Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $116.64, but has cooled to the $111s. On the s/t time frame… its gaps galore, as oil is swinging around. Still m/t bullish, as the recent $130s should be cleared, and onward to challenge the 2008 $147s.

XLE: energy stocks are very mixed. A fair number of stocks are sig’ lower, as they are just s/t exhausted.

notable stock: OXY

Yesterday’s black candle played out, as momentum has turned negative. S/t vulnerable, but grander upside target remain the $76s.

notable stock: RIG

Much like OXY… as Wednesday’s black candle played out.
Pareto Securities sell>hold, $5.
Having printed the $5s, I’m inclined to see the 2018 $14s.

Equities: sp’60min

We’ve stalled from teal gap, as hourly momentum remains negative. Bears should be looking for a close under the open of 4469.

Time to catch a little sun…
