XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $83.06, as 83/85 zone is set to be hit. $90 wouldn’t be a surprise… if Israel makes a push into Lebanon, as seems an eventuality… especially via a ‘weekend surprise’.

XLE: energy stocks battling for minor gains… as we’re above the weekly 10MA. S/t bullish with oil.

The chop continues… if leaning upward, as the s/t cyclical setup favours the bulls into early Tuesday… and that will help stocks like TSLA.
