Chart of the Day - Thursday, December 4, 2025


🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by Scott Redler (@RedDogT3)
 

  • Energy ($XLE) has been the strongest sector over the trailing week, closing at its highest level since April as it attempts to fill the Liberation Day gap for a third time.
     
  • After surging off the Covid lows in 2020, Energy was the only sector that resisted the 2022 bear market, but it has chopped sideways during this three-year bull market.
     
  • Scott notes that Energy could be a major theme in the year ahead, with $XLE tightly coiled below the former  peaks from 2014/2024, near $100–$98. Clearing $100 would mark the completion of a decade-long base.
     

The Takeaway: Energy is setting the stage for a potential multi-year breakout, with $XLE tightly coiled below a decade-long resistance level.
