Energy printing fresh highs within weeks
Here's a better chart than the one shared in October, showing that energy has been consolidating above an upward sloping triangle formation, over 900 days in the making.
With just under 4% remaining to reach prior highs set in April, fresh highs could be just weeks away. Looking at the height of the triangle to project potential gains, there could be a whopping 30% upside ahead.
Lately I've stepped back to ponder the fundamental underpinnings of this move. During the same period, the price of oil has cratered by 40%.
Charting XLE/BRENT shows an astonishing double during the bullish XLE triangle formation

One theory is XLE companies have taken market share to account for the decline in prices.
Two questions remain:

Two questions remain:
- would oil prices in the $40's be enough to tank XLE shares?
- if XLE can hold historic value during a deeper oil price decline, where could its valuation be headed during the next bull cycle in oil?
