I just got back to observe the oil slick. I have now listened to both CNBC's explanation and Bloomberg's explanation of how this went down today. I can say honestly that they are both denying the truth. They tell me its about the weather, they tell me its OPEC's credibility. . .
The truth is that the big players were unloading. The reason why it didnt get under 55 is because they stopped unloading right when they saw it start to hit 55 which is the support we are all drooling over. Its evident in the chart.
Then after 12, someone was reloading. It looks like a lower volume reload so maybe retail or smaller hedge funds betting that things will get more bullish or maybe the guys who unloaded are trying to get back in at a lower price.
There is bullish news around the corner. . .but we as the limited partners in this operation only know so much. The larger players who are controlling the game can only tell us what is going on. Someone didnt want this up above 57 bucks today and they tried hard...
