XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $81.44, helped by the bouncing main market, but also by the weaker dollar. I still see as s/t vulnerable with the main market.

XLE: energy stocks powering upward with oil. S/t vulnerable with the main market.

notable stock: KMI

Kinder Morgan higher with the sector. Cyclically.. very high.

S/t momentum is on the high side, as the s/t setup for Wednesday will favours the bears.
