OBV Z 1.96 Inflow, Blowoff Volume at 98.7% CeilingValero Energy CorporationBATS:VLOstingrayeaVLO is a stock-only instrument with no futures market on this feed and no spot-to-futures ratio to assess. Dollar volume at 1.15B. Price at 98.7% of its annual range, tagged Ceiling, with the annual high at 255.97 sitting one dollar above current price. Like XOM, this is an energy refiner holding near annual highs while the broader market sells off — relative strength in a risk-off session. 50 of 112 signals green, 8 red. Extreme BULL at 89.62% conviction, 18.27x. EMA 13 green zero red — full sweep. Candle 12 green 2 red. Ichi TK 10 green 3 red. C>T 12 green 2 red. SS/DD 8 to 0 — no supply resistance in the structure. Spread 89.6% Extreme. No squeeze active. Momentum Bull up with bandwidth 18.12% Normal — tight, energy not released. Bull Cascade 2 at 4 bars. Retrace -0.6% Extreme BO, bounce 30.7% at 47.6x Para. 5-Bar Move 6%. Pattern total 3 green 1 red. Signal stack quality sits just below XOM and USO but in the same tier. Spot Z at 0.75, active. No futures on this feed. VolZ 1:5 reads 0.75 current, 9.48 peak, -8.73 deceleration with single up arrow — the largest VolZ peak deceleration in today's entire scan. Volume spiked to 9.48 sigma during the breakout and has bled all the way back to 0.75. Spot momentum tagged Blowoff at 274.3% expanding. Bull:Bear Z 1.65 to -0.69, Bull Lean — institutional buying confirmed but not dominant. Dollar volume at 1.15B is lighter than XOM's 5.19B, which matters when comparing the two energy names. No leverage, no percentile, no all-time max or min. Price at 98.7% Ceiling. Hi/Lo 255.97 to 130.78. VLO has nearly doubled from its annual low and is one dollar below the high with a Blowoff momentum tag and a VolZ that peaked at 9.48 and is now at 0.75. OBV Z at 1.96 inflow is the key read on this chart. Positive and directional, confirming accumulation is still in progress despite the VolZ deceleration. Bull:Bear Z at 1.65 Bull Lean adds directional weight. The divergence between OBV inflow at 1.96 and the Blowoff momentum tag is the central tension — accumulation is ongoing but the price velocity that drove the 6% five-bar move has reached exhaustion levels. The honest read: VLO and XOM are the two energy names in today's scan both holding annual highs while the DOW breaks and VIX coils. That macro positioning is the most important signal — energy is being used as an inflation hedge and safe-haven rotation in real time. VLO's specific risk is the VolZ deceleration from 9.48 to 0.75 with a Blowoff tag — the volume engine that drove this move was extreme and has largely exhausted. OBV inflow at 1.96 says smart money is still accumulating, but the Blowoff signature means momentum-driven buyers are exiting. At 98.7% of range one dollar below the annual high, this is a hold for existing positions and a wait for new entries. A consolidation bar holding above the prior BOS with OBV Z above 1.5 is the re-entry signal. A close below the demand line visible at the base resets the entire setup. Is That Crypto Pump Real?
