Summary

WTIC/USO: oil has swung from the $89s to $91s… helped by a major downside reversal in the USD. I’m still dubious it can keep pushing, and look for downside to the 50dma… soon psy’$80.

XLE: energy stocks seeing considerable chop, if propped up by oil. S/t vulnerable.

notable stock: KMI

Remaining stuck…. another spiky candle like yesterday, with selling into each bounce.
