Chapters

Everyone, we're watching XLE Energy, which got the largest print ever in 6 years, 15.8 million shares at $56.09. That's 887 million shares. We're below tens of millions of shares at the moment. We see here the largest trades in the last few months. We see this consolidation here, upthrust, adding to their position, pulling back, breaking below these prints, and another 15.8 million today. 1.7 million. So if we break above 60, then sky's the limit for energy. And if we break below 55, then we can probably come all the way down here to 50. Let's look at the top holdings of XLE. ExxonMobil, 23% of this, $9 billion. Chevron, ConocoPhillips, Schlumberger, Williams Brothers, EOG. VLO, Marathon, Phillips 66, and Kinder Morgan. Those are the top trades there. Watch the energy sector, this is going to be crazy.
