CRUDE OIL DecisionPoint Weekly/Monthly Wrap By Carl Swenlin | April 29, 2017
CRUDE OIL (USO)
IT Trend Model: NEUTRAL as of 3/8/2017
LT Trend Model: SELL as of 3/9/2017
The PMO crossed down through its signal line this week, generating a SELL signal, but price seems to be starting a bounce off the rising bottoms line.
The weekly PMO is negative, and price is in a basing pattern that may last for years due to an abundance of oil.
I'm using $WTIC for the monthly chart to enhance our long-term perspective. Major support is at about 33.00; although, 2016 saw a brief drop below that level, . The monthly PMO is currently rising, though decelerating, but the weekly chart above hints that the recent crude oil rally is about done.

...Bad Week for Gold and Crude
CRUDE OIL (USO)
IT Trend Model: NEUTRAL as of 3/8/2017
LT Trend Model: SELL as of 3/9/2017
Crude oil continued its dive from the April top, losing almost 10% this week.
On the weekly chart USO has reached the bottom of the one-year trading channel, but $WTIC, which represents futures contracts, remains near the center of a similar trading range. Continued weakness in $WTIC could drive USO down to test the low set in 2016. The current weekly PMO configuration (PMO topping below the signal line) is very negative. . .
