentralized.
Recently, Velas team designed a 100 mln grant program for developers and projects running on Velas.
The infrastructure of VELAS is now developing so rapidly:
BitOrbit - The first decentralized social media platform on Velas chain;
Velaspad - lauchpad for Velas ecosystem;
Wagyuswap - DEX;
Swapz - a cross-chain stablecoin swapping platform.
They have a strategic partner —Bluezilla Incubator which has shown incredible results over the past year. The incubates projects ATHs:

630x - Velhalla
527x - AstroSwap

I think they will give a boost to the Velas ecosystem.

ValeroLast time price got close to the gap zone, it fell away quickly.
This time, price can't be pushed away. If we chew up all the sell orders before running out of bullish momentum we should break right through the gap zone.
The energy sector has been strong and should help pull it up. See the strong correlation to oil prices at the bottom of the chart.
A Valero FakedownFirst off, sorry for the odd orange lines, I couldn't make the chart 5 minute resolution for this one-day prediction. Instead I tried to predict where the most trading would commence for a given 15 minute timeframe by overlapping transparent lines on the 5 minute chart.
The basic premise is that Valero will end the day in the red after making a semi-H&S formation. I believe this is a "fakedown." Rather than continue to collapse (as it has done numerous times in the past) instead it will either gap up or fly up several dollars close to Monday's open. Such strange price action should catch quite a few investors off guard. That's the stock market for ya.
My reasoning: The recent deep gully since January has caused most potential sellers to sell in fear. What's left are hungry buyers who missed the correction and skittish sellers looking to take profit. Buying now may seem odd, especially given Valero's long-term downward trend, but oil prices have been anything but bearish and Valero is well-positioned to capitalize on that rally. Though prices may come back down in the next few days after this prediction, I believe Valero's future price will not disappoint. I will be keeping an eye on this today and make another Idea if it pans out on Monday.
Conflict of interest notice: I sold Valero calls earlier today and will be buying new calls EOD if Valero is close to the predicted price.
VLO - Support Held, Looking LongValero Energy has been consolidating since early December after a pullback. The support level from a prior high established back on April 25th continued to hold as the price is just starting to break out from the level established on November 2, 2018. A purple dotted line will mark where a previous break out attempt failed so all longs will want to see the price successfully take this level out.
Note the bullish divergence with the stock price & the RSI since the stock has begun its consolidation from early December. The slow stochastic is exiting an oversold condition as well.
As stated above I want to see the price get higher than the dotted purple line. Assuming it does that, I have my Fibonacci extension levels noted with the dotted green lines. The dotted blue line is based on a traditional P&F chart using a 3-box reversal along with a value determined from a 20-day ATR.
Earnings are on January 30th BMO, so anyone planning on holding over a month should take that into account.
VLO - Possible Bullish Swing TradeI will be watching VLO over the next few days and may enter a bullish swing trade if I like the setup. What I will be looking for is a bounce one more time off of the 100 SMA. For the most part, I usually only focus on pure price action when determining whether or not to enter a trade but when looking at the fundamentals for VLO combined with the recent pullback I believe VLO is also undervalued at the current price, which could be a catalyst for a move to the upside. To be clear I am not suggesting that anyone should initiate a long trade on VLO tomorrow but should keep VLO on your radar and watch for a possible bullish setup.
Valero Energy Partners (VLP). Triangle completion. Target 69VLP could be in a large Triangle consolidation wave X.
The last wave E of Triangle is underway or complete.
It shouldn't break below wave C end at 38.89 (red line).
Target is at the 69 where Y=W.

MPC hits top fib line. Sold.I was long at $36 handle on Tuesday. I sold at $38.70 which it is straddling right now at the top of the fib retracement. MPC is outperforming other refiners today like VLO, HFC, PSX.
There is no technical support above $38.70. Either it breaks out to $50+ or rather I am looking to buy another dip below this fib line if there is no sustained upside support for the next few sessions.
