    you can target cvx at 107.56 the tl and that small nip but instead of covering just lower your stop and try to ride it to 5.60,add these into your s/r ,you will see reasons why it goes thru tl's or comes up short..the premise is that more trades took place at 5.60 than 7.50 and the buyers at 7.50 may be fewer and only give a brief stop or bounce...chevron would be harder to trade due to swings in cl

    cl is hinging on the same points and a break below 06 could get that 4.33, it doesnt work as accurately with mp due to its thin volume

    heres an example of a tl gettiing broken to reach an mp target that would make you hesitate to short it when it retouched,but using the mp you would have double confirmation of resistance...hasn't broken thru yet
