Energy's Short Squeeze Setup 📈 The Chart Report

Chart of the Day   

🏆 Today's Chart of the Day was shared by SubuTrade.

Following its massive breakout, short interest in the Energy sector (XLE) has climbed to its highest levels since 2008.

When short interest has reached prior extremes, its often preceded multi-year advances and a sustained short squeeze. 

This only adds fuel to the fire as XLE is already up roughly +38% this year, and is extremely close to having its best quarter in history.

The Takeaway: A record quarter and elevated short interest suggest this move in Energy may be far from over.
