XOM Exxon Mobil Corporation
Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) 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. On this symbol, 9 comparable calls have settled; 55.6% reached the published sell target. Information only, not financial advice.
Mid-channel, rising on both timeframes
Price is between the two trend lines. Nothing to act on yet.
The next few months are read from the last 9 months, the stretch whose swings the lines actually follow, because the last 12 months alone do not contain enough turns to fit reliably (52% against 82%). The last 12 months stay as context: rising, +50% a year. The target of US$170.59 sits above the nearest ceiling (US$170.38, from the last 9 months), so reaching it means breaking a line this stock has repeatedly turned at. What would overturn this: a close below US$157.54 — the floor of the channel being read — after which the trend, not the entry, is what was wrong.

- Whose problem it was
- This company1 of 3 Oil & Gas Integrated peers fell with it
- Does it resolve?
- Temporary falls like it have resolved on the record
- Regained so far
- 85%of what it lost
- What the record says
- 91% of 840 comparable falls came back, typically in 61 days measured across every stock we hold history for, its peer group being too small
The trend broke in March 2026: price fell 20% from 170.27 to 136.03 by June 2026, and has regained 85% of that fall since. Its peers did not fall with it, so this was about the company rather than its sector. The wire that week: “Winner's Hedge — Big Oil Locks Profits Regardless Of Whether War Ends Tomorrow”. Falls like it have resolved: falls of about 20% here have come back to the old high 91% of the time (840 comparable falls), typically in 61 days. On that record the fall is treated as temporary, and the trend lines are fitted to the regime it created rather than through it.

Price sits between our buy level and our target.
The lines are drawn where this stock has actually turned: 4 touches on the ceiling, 4 on the floor, each fitted to the slope that catches the most of them. Buying one average daily range below its 50-day mean, on heavier volume than usual and while it is still above its 200-day mean, has come up 791 times; measured against the 6% floor — the least a call has to be worth to be worth making, not what it aims at — 73% cleared it, typically in 34 days, with price going about 5% against the entry along the way (63% in the worst case we have on record). Trades that have not reached the target within 3 months are counted as misses, whatever they are worth at the time. The prices above are this stock’s own — its average, its volatility — but the setup is the same one we apply everywhere: derived on eight unrelated tickers, then confirmed on 87 others it was never fitted to. We deliberately do not tune it to each stock: doing so scores worse on history the tuning never saw — 58% against 71% — because it fits the past rather than the future. On this stock the setup has come up 16 times so far, reaching target 81% of the time. The sell price comes from where this stock is projected to be, not from a minimum worth taking: the fitted path reaches 14% above the entry within 90 days, and of the sizes that path supports, 12% is the one that has returned the most per day of money tied up here — measured over the 12 times this entry has come up on this chart, reached 67% of the time, typically in 28 days. Smaller sizes got there sooner but paid less for the weeks they used; larger ones need a break above the projected ceiling, which is not the base case. The date published is whichever is later: that typical time, or the day the projected path itself reaches the price. It is a prediction, so it can be revised: if the run tops out before it gets there, the target is cut to what is actually on the table and you are told the same day. An ordinary pullback is not treated as topping out — those go on to make a new high about 8 times in 10, so they are ridden through. What triggers the revision is price closing below its 50-day trend and staying there, after which the odds of recovery fall to roughly 3 in 10.
On this stock's own history these rules produced 9 settled calls, of which 5 reached target (55.6%), with an average best move of 9.5%. See the full record.
