The energy sector has surged during the last two months which can be seen by looking at the XLE Energy Select Sector Fund. If crude oil continues to climb to the $112 level, XLE will likely continue to rally for another few days or possibly week as energy stocks are considered a leveraged way to play energy price movements.
\nAnother way to look at this info is through the USO United States Oil Fund. This tracks much closer to the price of oil. The only issue is that many ETFs that \u201ctry to track\u201d an underlying commodity is in how the funds are built. They own multiple contracts further into the future which does not exactly provide us with the short term news\/event driven price movements in the current front month contract as they should.
\nWhat does this mumbo jumbo mean? Well, it means funds like USO and the highly respected UNG, and VIX ETFs\u2026 (just joking about the highly respected part), fail to track the underlying commodity or index very well when it comes to short term price movements. This means, you can nail the timing of a trade, and the commodity or index will move in your favor, yet your fund loses money, or goes nowhere\u2026
\nLet\u2019s Focus on the Technicals Now\u2026<\/strong>
\nWTI crude oil has formed a bullish ascending triangle pattern from March to May of this year. The breakout to the upside is bullish and should be traded that way until the chart says otherwise. This breakout and first pullback must hold, or I will consider it a failed breakout. So if price dips and closes 2 days below the breakout level, it will be a major negative for oil in my opinion.
\nThe range of the ascending triangle provides us with a measured move to the upside which is $112. Typically the first pullback after a breakout can be bought. The first short term target to scalp some gains would be $109, and at that point moving your stop to breakeven is a wise decision. Trading is all about managing capital and risk, if you don\u2019t, then the market will take advantage of your lack in discipline.
\nLooking further back on the chart, you can see the double bottom formation also known as a \u201cW\u201d formation. Once the high of the \u201cW\u201d formation is broken the trend should be considered neural or up.
\nAlso note that the RSI (relative strength) has been trending higher for some time now. This means money is rotating into this commodity. This is in line with my interview this week with Kerry Lutz<\/a> and my recent article talking about the next bull market in commodities<\/a> and the TSX (Toronto Stock Exchange).
\n\"\"<\/a>
\nWTI Crude Oil Trading Conclusion:<\/strong>
\nIn short, oil has some extra risk around it. The recent move has been partly fueled by news overseas. So at any time oil could get a lift or take a hit by news that hits the wires. I tent to trade news related events with much less capital than I normally do because of this risk.
\nHappy Trading!
