Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed a low of $83.20. Today’s candle is rather spiky from around key price threshold. Cyclically… the setup favours the bulls for next week.

XLE: energy stocks are lower with oil. Weekly momentum is on the low side. Structure is a giant bullish wedge, and leans for upside across the summer.
