I did a quick video on a Crude Oil setup last night and it can be found here. Crude/Energy Trade Setup

The downtrend in SPY 0.00%↑ and QQQ 0.00%↑ has found a bit of a pause as of Friday, putting in an inside day. Buyers were unable to take out Thursday’s high after what was initially a rather strong trend day up. Sellers stepped in just below Thursday’s high and undid nearly all of the upside traction we had seen. As mentioned Thursday, the structure and location of Thursday’s high is extremely concerning for bulls. The fact that sellers defended it at yet another key location puts even more pressure on buyers to perform this week. We are trading in a bit of a box between Thursday and Friday’s action and we will monitor for trades against that box. I generally believe we may not have resolution in terms of swing high vs continuation short until after Wednesday, but we will be prepared to navigate into swing positions either direction as this week plays out.
