- 2 min read
Asset: Chevron Corporation (CVX)
Asset Type: Equity — Integrated Energy (Oil & Gas Major)
Timeframe: Monthly (primary trend & cycle confirmation)
Vehicle Role: Equities Engine — cash-flow compounder, inflation hedge, late-cycle beneficiary
Fund Mandate: Defensive growth + dividend durability within long-only rotation
Issue: January 04, 2026
1. Market Regime & Quant Score
Market Regime: Late-stage consolidation within secular uptrend
Total Quant Regime Score: 72 / 100
Fear / Greed State: Neutral → Mild Greed
Interpretation: CVX is consolidating just below the 100% Fib resistance (~165–166) after a strong multi-year advance. Structure remains intact above rising long-term MAs, but momentum is capped near supply. This aligns with MCC-style “great business, wait for price” logic.
2. MCC Portfolio Context
Engine Role: Core Equities Engine stabilizer
Cycle Logic: Energy performs well in late-cycle / inflationary regimes (MCC commodity cycle, MCC risk resource phase)
Rotation Use:
Accumulate on pullbacks into buy zones
Trim near extensions → recycle capital into gold or private credit
3. BUY SCENARIO — Long-Only Accumulation
Primary Buy Zone:
$130–128 (61.8% Fib + structural support)
Stronger defensive accumulation: $117–105 (50%–38.2%)
Justification:
Price repeatedly defended support zone
Long-term trend intact
Strong FCF + dividend moat (productive asset per Buffett)
Intrinsic / Fair Value (Conservative):
Fair Value Range: $155–165
Upside intrinsic (cycle expansion): $190–227 (127%–161.8% Fib)
Example Allocation (Equities Engine):
Core position: 3–4% of capital
Add 1% tranches on dips into $130–128
4. SELL / RISK-OFF SCENARIO (NO SHORTS)
Trim Zones:
$165–170 (100% Fib / heavy supply)
Aggressive trim: $190+ if momentum accelerates
Purpose: De-risk extended gains without exiting core exposure.
Capital Rotation:
Private credit (yield compounding)
Gold engine (macro hedge)
5. Cycle-Based ROI Bands
Bear / Pullback: -15% to -20% (mean reversion to $130)
Base Case: +8% to +15% (range resolution)
Bull Case: +25% to +40% (extension toward $190–227)
6. Risk Profile
Volatility: Low–moderate
Drawdown Risk: Controlled (<20% historically in trend)
Trend Strength: Moderate (range-bound but higher-lows intact)
Success Probability: ~60–65%
Total Risk Score: 75 / 100 (high quality, cyclical exposure)
7. MCC Quant Rules Applied
Equities engine anchor
Cash-flow durability > narrative growth
Buy pullbacks, trim resistance
No leverage, no shorting
8. Strategic Interpretation (MCC Risk Mandate)
If price revisits $130–128 with support → Accumulate
If price breaks and holds above $166 → Hold / partial trim into strength
If price loses $128 on monthly close → Reduce exposure and rotate defensively
9. One-Liner
#CVX remains a high-quality energy compounder best accumulated on pullbacks into $130–128, with trims near $165+ as part of a disciplined MCC cycle rotation. #ManhattanCrypto
