WTIC, daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC: oil has powered up to $75.21. Next resistance… psy’80, and more so… 81/84 zone. I’d be surprised if we break above the latter.

XLE: energy stocks are strongly higher with oil. Weekly momentum started ticking upward last week, and we’re getting bullish follow through.

notable stock: XOM

Reflective of the sector

notable stock: PBR

Petrobras is my favourite, of the non-US based energy stocks, having recently floored from just above the 200dma

We’re set for net daily declines of some degree.
In theory, Tuesday should be red… at least for some of the day.
