WTIC, daily


Oil printed a new s/t low of $74.24, if bouncing. Daily momentum is increasingly negative, as a fill of red gap still looks realistic, if not for a few more days.

Summary

Yesterday saw the market continue to power upward, breaking a new hist’ high. S/t momentum settled on the very high side.

Overnight futures have been leaning upward, we’re set to print a new hist’ high. Yes, we’re s/t very overbought, but the bigger daily charts are increasingly positive, and offer days, if not some weeks of net upside into Sept’.

The only wild card is geo-political… as its been since February.
Last weekend’s ‘do nothing’ was a reminder the default is to expect… nothing.
