Summary

WTIC/USO: oil is churning the 41/40s, set for a net weekly gain of around 10%. Broadly stuck. Resistance 42/43s… with first support 36s.

XLE: Energy stocks are set for powerful net weekly gains. Based on a few individual stocks – such as the giants of CVX and XOM, we appear to have a s/t floor. For now though… clearly still m/t horror.

notable stock: XOM

Early gains… fully reversed, but it doesn’t negated what is a cemented s/t floor.
