CVR Energy's 15min chart indicates bearish trend with KDJ Death Cross, Bearish Marubozu.

According to the 15-minute chart for CVR Energy, a technical indicator known as the KDJ Death Cross and a bearish Marubozu pattern have been triggered. This suggests that the momentum of the stock price is shifting towards a downward trajectory and has the potential to continue decreasing further. The market is currently controlled by sellers, and it is likely that the bearish momentum will persist.

CVR Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CVI or “CVR Energy”) recently received a favorable decision from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regarding its subsidiary, Wynnewood Refining Company, LLC (WRC). On August 22, 2025, the EPA affirmed the validity of WRC’s petitions for small refinery hardship relief under the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for the 2017 and 2018 compliance periods and granted waivers for the 2019, 2021, and 2020-2024 compliance periods. This decision could significantly reduce WRC’s obligation for renewable fuel credits, known as Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs), by over 400 million, including previously retired RINs [1].

According to the EPA’s decision, WRC’s RIN obligation for the 2020-2024 compliance periods could be reduced by more than 300 million RINs, with an additional reduction of over 100 million RINs from previously retired credits. This substantial reduction could result in an estimated remaining obligation of 100 million RINs for the pre-2025 compliance periods. CVR Energy is currently evaluating the decision document and its impact on WRC’s and its own financial statements [1].

The market reaction to this news has been significant. A technical analysis of CVR Energy’s stock price indicates that a KDJ Death Cross and a bearish Marubozu pattern have been triggered, suggesting a downward trend in the stock price. This momentum shift is likely to continue, as the market is currently controlled by sellers [2].

Investors should be cautious, as this decision contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The EPA’s future actions, court proceedings, and other factors could impact the actual performance of CVR Energy [1].
