Mixed momentum as short-term breakout faces major resistance
The MA-20 is currently at $19.12, with the price crossing above this short-term support, while both the MA-50 at $19.82 and MA-200 at $19.73 remain overhead as significant resistance levels. The Ichimoku Kijun stands at $19.35 and acts as immediate resistance. Among momentum indicators, MACD shows strong sell momentum and ADX signals a sell bias, reflecting bearish prevailing momentum. Both RSI and CCI indicate neutral conditions, while the Stoch RSI is in the overbought zone, suggesting a risk of short-term correction. Bull/Bear Power is slightly positive at 0.01, highlighting minor intraday buying pressure. The Awesome Oscillator remains neutral, providing no directional bias.
Downside risk grows as probability model favors weaker scenario
Over the next 2–3 sessions, ET is expected to trade within a $18.37–$19.89 volatility band. The probability model currently points to a 35% chance of an upward break versus a 65% likelihood of downside movement, making further weakness the more probable scenario. Sideways consolidation may persist if the price remains within this range, while a decisive move above $19.35 could trigger bullish momentum, and a failure to hold support may lead to renewed selling pressure.
Earlier, analysts noted that technical weakness and persistent selling pressure continued to dominate Energy Transfer’s price action despite supportive corporate measures. The latest data show that while short-term momentum has improved above the MA-20, the prevailing scenario remains biased to the downside, making the $19.35 resistance level critical for any potential bullish shift.
