Topping Tail Signals Oil's Next Move

 | Jan 12, 2018 02:53PM ET

Oil ETF USO charged higher on Thursday before staging an impressive 100% reversal of the gains. This put in a topping tail, which is a bearish chart setup signal. Then on Friday, oil bounced higher but but didn't take out Thursday's highs. That's called a retrace, inside bar move. As long as USO does not close above $12.92 on a daily closing basis, oil should be expected to sell off next week. Keep it on your radar.
