Stiff Resistance for Exxon
From a point and figure chart perspective, today's $1.00 recovery rally in Exxon (XOM) does not appear to be consequential, at least not yet. Heavy resistance starts at 78.50 and stretches up to 81.00, which will have to be hurdled on a print of 81.25 to trigger a significant near-term buy signal.
Barring a print of 78.75, the dominant downtrend will continue, with potential targets at 72.50 and then 70.00.
