Supply disruptions and M&A deals drive positive fundamentals amid selling pressure

On March 2, Chevron declared force majeure at the Leviathan gas field offshore Israel as required by a government-ordered production halt. In recent days, escalating conflict involving Iran and threats to Gulf energy infrastructure have disrupted supply chains, with crude oil benchmarks rising above $100 per barrel and contributing to favorable operating conditions for the company. Chevron has completed its acquisition of Hess, expanded activity across Guyana, Iraq, and Venezuela, and announced a dividend increase, with the next ex-dividend date set for February 17 and an annualized payout of $7.12. These developments have been accompanied by price action that has remained under broader selling pressure.

Momentum remains strong as near-overbought signals emerge across oscillators

CVX remains above its SMA-20, SMA-50, and SMA-200, consistent with a strong bullish structure. The Ichimoku Kijun level at $181.83 now acts as immediate support. Momentum remains firm — MACD signals a strong buy, and ADX confirms robust trend strength; however, several oscillators indicate stretched conditions with RSI at 65.48 (approaching overbought), CCI in overbought territory, and Stoch RSI signaling a sell. BBP highlights continued buyer dominance, while the Awesome Oscillator is neutral and daily trading has shown low volatility, with a narrow $2.60 range and price settling near today’s high.

Sideways to upward bias likely as volatility remains contained

Over the next five trading days, CVX is expected to trade within a typical volatility band of $184.50–$192.50 based on recent levels. Indicators such as RSI, ADX, MACD, and the MA-50 all support a strong probability (over 80%) of sustained upward or sideways movement. The baseline scenario is continued consolidation between $184.50 support and $192.50 resistance, with a clear move above $192.50 opening the way for further advances. A break below $184.50 would be required to signal a bearish turn, though this appears unlikely under current conditions.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees Chevron’s strong fundamentals and positive macro backdrop supporting further strength in the shares. The company benefits from resilient global demand, robust energy prices, and successful expansion moves. Technical momentum and continued investor confidence reinforce a constructive outlook. He believes consolidation above $184.50 sets a solid base. "As long as CVX stays above key support, I remain bullish and see a break above $192.50 as the next trigger for upside."

Previously it was reported that Chevron Corporation continues to demonstrate a strong bullish trend, with the current price solidly above major moving averages and key momentum indicators such as MACD and ADX reinforcing upward direction, despite overbought RSI and CCI readings. Immediate support is identified near $181.68, with resistance seen around $197.00, while the stock is expected to consolidate within this range as institutional inflows and elevated volatility persist.
