Looking at higher time frames, Exxon (XOM) looks to be in a position to break upwards toward 104 area. It may take several weeks, but potentially, a nice addition to your portfolio. I recommend only using a buy stop order above the high of the last formed bull bar from this past EOW close.
Exxon Mobil, major oil company, has just published its quarterly results. Its profits went down (2.7b$ vs 4.2b$ the previous year).

XOM breaking out of a trendline from late July. It has cleared the 50, 100, and 200 SMA Higher lows on the Daily also suggest a possible reversal. If there is a pullback towards the trendline it will allow a decent risk/reward on a long entry.
As you can see there's a head and shoulders on EXXON MOBIL CORP. The rejection level is around 82.42, and the objective is around 70.79. The primary objective is 73.67.
Exxon is in a complex situation - but overall risk is still to the downside at the moment. On long term basis, XOM fell out of 1st standard deviation from 5-year mean (at 76 now), but is still holding within 1st standard deviation from 10-year mean (although, below the mean itself) Thus XOM is on risk of decline there at least to 65 - which is the lower 1st...
CVX is a correlative equity to XOM. These are consist in trend moves comparable to other equities in their sector. You want volatility for the option's play.
