Aug 20, 2020

Technically, CL2! is at crucial level as it is challenging a key resistance area, corresponding to 2018 lows. A breach above this resistance could have major bullish implications for oil prices and for the weak energy sector (XLE), over the coming months.

On the other end, a failure to surpass those levels would call for the continuation of the underperformance of the energy compartment. We are at crucial levels. Stay tuned.
