Look guys, this is the same Fib retracement that has HELD since the Jan-Feb selloff. Do not take my word for it. Look at my previous predictions, load the new data, and see how much money was made. MPC has had a history of bucking the market. When SPX was down 2%, this was down 7%. When SPX was up 3%, this was up over 8.5%. This is a lower liquidity, higher...
No reason to hold anything over the weekend unless you have to. Something smelly about the markets. I can feel the SPY wanting to sell. MPC rallied up testing 37.00 fib level. It tested that level and it did not breach. The chart indicates overall bullish. It has/is building a nice $35 floor for itself. THE MODEL HAS NOT BEEN RE-DRAWN AND MPC IS TRADING PER THOSE...
I'll let the chart speak for itself. The chart was drawn prior to today's open.
If you went bullish on calls per my previous post, you are enjoying a nice pop today. My time horizon is longer so I am holding until $38.75 (the next fib level). The MA just crossed and I want that to marinate for a few sessions. You should be just playing with house money now if you bought the day or day after I posted. This is technicals-only trade devoid of...
Get em while they're cheap! You might find cheaper premiums on HFC as they nose-dived yesterday, but MPC has stronger fundamentals IMO. And a reminder like always, MPC has a history of bucking the market the market: SPY. In regard to fundamentals, this is an oversold reaction to MPC and other refiners' posting losses for Q1 2016. We all knew the refining...
Please compare this to my previous post where I had drawn the Fib retracement. I have redrawn this to capture the double bottoms. I was not sure if it could break out from it's previous fib level and so far this previous retracement model is holding up. I have said this many times, but will say it again. MPC has a history of bucking the market and is doing so...
Today's was the first breakout for MPC from the fib retracement. It is topping out back to the January lows. This MAY be a point to where the trade switches from fundamentals before it trades off of something technical. Just general discussion. I sold today. Please comment.
I was long at $36 handle on Tuesday. I sold at $38.70 which it is straddling right now at the top of the fib retracement. MPC is outperforming other refiners today like VLO, HFC, PSX. There is no technical support above $38.70. Either it breaks out to $50+ or rather I am looking to buy another dip below this fib line if there is no sustained upside support for...
Yesterday MPC closed at $36.47 on a late rally exactly at its 2nd fib line for which there is previous support at that level. It's been hard for this stock to breakout past $37 with analyst price targets in the $50s. It needs momentum.
3 EV/EBITDA valuation. 5.5% yield. Healthy balance sheet and cash flow.

holding the long-term trend and has made higher high on the daily since the bounce off trendline.
VLO is looking a tad bearish, especially on the weekly. Let's see if it pulls back and we can short it.
IF VLO opens in the red zones, I'm more bearish than bullish. If it opens in the green zones, I'm more bullish. And the purple zone near the strong support and the 100 SMA I'm totally cautious and neutral. *I think it gaps down a SMALL bit.*
After the previous 2 high volume days, VLO has made new highs. However, it did not close with a strong candlestick above the resistance and instead put in a doji. With this location it is setting up a nice Risk vs Reward trade for the short side. Previous resistance will be the 1st profit target and will be moving up the stop loss if the trade goes in my favor.

This is what is known as refining crack spread. The difference between US local crude prices (WTI) and gasoline, kerosine etc, which are tied to Brent Crude prices. The wider the spread, the more margin can Oil Refiner pocket. This spread is what really drives oil refining stocks, not the price of Oil itself. Today the spread shrunk from $7 to $6 and look what...
