XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $85.36. There is an element of geo-political tension being priced in. Wed/Thursday should offer a swing lower. I’m still looking for a washout to the $75s or so.

XLE: energy stocks seeing considerable chop. S/t vulnerable with the main market.

notable stock: KMI

Momentum has turned negative. The mid $16s look probable.

Equities: sp’60min

Bears can argue price action is just bearish consolidation… as 4222 looks highly vulnerable post Fed. From there… psy’4k and the 38% fib’ of 3815.
