TSX Energy XEG 12.66 2022 Low and more ?I was overweight energy for most of 2022 selling my exposure around the summer and the remaining in the fall.
It was not and easy decision but the trend in WTI and Brent prices was too bearish to ignore.
Seems to me now It's only a matter of time we take out the 2022 low of 12.66, the more intriguing question is where we go once we get there ?
On the weekly timeframe top left we can see the 50 weekly ma acting as support for most of 2022 now we appear to be losing it.
The Daily timeframe top right we can see the 20 day ma the black line has finally crossed below the 200 day ma you have to go back to January 2020 the last time this took place and before that fall 2018. Seems obvious it's only a matter of time before all moving averages are below the 200 on the daily.
I am a long term energy bull due to the supply constraints we are facing and lack of investment but for the beginning of 2023 first quarter at least with calls for a recession growing I don't see the upside for Oil or energy stocks, yes I know they pay great dividends but I don' t think this will save them from a market downturn.
I am patiently waiting on my cash to re enter this sector ideally in the spring
XEG
XEG Canadian Oil safer playThis one is part of iShares and as such it contains the safest of the Canadian Energy Companies. The distribution is garbage right now with 0.02 /q but the history of this one has distributions as high as 0.08 in recent (2 years) history. A decent way to ride energy up. Not saying we are in a bull market on oil and no one knows where it is going over the next year, but 73-75 on USO seems to be the current (next week or two) target.
> is my most recent study on Oil, and purely technical, and not overly complex. Fundamental study is always recommended with oil.
> disclosure, I have a position built during 2020 on this.
WHY SPY/DIA looks more bullish XEG is represents the capped energy index of TSX and SPX companies, so its not exactly a true representation for SPY/DIA looking the way it does. But, you get the general Idea.- investors are flocking to other sectors and dividend paying stocks.
Im bullish energy sector as i think is undervalued and forgotten for most of 2013, but i think ive missed much of the recent bullish move. I'm still long term Bullish, but we could use a pull back here. Maybe the 18.50 ish is level would be a good long entry. If tomorrow XEG sells off from here then SPY/DIA will not look as bullish anymore, at least in the short term.
