I’ve added an additional downtrend line to the /CL (crude futures) 60-minute chart to form a second, larger falling wedge pattern. CL recently backtested the smaller, previously highlighted wedge yesterday & has crossed above the larger, yellow downtrend line today, although today’s breakout has not been very impulsive yet.
- CL 60-min June 7th
- USO 60-min June 7th
Should this breakout start to gain some momentum to the upside, it would likely send CL up to at least the 67.24ish level & USO to around 13.58. Such a move would likely translate into a rally in the energy stocks (XLE, XOP, XES, etc.) as well, assuming the broad market holds up over the next week or so.
