WTIC, daily


Oil is naturally higher on weekend attacks. For now though, its still relatively minor, and the market is not taking any of it seriously. S/t structure of a bull flag is playing out though, and I’d be open to 81/84 within a few days.

Summary

Last week ended on a positive note, with the SPX settling just 45pts below the recent hist’ high of 7620. S/t momentum settled moderately positive.

Overnight futures have been leaning weak, pressured by weekend war headlines, and South Korea. We’re set to open -20pts or so.

Yours truly did not complete my accounts this weekend, and I’ve no business doing anything until that is done.
