Oil’s Big Week
The highlight of last week for me was energy’s breakdown. Looking at the USO chart, you can see the clean break. I consider it plausible that crude oil will see the upper 30s before a meaningful reversal.
I trimmed my ERY long position about 40% on Thursday, but I intend to get back in at hopefully better prices. The cup and handle pattern is still quite clean.
I did a day trade on DRIP on Thursday for a small profit, and I’m glad I got out, since it slipped over 10% the next day. These patterns are both quite similar (for obvious reasons, since they are both triple-bearish energy funds), but I think I’m going to stick with ERY.
