Highlights

MPC sustains a strong uptrend, trading near record highs with immediate support at 256 and resistance at 272.
Mixed short-term momentum signals suggest consolidation, but medium- and long-term readings heavily favor continued upside movement.
Baseline projection is for MPC to oscillate between 259 and 274 this week, with over 80% probability of further gains barring a break below 256.

Sustained uptrend as price holds above key moving averages

MPC is trading at $263.28, firmly above the MA-20 ($256.32), MA-50 ($243.38), and MA-200 ($204.57), confirming a sustained uptrend on the short, medium, and long-term outlooks. The Ichimoku Kijun on D1 sits at $253.30, serving as immediate support; nearest supports are at the MA-20 ($256.32) and MA-50 ($243.38), while resistance clusters near $264.12 (MA-5/MA-10 region) with a key level at $272.46 (52-week high).

Divided momentum signals with consolidation following recent gains

Momentum signals remain mixed, with MACD on D1 flashing a strong buy but ADX at 23.29 only modestly confirms trend strength. RSI on D1 is neutral-bullish at 53.99, yet Stoch RSI and HMA point to near-term selling pressure, with BBP on D1 in overbought territory indicating recent buyer dominance. CCI and AO read neutral, underscoring the divided momentum picture. MPC has risen $1.27 (0.48%) over the past week, trading at $263.28 up from a previous weekly close of $262.01. The price is positioned in the middle of the weekly range with weekly volatility at 5.75%, reflecting a consolidation tone. In today’s session, the stock surged 1.99%, adding to recent buyer momentum.

Bullish bias as weekly technicals favor further upside

The expected price range for MPC over the coming week is $259 to $274, which is anchored near current levels and stays well within the annual window between $158 and $272. Based on W1 readings — all bullish across MA-50, RSI, ADX, and MACD — there is a very high probability (more than 80%) of a price increase, making further upside substantially more likely than a reversal. The baseline scenario is for MPC to trade sideways between key support at $256 and resistance near $272. A bullish scenario would see a sustained breakout above $272, targeting further highs as long-term momentum stays intact. Conversely, a bearish scenario would materialize only if the stock falls below $256, exposing it to deeper retracement toward the MA-50 level.
