| VLO Crosses Critical Technical IndicatorBy Energy Stock Channel Staff, Friday, April 28, 11:25 AM ET
In trading on Friday, shares of Valero Energy Corp (NYSE:VLO) entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $112.595 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. In the case of Valero Energy Corp, the RSI reading has hit 29.1 — by comparison, the universe of energy stocks covered by Energy Stock Channel currently has an average RSI of 47.5, the RSI of WTI Crude Oil is at 46.9, the RSI of Henry Hub Natural Gas is presently 54.6, and the 3-2-1 Crack Spread RSI is 21.3. A bullish investor could look at VLO's 29.1 reading as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Looking at a chart of one year performance (below), VLO's low point in its 52 week range is $96.93 per share, with $160.16 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $113.59. Valero Energy Corp shares are currently trading down about 0.9% on the day.
