Our technical indicator scanner analyses hundreds of S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 stocks daily, weighing a broad set of momentum, trend and oscillator signals to surface the most compelling setups. For 21 July 2026, five names stand out with notably high bull signal counts and minimal bear readings. Here is what the scanner is telling us today.
1. ConocoPhillips (COP) – 14 technical buy signals
Price: $115.68 (+0.85%)
View the full technical analysis of ConocoPhillips
ConocoPhillips scores an impressive 14 bull signals against just 1 bear signal, placing it at the top of today’s scan. The stock gained 0.85% on the session, building on what has been a constructive run for the independent exploration and production giant. Technically, the breadth of positive signals across multiple timeframes and indicator categories suggests sustained buying pressure rather than a short-term spike.
On the fundamental side, recent newsflow has been supportive. The company agreed to acquire a 42% stake in BP’s Kirkuk oil fields in Iraq, a significant strategic move that expands its international production base. Earlier in July, it also signed an agreement to help revive gas output in Syria, underscoring an active international growth strategy. These developments have attracted attention from analysts who continue to view the stock as one of the more attractively valued names in the energy sector.
While Truist trimmed its price target following second-quarter results, the broader analyst community remains constructive, with Wall Street consensus pointing to meaningful upside potential from current levels. For investors with energy exposure on their radar, COP’s technical setup today is difficult to overlook.
2. T-Mobile US (TMUS) – 14 technical buy signals
Price: $195.64 (+1.67%)
View the full technical analysis of T-Mobile US
T-Mobile US matches ConocoPhillips with 14 bull signals and only 1 bear signal, but its daily gain of 1.67% makes it the strongest price performer in today’s top five. The stock has navigated a somewhat turbulent period for the telecoms sector, yet its technical picture has continued to firm up, suggesting that underlying demand for the shares remains robust.
The bankruptcy filing by Dish Wireless has been interpreted by some analysts as a net positive for T-Mobile, removing a potential competitor from the prepaid wireless landscape and potentially freeing up spectrum assets. One valuation analysis circulating in the market suggests the stock may be trading at a significant discount to its intrinsic worth, a view that appears to be gaining traction among institutional buyers.
Concerns earlier in the summer around Starlink as a competitive threat were largely dismissed by Bank of America analysts, who argued the sell-off in telecoms was overdone. With T-Mobile also expanding its domestic workforce substantially by 2027, the operational narrative is one of growth and consolidation. The combination of improving sentiment and strong technical breadth makes TMUS one of the more interesting setups on the scan today.
3. Chevron Corporation (CVX) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $189.71 (+1.24%)
View the full technical analysis of Chevron Corporation
Chevron enters the top three with 13 bull signals and just 1 bear signal, adding 1.24% on the day. The integrated oil major is one of the sector’s most recognisable dividend payers, and its inclusion in hedge fund portfolios as a preferred blue-chip holding reflects its combination of yield and balance sheet strength. Technically, the signal count indicates broad-based momentum across trend-following and oscillator-based indicators.
Recent catalysts have been varied. Disruption headlines relating to the Strait of Hormuz gave energy stocks an additional boost earlier in the month, and Chevron’s premarket gains on that news underlined how sensitive the stock remains to geopolitical supply dynamics. The company has also been making strategic moves in the technology space, working with Texas Pacific Land on water resources for data centre projects, an area of growing interest for the energy sector.
On the operational front, Chevron has been sharing proprietary chemical technology with rival drillers to improve shale oil extraction efficiency, a move that reflects confidence in its own technological edge. With an annual dividend yield of around 4.2% cited in recent analyst commentary, CVX continues to attract income-oriented investors alongside those seeking energy sector momentum.
4. EOG Resources (EOG) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $141.09 (+0.86%)
View the full technical analysis of EOG Resources
EOG Resources registers 13 bull signals against 2 bear signals, making it the only name in today’s top five with a slightly higher bear reading. Nevertheless, the overall technical picture remains firmly positive, and the stock’s 0.86% gain on the day reflects continued buying interest. EOG has long been regarded as one of the more disciplined operators in the US shale sector, and that reputation for capital efficiency continues to attract investors.
From a valuation perspective, several analysts have recently highlighted that EOG’s shares appear to trade below their fair value, a view supported by a strong five-year total return track record. Jefferies raised its price target on the stock earlier this month, citing the company’s operational strengths, while Morgan Stanley maintained an equal weight rating, pointing to a more cautious near-term view on the broader sector.
One point of note is that EOG was removed from the Russell 1000 Dynamic Index in late June, a development that attracted commentary about the company’s capital allocation philosophy. Some observers viewed the exit as consistent with EOG’s disciplined, returns-focused approach rather than as a negative signal. With a dividend yield of approximately 3.1% and a strong long-term performance record, EOG remains a closely watched name among energy sector followers.
5. ExxonMobil (XOM) – 13 technical buy signals
Price: $148.36 (+0.68%)
View the full technical analysis of ExxonMobil
ExxonMobil rounds out today’s top five with 13 bull signals and 1 bear signal. The stock posted a more modest gain of 0.68% on the session, but the technical breadth remains solidly positive. The company, which recently redomiciled to Texas and now trades under the updated name ExxonMobil Holdings Corp., has continued to attract institutional interest despite a period of oil price volatility.
Analysis published in mid-July noted that despite crude oil prices falling sharply over the preceding month, ExxonMobil’s premium market valuation has held up, a reflection of confidence in its cash flow generation capacity and diversified business model. The company’s ability to sustain robust free cash flow across a range of commodity price environments has been a central theme in recent research coverage.
Comparisons with Chevron have been a recurring topic among energy sector analysts, with both stocks viewed as core holdings for investors seeking exposure to large-cap, dividend-paying integrated oils. Zacks Research also highlighted ExxonMobil in a recent round-up of top analyst reports alongside other major S&P 500 names. For investors monitoring the energy sector, XOM’s consistent technical signal strength and operational scale make it a name worth tracking closely.
