The Oil and Gas Exploration ETF (XOP) is up over 10 percent from our initial buy level and now close to our initial target of $60.50.
Aggressive investors can trim into this zone and buy a pullback if we do get it. That said, momentum remains firm and I think it’s wise to look for the intermediate-term price target of $71.50.
Oil and energy stocks are getting a boost from stronger crude oil prices.
Crude oil futures have rolled over to the January 2021 futures contract and its current price is at our MFU-3 price target level of $45.30. The price profile is slightly different from the December contract, but we still expect a pause into this zone. And, if we get it, we would be adding to long exposure.
The intermediate-term Money Flow Unit (MFU) work is bullish and we want to add to any weakness. Crude oil price strength will help keep a bid under the Oil and Gas Exploration stocks and ETF (XOP).
