So, Sky Quarry Inc. (SKYQ) shares are taking a step back in Tuesday's pre-market session. This comes after a pretty wild Monday where the stock jumped over 37%—because, you know, everyone was freaking out about global energy supplies. Now it's down about 3.36% to $11.23, according to market data. It's like the market version of catching your breath after a sprint.
Why Sky Quarry Stock Is Taking a Breather After Monday's Big Rally
MarketDash
Sky Quarry shares are pulling back Tuesday as oil prices dip on shifting geopolitical winds, with Vice President JD Vance's comments on Iran easing supply fears that had fueled a 37% surge.

Geopolitics: The Usual Suspect
The downward pressure isn't coming out of nowhere. It's tied to what's happening with oil prices, and that's all about geopolitics. On Monday, Vice President JD Vance dropped some hints about a possible path forward in the stalled talks with Iran. He basically said a diplomatic breakthrough is possible if Tehran meets U.S. "red lines," and that such a deal could be "a very, very good deal for both countries." When someone in that position talks about "good deals," traders start thinking maybe the world isn't about to blow up, and energy supply fears ease a bit.
Oil Prices Do a Quick U-Turn
And sure enough, energy markets are reacting. Brent crude had surged past $100 per barrel on Monday, but early Tuesday, crude oil futures dropped 2.37% to around $96.73. That's a meaningful move when you're talking about billions of dollars in commodities. For a company like Sky Quarry, which runs the Foreland Refinery in Nevada and benefits when fuel costs rise, this oil price reversal is like a cold shower after Monday's hot streak. Higher oil prices mean better margins for refiners; lower prices, not so much.
Interestingly, while Sky Quarry is dipping, the broader market is doing okay. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) are trading higher. It's one of those days where energy stocks are doing their own thing, separate from the overall market mood.
What the Experts Are Saying
Professor Jeremy Siegel recently pointed out that the stock market is still super sensitive to this whole energy shock situation. He noted that unless there's a "meaningful de-escalation," markets might just bounce around in a range. In other words, don't expect smooth sailing until the geopolitical clouds clear up. It's a reminder that for all the technical charts and earnings reports, sometimes it's old-fashioned diplomacy that moves the needle.
Technical Check-In: Still Looking Strong
Despite today's pullback, Sky Quarry isn't exactly falling apart on the charts. The stock is still holding a solid uptrend over the longer term, sitting well above its major moving averages. It's closer to the middle of its 52-week range than the peak it hit in April. Some numbers: it's trading 146.8% above its 20-day simple moving average and 249.1% above its 100-day simple moving average. The relative strength index, a momentum gauge, is at 80.84, which is on the high side—often a sign things might be overbought, but not necessarily a crash signal.
- Key Resistance: $19.50
- Key Support: $4.50
So, if you're watching the stock, those are the levels to keep an eye on. Resistance at $19.50 means that's where sellers might step in, while support at $4.50 is where buyers could show up if things really slide. For now, though, it's more about whether oil prices stabilize or keep swinging based on the latest headline from the Middle East.
In short, Sky Quarry's Tuesday dip is a classic case of "what goes up must come down a bit," fueled by cooler oil prices and a dash of diplomatic hope. It's not a collapse—just a reminder that in energy stocks, the geopolitics are always in the driver's seat.
