Building on a previous post I illustrated 2 possible scenarios for the oil markets. (linked)
Having initially thought we were in the 2nd, it appears I was wrong as this current rally now has an impulsive feel to it.
As you can see there appears to be a leading diagonal patter in play. It will be key to see the market react off the upper bound of this diagonal and reverse lower as illustrated by the red arrows.
There are 2 possible plays -
1) Short Oil on the correction but do not expect it to get below $35.
2) Once the correction plays out, reverse the position, conservative stops placed below $35, with a view of riding a strong bull market over the next several months.
