At yesterday's close, Diamondback Energy triggered a bullish signal above the zero line on the daily MACD chart, with a trading volume of approximately $359 million, maintaining active trading in the oil and gas exploration and production sector. Alongside Devon Energy and Halliburton in the same sector, it also triggered a bullish signal, forming a rare sector-level technical resonance, which typically indicates that the overall mid-term buying power in the energy sector is systematically recovering. After confirming the bullish signal above the MACD zero line, the upward momentum of the short-term trend is expected to continue. On the news front, reports of NATO considering intervention to escort in the Strait of Hormuz continue to gain traction, making global crude oil supply security a market focus. Diamondback Energy focuses on shale oil and gas development in the Permian Basin in the United States, and as a representative enterprise of high-quality production areas in North America, its production growth prospects and asset quality are being re-evaluated by the market in an environment of rising uncertainty on the global supply side. Additionally, Exxon Mobil rose 1.28% yesterday, and Chevron increased by 1.50%, with the collective strength of the energy sector leaders providing strong sector support for Diamondback Energy's upward movement. The energy index ETF overall rose by 1.17%, indicating a clear trend of capital flowing back into energy stocks. From a technical perspective, Diamondback Energy and several other stocks in the sector triggered MACD bullish signals simultaneously, significantly enhancing the reference value of the technical resonance effect. Although the trading volume is not as high as that of sector giants, it remains above $350 million, with decent volume support

- Diamondback Energy triggered a bullish signal above the zero line on the daily MACD chart, with a trading volume of approximately $359 million, reflecting active trading in the oil and gas exploration and production sector.  
- The alignment of bullish signals in the sector, including Devon Energy and Halliburton, suggests a systematic rebound in mid-term buying power across the energy sector amid rising global supply uncertainties.  
- Market focus remains on oil supply security, while a recent increase in energy stocks indicates a clear trend of capital inflow, although investors should be cautious of high volatility and potential price corrections.

Yesterday's close saw Devon Energy trigger a bullish signal above the zero line on the daily MACD chart, with a trading volume of approximately $605 million, ranking high in trading activity within the oil and gas exploration and production sector. This technical signal coincides with a general strengthening of the energy sector—Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE) rose 1.17% yesterday, indicating a clear return of funds to energy stocks. The confirmation of a bullish MACD above the zero line typically suggests that the medium-term trend has shifted from a recovery phase to an acceleration phase, with increased buying activity. On the news front, NATO has been reported to consider intervening to escort vessels in the Strait of Hormuz; if the strait does not resume navigation before July, they may take action to protect commercial ships. This geopolitical dynamic directly relates to the safety of global oil transportation, and market concerns over supply disruptions have raised oil price expectations. For companies like Devon Energy, which primarily focus on North American shale oil and gas, rising oil prices will directly boost their revenue and cash flow expectations. Additionally, Exxon Mobil rose 1.28% yesterday, and Chevron increased by 1.50%, with the collective strength of leading companies in the energy sector providing a "endorsement" for Devon Energy's bullish signal at the sector level. From a technical perspective, the bullish signal of Devon Energy's MACD above the zero line, combined with the overall strengthening of the sector, has formed a favorable technical resonance pattern. Trading volume remains at the $600 million level, indicating ample liquidity. Today, attention should be paid to the pre-market movements of crude oil futures; if international oil prices continue to rise, Devon Energy's short-term bullish momentum is expected to be further released

- Devon Energy triggered a bullish signal above the zero line in the MACD chart, with trading volume around $605 million, indicating strong investor interest amid a rising energy sector.  
- This technical signal coincides with a 1.17% increase in the Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLE), as NATO considers intervention in the Strait of Hormuz, potentially affecting global oil transport safety.  
- Higher oil prices could boost revenue and cash flow expectations for companies like Devon Energy, though volatility in energy stocks remains linked to oil price fluctuations and geopolitical developments.

The 30-year Treasury yield briefly topped 5.19%, its highest level in nearly 19 years, while the 10-year hit 4.687%, the highest since January 2025. The bond selloff was the dominant force: rising long-end yields are repricing risk assets across the board, and no sector was spared.

- The S&P 500, Nasdaq, and Dow experienced declines amid a bond selloff and rising Treasury yields, with the S&P facing its third straight losing session.  
- Key earnings reports and investor sentiment surrounding Nvidia's upcoming results are critical, especially in light of increasing long-end yields impacting growth stocks.  
- Expectations are high for Nvidia to deliver robust earnings, as a disappointing report could exacerbate market losses, particularly in the tech sector.
