The key catalysts here are oil prices staying elevated, successful Iraq field development, and that sequential earnings improvement continuing.
Entry: $184-185 (near 20-day MA support)
Position size: Moderate given energy sector volatility Stop-loss: $175.50 (5.7% risk, aligns with historical max adverse excursion) Initial target: $195-200
I’m mindful of those past failed CVX trades where we got stopped out around 3-4% losses. That’s why I’m setting the stop at $175.50 - wide enough to avoid noise but tight enough to protect capital. The risk/reward here is about 1:3, which makes sense given the 67% historical success rate on similar setups.
This isn’t without risk - if Middle East tensions ease suddenly, oil could pull back sharply. But the fundamentals of supply constraints and Chevron’s low breakeven costs provide a solid floor. I’d scale in gradually and take profits around $200.
