$VLO

$VLO followed through nicely after the setup we highlighted five days ago. 

Price had pulled back to retest the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders pattern, which held firmly—signaling strong support. 

We then printed an inside range candle, indicating consolidation and buyer-seller equilibrium, often seen before a pivot. That was followed by a bullish continuation candle, which confirmed the pivot and pushed into the upper boundary of the bull flag. 

Last Wednesday, we broke above flag resistance with solid momentum, and Thursday gave us bullish follow-through. 

Traders who entered at the pivot off the neckline retest captured a clean X% move, showing how technical patterns and proper confirmation can offer high-probability entries when aligned with price structure and momentum.
