The case
● Bull — what supports it
Above both MAs, +13.4% 3m, most diesel-levered large-cap refiner capturing both gasoline and diesel cracks simultaneously at near-record spreads.
● Bear — what refutes it
RSI 62, 3.5% ATR, extended into peak-crack euphoria; pure refiner with maximum margin-reversion downside; ADX 19 = no durable trend yet.
What would change our mind
Drake commits in advance to what would prove this call wrong — falsifiers, not hindsight.
- Diesel crack rolling over from ~$65.
