Watching $XOP for a pullback after this morning's run
It's been quite the morning for $XOP, pushing up near that 178.90 region which has been a pretty solid resistance point recently. I'm keeping an eye on whether it can consolidate above 178.00, because if it dips back below 175.00, this whole move could easily just be a head fake. My take is that we might see some profit-taking soon, especially if broader market sentiment wavers a bit.
Good call on $XOP. That 178.90 region has definitely been tough to crack. I'm wondering if the recent oil price action might give it more legs than expected, even with some profit-taking.
