Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed a seven year high of $85.41, if cooling back to the $83s. I’d be open to a washout to 77/76 (for whatever reason), whilst m/t bullish to giant psy’$100… which is clearly viable before year end.

XLE: testing major resistance of the $58/59s… last seen in summer 2019.  S/t vulnerable. Secondary upside target 64/65s.

notable stock: OXY

Today’s candle is rather spiky, as the stock/sector is s/t overstretched.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t momentum is due to turn positive, which will probably hold the market up into early Tuesday. From there, the bears get another chance to swing things lower.
