USOIL Potential Continuation Short

539
USOIL is likely to pullback to around 5220 where continuation sellers are expected to enter the market. As for now, buying any minor pullback to 5085 towards the 5220 area and flipping short around there seems reasonable. Shorter timeframe for trade entries and thorough risk management is of utmost importance. It is better to get out of the market with minimal loss than hold the bag for weeks. This is overly a bearish market and the previous times sellers were too eager to sell and didn't wait for any significant pullback. There's a sense of urgency in the market and people are selling any pullbacks so being careful with longs is a must.
