Oil minister for Venezuela calling for a pricing meeting supposedly triggered the news algos.
As they try to set up a good short squeeze they should be providing that failed test of the previous level that all the technical traders are looking for. Last week they moved two cargoes of gasoline out of New York harbor to get this thing started. Weekend news feed being played by OPEC members right out of last springs text book with the Russians doing their part. Next hurdle is the weekly inventory numbers but that has to be in control because the Genscape build number in the media today was totally ignored by the algos focus on OPEC meetings. I can't think that most of these hedge funds are long term oil players (record short) so I keep to my thought that the market makers think they have a bunch of greenhorns ready to be fleeced just before the refiners shut down and the market goes to down for the winter. The only thing missing is the AM reports of Dennis Gartman's pronouncements.
breakdown as expected. tinted area the 123 formation text book target. I'm not sure about any bear target.

As they say, "rinse, wash and repeat".
USO chart wise, no man's land, short term bullish bias, 12is will be big fight.

The whole world are eyeing 61.8% retracement, captain obvious. short term is now crossed bearish, I will look to 5 DMA as a strong support from here. it's moving target so 61.8% area may be the meeting point of support.
