Q3 earnings optimism rises as asset sales and new projects reshape outlook

Chevron is set to report its quarterly earnings on October 30, with 24/7 Wall St. noting market expectations for a 164% year-over-year jump in Q3 EPS. During the week, the company finalized a deal to exit its Hess Midstream and DJ Basin crude assets, locking in $200 million but taking a one-time after-tax loss of $3 billion to $4 billion, according to Yahoo Finance and The Motley Fool. Chevron also pursued new upstream projects in Iraq and Argentina, supporting the ongoing restructuring effort (source: Simply Wall St).

Overbought momentum signals caution after robust weekly rally and resistance test

The daily chart shows Chevron pinned to weekly resistance at $233.72, coming off a volatile week with 5.46% range. Momentum is robust but overextended, with RSI at 77.14 and Stochastic RSI at 100, both in the overbought zone. Bull/Bear Power also flags the stock as overbought, suggesting buying pressure is stretched. Immediate support sits at $221.63, bolstered further by the Ichimoku Kijun at $217.29, while the upward momentum remains characterized as an emerging move higher that is not yet confirmed.

Bullish breakout risk builds for next week as key resistance comes into play

In the week ahead, Chevron is expected to trade between $227.86 and $238.67. There is a 79% probability of an increase and a 21% chance of a decrease. The base case is continued holding or choppy trade within the range, with momentum gathering above $233.72 resistance potentially targeting $238.67. A reversal below $221.63 would open the way for a deeper retrace toward the Ichimoku Kijun at $217.29.

Sholanke Dele, market strategist, believes Chevron stock is showing strong but overextended momentum after a week capped by news of asset sales and a major expected jump in Q3 EPS. Technicals paint a stretched setup, with RSI at 77.14 and Stochastic RSI at 100 — firmly in overbought territory. Dele notes deals to exit Hess Midstream and DJ Basin crude assets as a forward-looking move, but the one-time $3 billion to $4 billion loss adds to the fundamental risk. He remains cautious into the coming week, with support at $221.63 and a key reversal level at the Ichimoku Kijun of $217.29. "Until Chevron shares build structure above $233.72, I see risk of choppy action or a pullback as momentum cools off."

Earlier, analysts noted that Chevron’s long track record of consistent dividends and international growth prospects made it a favored pick for income-focused investors seeking resilience in volatile markets. With key technical indicators now signaling an overbought condition ahead of earnings, traders should watch for potential shifts in momentum at the $233.72 weekly resistance, as a breakout or reversal from this level may define Chevron’s next move.
