Marathon Petroleum down 0.69% today

Highlights

MPC recently declined 7.8% over the past week, closing near the bottom of its weekly range amid increased selling pressure.
The stock trades below key short- and medium-term moving averages, with indicators showing oversold conditions and weak intraday momentum.
Expected consolidation lies between $238.00 and $248.00, with a bullish technical setup suggesting more than 80% probability of a near-term price rebound unless $238.00 support breaks.

Bearish bias below key moving averages as long-term trend stays intact

MPC is currently trading at $242.91, below its MA-20 at $256.63 and just under its MA-50 at $244.93, showing strong short- and medium-term pressure from sellers. The MA-200 at $206.97 remains well below the current price, which maintains a bullish long-term structure. The Ichimoku Kijun sits at $256.91, labeling this as immediate resistance. Near-term support is seen at MA-50 ($244.93) and key support appears at MA-100 ($229.05). Immediate resistance is marked by the Kijun ($256.91), with further key resistance at MA-20 ($256.63).

Sellers dominate as oversold signals diverge from moderate weekly pullback

Momentum on D1 is weak, as MACD gives a strong buy signal but ADX registers only gentle trend strength. RSI and CCI both point to mild oversold conditions (RSI at 42.77, CCI at –115.67), confirmed by deeply oversold Stoch RSI and BBP, indicating sellers dominate intraday momentum. The Awesome Oscillator is neutral and does not strongly influence the trend at this stage. Over the past week, MPC has fallen $20.67 (7.84%) from a prev_week_close of $263.58, and the current price is positioned at the very bottom of its weekly range. Weekly volatility stands at 9.66%. The week has seen a steady retreat from the highs, with technical momentum indicators on D1 slightly diverging from the pronounced weekly decline.

High upside probability as buy signals drive sideways consolidation

Looking ahead, the expected price range for MPC in the coming week is $238.00 to $248.00, reflecting typical volatility for this asset. This range remains well above the 52-week low of $158.00 and sits below the recent 52-week high of $272.46, anchoring the forecast within the yearly context. Based on the combination of weekly indicators—where three out of four (RSI-W1, ADX-W1, MACD-W1, MA-50-W1) are Buy—the probability of a price increase is very high (more than 80%), while further downside is less likely. The baseline scenario calls for sideways consolidation between $238.00 and $248.00. A bullish breakout above $248.00 could prompt a short-term rally toward $256.00, particularly if momentum recovers. Conversely, a break below $238.00 would expose downside risk toward the next support at $229.00.
