For those thinking we’re replacing oil any time soon… Think again. Everything is made of oil. Plastics, chemicals, food, asphalt, electricity, lubricants, jet fuel, clothing, toiletries, medical devices, home heating and much more. It’s irreplaceable. 🛢 #energy #crudeoil #oott

Looks to be the start of a major trend reversal for energy relative to the rest of the market. $XLE vs. $SPY

The industrial sector $XLI closed last week at its highest level in history. Starting to look like a parabolic uptrend. The most economically sensitive stocks seem to be painting a resilient economic picture.

S&P 500 futures $ES are breaking down after hours with ES completing this multi-month topping formation.

Energy stocks $XLE posted a beautiful monthly close. This 18-year consolidation finally looks to be breaking higher, which could mean more upside for energy stocks in 2026.

The materials sector $XLB is hitting new record highs today, in the midst of a multi-year base breakout.

Industrial automation company Honeywell $HON might be ready to push higher out of this 5-year ascending triangle pattern.

Steelmaker Nucor Corporation $NUE is setting up to breakout of this 4-year base.

Not the prettiest close today for Amazon $AMZN. If you zoom out a bit though, there’s a major year-long accumulation pattern that looks ready to breakout.

Construction materials company Builders FirstSource $BLDR put in a hell of a candle on Friday after Trump requested 200 billion in mortgage-backed securities purchases to try to lower mortgage rates. BLDR is coming off strong support on the weekly chart.

Energy stocks $XLE look ready to breakout on multiple timeframes. Weekly and monthly perspectives

Aerospace/defense stocks $ITA are hitting record highs relative to the broader industrial sector $XLI. ITA/XLI

Glass jar maker Ball Corporation $BALL is still working higher off this $45 level, which has acted as support since 2022.

Crude oil $CL reversed early losses and is still holding above this major support level, refusing to break down.

SPOT GOLD SET TO RISE OVER 64% IN 2025, ITS BEST YEAR SINCE 1979

Are you making the bet that Materials don't break out and resolve this consolidation higher?

@DisruptorStocks Merry Christmas brother! 🎅🏻

@RJB_Financial Oh hey Ross!!

Hotel stocks are breaking out to new record highs in the midst of holiday travel season. Marriott International $MAR Hilton Worldwide Holdings $HLT

Construction aggregate producer Knife River Corporation $KNF is back above a key level today.

Investment banks Goldman Sachs $GS and Morgan Stanley $MS are sitting at all-time highs and looking for their 8th consecutive positive monthly close.
