PCOR Weekly Chart as of August 15, 2025 showing price holding above short-term MAs but capped below 200-MA resistance.

Weekly candlestick chart of Petron Corporation (PCOR) with moving averages and key support-resistance levels.

Panimula: Tiyaga at Pagtatasa sa Gitna ng Sideways na Galaw

Balikan natin ang PCOR—noong huling review (August 1, 2025), sinabi nating may early signs ng stabilization sa ₱2.45–2.50 zone pero wala pang malinaw na breakout. Ngayon, August 15, makikita na halos kapareho pa rin ang itsura—nakadikit sa 8/20/50-MA pero di pa rin makatawid sa 200-MA na nasa ₱2.98.

Tanong ngayon: ito na ba ang simula ng mas malawak na turnaround, o mananatili pa rin sa matagal na sideways consolidation?
