Yesterday, on May 17th, the CVX price grew astonishingly to retest the falling channel breakout and failed to sustain the bullish momentum. The bullish failure led to a long-wick candle formation reflecting a formidable selling pressure in play.
Coming to the pivot points (orange horizontal bars), the support levels below the psychological barrier are at $9.70 and $6.75. On the opposite end, the resistance levels are $14.50 and $19.
The downtrend in the RSI slope (blue line) oozes above the oversold boundary, with the 14-day SMA (yellow line) providing dynamic resistance to maintain the downtrend. Furthermore, the DI lines avoid a bullish crossover as the higher price rejection kills the bullish momentum, with the ADX falling back under.
Hence, the technical momentum indicators project a stronger bearish side as the CVX sellers increase pressure.
If the sellers overtake trend control to restart the downfall, the mentioned support levels will provide bullish reversal launchpads. However, if buyers manage to surpass $14.50, CVX prices will return to $19.
Support Levels: $9.70 and $6.75
Resistance Levels: $14.5 and $19
