USO daily

XLE weekly

Summary

WTIC/USO: oil printed $38.87, pressured by the main market, but also the significantly higher dollar. Major support 32/30… would arguably sync with sp’3100.

XLE: energy stocks saw sig’ net weekly gains last week… but those have already been fully negated, breaking a new multi-month low. S/t bearish… with the sp’3100s.

notable stock: XOM

The ex-Dow component of Exxon continues to broadly struggle, back to early April levels.

Equities: sp’60min

S/t cyclically very oversold. Regardless of any bounce… it’d seem mr market wants broader downside to around 3100.

Time to catch the last sunset of summer 2020…

*I should be back by 2pm, but if not… refresh 2.10/2.15pm!
