USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $101.22, not helped by the main market, or the stronger dollar. Set for a net weekly decline of around -5.0%. Still m/t bullish, as a spike above the March $130s is a high threat, whether on Russia/Ukraine, or China/Taiwan.

XLE: a mixed week… breaking a new multi-year high, but set for a rather powerful net weekly decline. This week’s candle might settle bearish engulfing. Still m/t bullish… above the 10MA.

notable stock: SLB

Earnings were good, and the stock is holding up well to the whacked main market. Big target $54s.

notable stock: KMI

Just cooling back with the main market/sector, as yesterday’s black candle played out. Momentum has turned negative.

Another floor attempt… this time from 4311, some 211pts below the early Thursday high! S/t momentum is on the extremely low side, and we’re due a bounce.
