Wow, this has been quite the parabolic move in oil over the past 2 weeks! Though I had targeted 49.33 short term, I did not capitalize enough as I'd expected to have pullbacks on the way up. At this point, I think that prices may continue up to the 52-54 level prior to having much of a pullback, as the masses are all waiting for a pullback to enter long.

1. It's possible that an election year is impacting oil prices being elevated and keeping the economy and 'loose' equity/oil correlations "happy"
2. With a potential September or December US interest rate hike, I believe that although oil prices may rally more, that they will be limited in there upside for the next 2 months
3. Based on strong monthly/weekly/daily price inflections, a channel based on the April 2015 distribution range and a possible February 2015 repeat cluster level; I think it is very possible that we see prices range in this area for several weeks prior to breaking down In late October or November as a US interest rate hike is more apt to occur in December which would pressure oil prices.

Long Entry: Active
TP1: 51.23
TP2: 52.74

S1: 48.24
S2: 47.83

Good trading to all!
Comment:
Had a couple of positions stopped but believe this was just a spring and will add additional LONG positions on a 4 hour candle close above 48
