XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $38.24, helped by the positive main market, and the (earlier) cooler dollar. S/t broken, as major support of 32/30 appears probable.

XLE: energy stocks are higher with the main market and oil, but the sector remains short and mid term broken.

notable stock: XOM

The ex-Dow component might see net daily gains, but the trend sure isn’t great. If WTIC 32/30, the March lows will likely be tested.

S/t momentum is on the high side, as the s/t setup offers some cooling… ahead of the fed. I’d accept mini price structure is offering another bull flag… but cyclically… we ARE over-stretched.
