XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $90.58, helped by a positive main market, and a favourable EIA report. Still… the cyclical setup favours some cooling. Natural target is the 50dma… next week… psy’ $80.

XLE: energy stocks seeing considerable chop… s/t vulnerable with oil and the main market.

notable stock: KMI

Distinctly s/t stuck. Today’s candle is spiky, and it won’t take much to turn red.

S/t momentum is on the high side. Maybe some late day cooling, with some rats selling on strength ahead of CPI?
