Thursday's market star was crude oil — and what a wild ride it's been!

I came into the day long (VERY long) both DRIP and ERY. They both started off well, but then went into a free-fall, which was, umm, a little disconcerting. Mercifully, I didn’t get stopped out and they turned around nicely.

Take note, for instance, the well-formed cup-with-handle pattern that has completed with ERY, shown below.
