VLO Valero Energy Corporation
Valero Energy Corporation (VLO) trend channel, buy level and 3-month target on Trade The Path. Sector: Energy. Listed on NYSE. Levels below are fitted to this ticker's own swing highs and lows (Theil–Sen, log-price), then projected 3 months. If this ticker has no settled sample yet, treat the numbers as a geometric read, not a track record. Information only, not financial advice.
Broken out above, rising on both timeframes
Price has closed above the channel. The fitted trend may no longer describe this stock.
The next few months are read from the last 12 months, not the last 18 months: that channel fits this stock's recent turns at least as well (64% against 54%) and it is the one price is respecting now. The last 18 months stay as context: rising, more than +100% a year. Price is above both fitted ceilings, so there is no line overhead to break — and no fitted resistance to price the target against either. What would overturn this: a close below US$318.37 — the floor of the channel being read — after which the trend, not the entry, is what was wrong.
