Despite being up almost 18% since April, Exxon Mobil stock (XOM) has seen a lot of ups and downs in 2025.
Although XOM has been in an overall uptrend since the spring, Scott Bauer says there’s been a “sell the rally” trend—not just in Exxon Mobil stock—but in the broader oil space.
Scott featured Exxon Mobil stock as one of his Big 3 trade examples on the Schwab Network earlier this week.
Scott shared his thoughts on XOM, and the bearish “sell the rally” pattern he noticed—which helped him map out an example trade for Exxon Mobil stock that was up 50% premarket yesterday.
