Summary
WTIC/USO: oil printed $76.11, not helped by the shaky main market. The current candle is a hollow red reversal, and leans s/t bullish.
XLE: energy stocks are very significantly lower, largely due to oil $76s. S/t prone to bouncing with the main market.
*I still see oil and the related energy stocks as the very last thing to be short.

The threat is of a s/t double top.

The minor chop continues. The s/t cyclical setup still favours the bulls, but I’d accept, this morning’s price action wasn’t exactly inspiring.
