There were no S&P 500 earnings reactions on Monday, but energy stole the show. Here's a name that has our attention right now.
Suncor Energy $SU is one of the world's largest integrated oil and gas companies, with operations spanning the entire energy value chain.
They produce oil from Canada’s oil sands, upgrade and refine it in-house, and then sell refined products through one of the most extensive downstream and retail networks in North America.
That integrated model matters because it gives the company a level of cash-flow stability and operational leverage that most pure-play producers simply don’t have, especially when volatility hits the energy complex.
That’s precisely why the market has been warming back up to this name.
Over the weekend, Venezuela-related headlines reignited interest in energy equities, but Suncor had already begun positioning before the news broke.
Fundamentally, they have been executing at a very high level.
In its most recent quarter, the company delivered better-than-expected top- and bottom-line results, generated billions in free cash flow, returned significant capital to shareholders through dividends and buybacks, and continued to push record production and refinery utilization.
This is what operational excellence looks like in an integrated energy business, and investors are clearly taking notice.
You can see that shift most clearly in the earnings reaction data.
Last quarter, Suncor posted its best post-earnings reaction since 2021, rallying more than 4.5% on the heels of its earnings event.
The rally snapped a three-quarter beatdown streak where the stock had been punished repeatedly despite solid execution.
When a stock stops declining on earnings and starts rising instead, that’s often the earliest signal that expectations have finally reset and sentiment is turning.
In Suncor’s case, the market heard the message loud and clear.
Now layer that improving fundamental and sentiment backdrop on top of the long-term chart.
SU has spent more than a decade carving out a massive, multi-decade base. It has worn investors out, but we believe those who have been patient are about to be rewarded.
From a technical perspective, this is a textbook bearish-to-bullish reversal pattern. A breakout from this range would mark a decisive shift in the primary trend and open the door to much higher prices.
This is what we mean by fusion analysis.
Fundamentals are improving, earnings reactions confirm the market likes what management is doing, and technicals are aligning at a critical inflection point.
Suncor isn’t just reacting to headlines; it’s emerging as a structurally stronger energy stock at a moment when the broader energy tape is waking back up.
Happy Technical Tuesday!

P.S. We bought Chevron $CVX 3/20 $165 calls for $2.10 Friday afternoon.
On Monday morning, they hit the triple mark, spiking to $6.30, and we took some big gains.
That’s a 200% return in one trading day.
With plenty of time until expiration, there's a high likelihood they keep running.
This isn’t guesswork. Just structure, timing, and defined risk doing the heavy lifting.
With Breakout Multiplier, you get positioned before volatility expands, so you can take decisive action when it does, and move on to a new setup as the crowd rushes into an old one.
