XLE trade ideas
Iron Condor XLE 13 May 2022XLE 13 May 2022
The current implied volatility is at 36.3%/year
So that converted into daily is 2.3%
Since we are in need of the open price for the highest accuracy, I am going to take the current price
which is 79.3(you can also wait for the opening price and take +- 1.8 points from the open candle value)
So based on that our channel for today is going to be compressed with a probability chance of 85% within
TOP 81.1
BOT 77.5
From fundamental point, today we have no big volatility news that can impact our asset.
At the same time the current values are expected to be sidemarket/bullish.
At the same the weekly expected channel top and bot values for DIA were
TOP 335
BOT 314
High Conviction Long Term Trades Print MoneyPuts on XLE for me is a very high conviction long term investment. When you make one of these, it's good to have a reason for why you are doing it, so that you stick with it and the market doesn't shake you out with a little swing. So write yourself a few reasons *why* you are taking the trade.
1) I want to hedge my portfolio from more downside risks
2) Insider traders are selling this XLE stock at an ATH, and every single time they have ever sold it even almost this much, it crashed substantially
3) Commodities are a bad investment because they only go down over the long term. The market overestimates the importance of these short term supply chain issues and underestimates the capacity for free markets to solve problems over time.
4) Jim Cramer said to buy XLE, which is historically a very good indicator that it will crash down.
5) Just from the chart alone, we can see that *every* rally this asset has ever had, has always been faded. Don't tell me that this time is different, because that is what they said when they bought ARKK at $130 each before watching it bleed to death on high inflation and rate hikes.
6) The elliot wave structure of the XLE bubble seems to be peaking out
7) I see several retail traders pretending that XLE is a "safe" hedge for their portfolio. I don't think that retail seems to realize that XLE actually has historically maintained a VERY tight correlation with the stock market almost always, and that when the SPX and other major stocks start to crash this will absolutely bleed over into the energy sector.
If you have enough conviction, it's good to take a bet on it. Bet on your beliefs! Bet against me if you must, but at least have some damn conviction and don't capitulate at the first sign of weakness. Thanks for playing.
Weekly Prediction 9-13 May XLEXLE Energy Sector
9 - 13 May
The weekly VXXLE> Volatility Index for XLE Energy Sector
Implied = 38.6
In this we have to standard it for weekly session
38.6 / sqrt(52-> 52 weeks in a year) = 5.35%
My historical product is telling me with 1.2x coficient that the expected movement for this week
E Volatility = 38.93 / sqrt(52) = 5.4%
With this data, from my calculations, when EV > VIX, there were a 82.7% chance that the market
stay within the bottom and top created with the ranged from the E Vol
So for next week this range for us is going to be
TOP - 87.4
BOT - 78.5
Jim Cramer Says: Buy Energy Stocks! Jim Cramer got paid by OPEC to tell retail traders to buy energy stocks. Everyone knows that COMMODITIES ONLY GO DOWN. Energy stocks which produce commodities are in a bubble, and their prices are utterly absurd. Buying puts at market open.
Thanks for playing. I'm short on Cramer.
*yEs. I am aware wave 4 overlaps. It's a wick, not a close. So I don't care. Thanks.

Is Energy Losing its Mojo?Energy stocks have led the market all year, but now there are potential signs of fatigue.
This chart shows the tight ascending pattern in the SPDR Energy ETF along with its 2018 high of $79.42. Prices attempted to move through the level this week but failed to hold. Was it a failed breakout?
Next, consider the candles above $79.42: two dojis followed by a large bearish outside day. That may be viewed as a reversal pattern. MACD has also been falling.
Third, yesterday's drop (the sharpest decline in five weeks) landed prices at the trendline that’s been support all year. Any follow-through could break the trend and trigger profit taking.
Finally, geopolitics have favored energy. But changes in the global situation could change that environment – especially with the Federal Reserve increasingly committed to slowing inflation. When lots of “good news” is priced in, it can also increase the risk of a pullback.

Energy Sector (XLE) breakout ?The Energy Sector ETF had been in a bull run since 4Q2021, and March was the month it stalled. Instead of breaking down, it appeared to be coiling for a launch, and this week looks like it launched a breakout of the triangle it is trapped within.
Crude oil broke above USD100 this week, and this supports the XLE imminent rally, roughly expected for at least another 10%.
Technicals RPM and MACD are turning up again...
XLE (Long energy)Conditions: Trend following trade. Energy is on fire.
Entry: Market (7/04)
Stop: 10%.
Target: Let it ride, buy the dips.
---
Current (general) preferred entry ticker conditions and entry signals are either.
a) Reversion to mean from overextension, providing there has been evident support from historical price action and/or a bullish / bearish pintail or rejection evident by an engulfing candle immediately after the supposed support/rejection.
b) Oscillators (Daily/Weekly Stoch as well as the Average Sentiment Oscillator) all providing confluence with a trend line / support level .
Maintain 2:1 RR, use retracements as much as possible. If over extended and sufficient confluence and I'm at my computer, consider a market order.
Establish confluence of support/resistance , trend, oscillators, congruent candles (pintail or engulfing reversal).
Ascending Triangle in the XLEThe Macro trends of 2022 are no secret to any of us. Sky rocketing inflation and the war in Ukraine have lead to soaring energy costs around the world. As a result, Oil has seen a period of extreme volatility, reaching a high of closing high price of 129.44 on March 8th. As a result, the XLE has followed suit and is up about +30% year to date. Exxon, the largest holding in the XLE, reports earnings on April 29th and has expressed that the anticipate setting record profits. Buy the rumor?
The XLE appears to be forming a nice Ascending Triangle, which could be suggesting a bullish continuation. The Ascending Triangle isn't a particularly strong pattern from a statistical perspective with only about a 60% chance of realizing the bullish continuation. Take it with a big grain of salt, but there is also a very slight Hidden Bullish Divergence on the MACD. Nevertheless, it warrants paying attention to as a potential swing trade.
A lot will depend on what Oil does, and the fact that XOM and CVX are reporting earnings on the 29th muddies the waters a bit. However, it could offer a nice opportunity for a shot in the dark trade to the upside looking for a pop the upside in advance of the earnings. Maybe something like an OTM Call spread around the .30 delta in XLE 30 days out or so...
