Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $46.25 in early morning, pressured by the weak main market, but also the bouncing dollar. Broadly, the door remains wide open to psy’50 before year end, with secondary of the $52s.

XLE: energy stocks hit with the main market, but broadly.. the June $45s appear set to be broken above in early 2021.

notable stock: OXY

Occidental hit with the sector. On a grand perspective, other than psy’ levels, there is no major resistance until the $46s. I’ll keep stating that until most don’t see it as ‘crazy talk’ any longer. That will probably be sometime in March/April.

Equities: sp’60min

We’ve already tagged the lower end of opening gap… pretty impressive. The late afternoon will threaten a secondary cooling wave, as the bigger daily cycles offer somewhat lower.
