CRUDE OIL

Today's MARKET STATE for CRUDE OIL **NEUTRAL DIGESTION**

-The MKT is in a sideways digestive position with a slight positive bias.
-On the SELL side avoid DP BREAKOUT strategies but rather FADE a positive reaction against the DIR after a negative breakdown signal.  UP and UT1 REVERSAL strategies are recommended over FADE strategies as “sloppy” trading conditions are expected.  Any UP FADE trades should get confirmation.
-On the BUY side UP BREAKOUT strategies are valid but should expect a laborious trade.  Work any position, selling into emotional surges and re-entering on any sharp pullbacks.  Expect a choppy trade and be aggressive on minimizing profit give-back.  DP and DT1 FADE and REVERSAL strategies are recommended.

Wrap Up
- Today in the CRUDE OIL market, the downside breakout from the Critical Range signaled to traders that Crude Oil was transitioning lower.  When we got a breakout signal out from the Critical Range, our expected target is two APMD away from our entry point, in this case, the DT2.  The SELL DP BREAKOUT signal that was generated at 7:45 A.M. followed through to the downside and made it all the way down to our expected target at the DT2 around 10:30 A.M.
