$WTIC
Why is everyone so giddy about the prospect of shorting oil here? The move on the monthly is just getting started and there is no fib resistance or even much volume supply until you get to $62. Not a great risk/reward short entry here. This is the same chart I’ve been posting here for months.
It’s also encouraging today to hear Dennis Gartman say that he’s leaning towards selling oil right now, although not aggressively yet. He said today that “oil is more like to go down $5 than up $2.” He also famously declared in January that we wouldn’t see $44 oil again in his lifetime. Maybe he was told he only had 3 months to live? He must be the most consistently wrong guru to be brought on TV so frequently….very entertaining to see him come up with these projections based on….ummm…nothing more than guessing.
I am not shorting it but do like to follow it. Maybe this explains why the interest in shorting it:

TA is all interpretative 😉

You forgot to mention the non-confirmation of the RSI…
That’s why I am not shorting it. Trend line saying opposite the other indicators.
Dennis…. that’s incredible that a seasoned guy like him would make such a definitive comment. I have heard him speak at conferences and he has seen how markets can go well beyond what anyone can imagine. Must be early Alzheimer’s.
Our group has been getting Gartman for almost 15yrs.
We regard him as an industry semaphore, interpreting his work as a signal to take the opposite stance.
Break out on OBV is confirming upside move in US oil.
Thanks for the post.
