F/U: $GASO, $WTIC - Continued BEARISH pressure
Some extrinsic events have occurred in the news today, worth considering effective on $GASO today.
1 - Capture of Taliban #2 man, which in the mind of investors contributes to much of the world unrest and wild oil fluctuations. Although not the end of a history of the world saga, this international story is likely to warm up investors to the still far-fetch idea that South-East Asian and Middle Eastern countries may gain more political stability in their respective oil-dependent rich governments.

2 - President Barack Obama is unveiling for the first time in a very very long time plans to develop nuclear energy in the US. While the plan is far from being materialized into an oversized cement-made shot glass in some suburban landscape, I can see how France or similar other European (which have numerous experience on construction and maintenance of alternative,nuclear energy dependence) could provide the know-how for acceleration of such plants and make the US a less oil dependent country. Before that, I expect some agonizing and lengthy debates on nuclear risks vs. oil dependence.

If oil rallied to higher levels, expect further public division and political rhetoric on nuclear development issues.
For now, $GASO continues to test its recent support line, lending yet more credence to a downside scenario (See first chart: "$GASO - 60-Mo., Weekly Chart" below), whereas $WTIC failed to break over the higher border of the bearish mid-line (drawn clear back in mid-July 2008 - Man, I was so young and innocent back then, LOL), and this after it failed to short-term channel midline support of its bullish channel (See second chart: "$WTIC - 36-Mo., Weekly Chart" below).
