From a technical perspective, Exxon Mobil closed above its 20-day moving average on Sep. 6, which signals that short-term momentum remains in place. The stock’s rising support line drawn from the July lows has also acted as support over the last ~two months and is not far behind. As a result, the technical backdrop is quite constructive.
However, a breakout or breakdown could happen within a matter of days. Exxon Mobil’s July closing high was $96.93, and investors rejected three attempts to recoup this level since the breakdown on Aug. 30. If the gap between support and resistance becomes narrower by the day, the stock will need to rally above its July closing high or risk losing its 20-day MA and its rising support line.
Is a breakout more likely than a breakdown, or should you wait for clarity before making your move?
Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
