Diamondback Energy's share price did pull back as anticipated, but the pullback was much shallower than expected. After pulling back to ~$174, its share price shot up by $11. Because its share price is now far from its immediate support area of ~$167, you may want to turn your attention to this week's stock pick instead. Yes, we will miss some trades and that's ok.
