Unfortunately, the recent breakdown in debt-ceiling talks is likely to force the price to fall more before rising higher. If the count is right, wave [c] should be short and sharp, taking the price below 70 and then immediately rebounding.
On Monday, there will probably be an opportunity to cut long positions and reenter at a more advantageous time later on in the following week.
The ultra bearish bets on oil decline in my contrarian mind speak in favour of the surprise surge as it often happens.
Agree with the premise here, I'd be happy to get long around $70 for what I believe would be a reason high R play. Would would be your upside target and time horizon?
