cRUDE awakening?

more importantly, natural gas futures hit highs before coming back in, probably sell the news situation on the weather forcast. crude oil is still bearish, and distillates/heating oil isn't as bullish as most of north american heating is done with natural gas. also, distillates has a diesel component. imo, there is no doubt nat gas will retest and make new highs before the winter's done.

Quote from gharghur2:

cRUDE got whacked yesterday, just when it looked like it was about to get something going: helped the equity market rally.

An aberation?
A retest of $56, or a breakdown to the next pivot at $52?

Where's the seasonality guys?
Shouldn't cRUDE be preparing to rally into January?
 
Quote from Hook N. Sinker:

I do not think I made any money in crude during November or December 2005. Prices are so choppy I just win lose win lose win lose. I hope a trend appears.

Hook ...

Doesn't January typically offer rising prices in preparation of an increase in gasoline demand?

Your chart looks very bullish especially with those upside gaps.
