Live stock context for companies directly referenced in this story
Energy stocks entered the week with the XLE ETF's 14-day relative strength index above 70, a level some traders view as overbought. The reading comes as the second-quarter earnings season picks up, with several major energy companies scheduled to report.
The RSI signal alone does not guarantee a pullback. Overbought conditions can persist in strong uptrends. Traders said the key will be whether earnings reports justify the recent run-up in prices.
Exxon Mobil reports Friday, followed by Chevron next week. ConocoPhillips is due midweek. The group's collective results will test whether the sector's momentum has room to run or has already priced in the good news.
