USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $94.59, if recovering to the $96s. S/t shaky… but the door remains open to the 50dma in the $108s.

XLE: energy stocks had a rough morning, if slightly above their lows, helped with the main market leaning back upward.

*I hold long the sector via OXY, SLB, RIG… having dropped KMI in early morning.

notable stock: OXY

Lower with the sector… should resume upward.

notable stock: RIG

Lower with the sector. Soft target remains $3.10.

Equities: sp’60min

A sporadic burst upward… for no apparent reason.
In any case… 4K is near, and should be cleared.
I’d keep in mind the 38% fib (weekly chart) of 4088, which seems possible, before a swing lower to the low 3800s, before yet another swing upward!
