Oil bottom this morning blamed on more reports that Saudi Arabia ready to start war with Russia for Aleppo. Unleash the Algos! This is why I took a pledge to not trade Oil.

like that target at least, recall friday before Presidents day one of worst trading days historically, holiday weekend, clean house, maybe we close near or break for a good trap before a bounce next week.....not getting any good buy signals yet....

Can we expect a third-push down after a bounce?
yes
Next support is low of 20 jan $181.02
Today’s low so far is $181.39
Oversold.
Problem with a dead cat bounce is this:
Record high SPX short interest (posted earlier), and with shorts now a crowded trade, contrarians will be salivating to pounce on any dead cat that smells of a trend changer….

Disclaimer: I am not an investment advisor. This is just my opinion NOT investment advice.
Using this pattern and deciding on when to enter, yesterday it failed.
If we get the close below 9109.05, then using his 7% move estimate, then we land approx at 8690.50 or a 2011 high...it's hard to believe.
SPY bar 180.50 seems viable.
Sharing research and ideas only, this is not trading advice.

SPX hourly trying to hammer.. VIX curious spike down intra day 1m.. SPX seems better support a tad lower.. but dabble a small long here.. probably a tad early
Trades with cats wrote:Oil, news last night was that Phillips 66 had dumped a large amount of inventory at Cushing for discounts of 2.25 to 2.50, and at least one other refiner was doing the same. They said Valero was cutting production at Memphis by 25% and that the crack spread in the upper midwest was going negative. So this is the scenario Goldman laid out where storage fills and prices are slashed because they can't just shut all this stuff down. The next phase will be widening defaults on junk bonds, and by the way the banks are behind the curve on loss reserves for this sector.
