Current trend

Shares of ExxonMobil Corp., an American oil company, have been growing for the fourth month in a row: during this time, the price reversed around from 96.88 (Murrey level [-1/8]), returned to the main Murrey trading range, moved into its positive part and tested the level of 212.88 (Murrey level [7/8]); however, it failed to consolidate above it and adjusted to the reversal mark of 118.75 (Murrey level [6/8]), supported by the central line of Bollinger Bands. Consolidating below it will allow quotes to develop a decline towards the targets of 112.50 (Murrey level [4/8]) and 106.25 (Murrey level [2/8]), however, such a scenario seems less likely.

Technical indicators indicate the continuation of the uptrend: Bollinger Bands are directed upwards, Stochastic is reversing up from the oversold zone, while MACD is declining, but remains in the positive zone. Under these conditions, it is more likely that the quotes will resume rising to 125.00 (Murrey level [8/8]) and 131.25 (Murrey level [ 2/8]).
