VLO has an excellent technical rating and also presents a decent setup pattern. We see reduced volatility while prices have been consolidating in the most recent period. There is a resistance zone just above the current price starting at 113.0. Right above this resistance zone may be a good entry point. There is a support zone below the current price at 108.98, a Stop Loss order could be placed below this zone.
For a potential trade one would typically wait until the stock breaks out of the consolidation zone to enter the stock and it could be sold again for a loss when it would fall back below the zone.
