Technical Analysis / Trade Setup There could be a trade coming up next week in energy. The 50sma has worked as support 2 consecutive times, and could potentially do it again.
This level is also coincidental with the 50% Fibonacci retracement level & 2020 highs; which suggests this support level has more strength.
Backtesting Data There is a very interesting discrepancy between stocks within the energy sector going on; where most stocks are above the 200sma, byt below their 10sma. --> From 1979 until today, there has only been 12 times where this has happened... What did it mean going forward? Energy was up 70% of the time looking a year later, with an average of 27%.
