VLO - Support Held, Looking Long

Long
NYSE:VLO   Valero Energy Corporation
Valero Energy has been consolidating since early December after a pullback. The support level from a prior high established back on April 25th continued to hold as the price is just starting to break out from the level established on November 2, 2018. A purple dotted line will mark where a previous break out attempt failed so all longs will want to see the price successfully take this level out.

Note the bullish divergence with the stock price & the RSI since the stock has begun its consolidation from early December. The slow stochastic is exiting an oversold condition as well.

As stated above I want to see the price get higher than the dotted purple line. Assuming it does that, I have my Fibonacci extension levels noted with the dotted green lines. The dotted blue line is based on a traditional P&F chart using a 3-box reversal along with a value determined from a 20-day ATR.

Earnings are on January 30th BMO, so anyone planning on holding over a month should take that into account.
