The Squeeze Watch (01/05/2026)

Welcome to The Squeeze Watch.

We’re very excited to present our Squeeze Engine, one of the main tools that powers the success of Breakout Multiplier.

News of the American intervention in Venezuela over the weekend sent a shock of volatility through the entire energy complex.

Today’s standout is poised to become one of the biggest beneficiaries of that move:

Chevron $CVX is currently exhibiting a Long-Term Squeeze Score of 96.2. 

Here’s what the chart looks like:

Chevron is coiled in a tight, multi-year range—a structural pattern defined by two key anchored VWAPs, one from the COVID low and the other from the all-time high.

Volatility on the Strazza Indicator has compressed near multi-year lows. We’ve already seen similar structural patterns resolve higher across the metals complex.

Now the energy complex appears to be gearing up to follow. Whether breakouts are event-driven or not, positioning to capture sharp, short-term moves using options allows you to ride longer waves more comfortably from a lower cost basis.

Today, we sold a triple in CVX at the open and plan to let the remainder of the position ride risk-free. From here, it is a free ride through March and the pattern hasn’t even resolved.

If you want access to our Squeeze Engine and our next energy trade, join Breakout Multiplier here, risk-free.
