Oil breaking down?

TVC:USOIL   CFDs on WTI Crude Oil
The sudden weakness today knocks oil below the 50ma and might suggest a more serious decline is taking place. Oil is overdue for an ICL decline and it has quite bearish COT positioning. The 50ma looks ready to roll over from what was a very steady advance.

Oil might tank with the stock markets, if they tank.

I will watch it for a bit longer, and consider once again playing DRIP, as oil stocks have been much weaker than Oil so far. Or DWT if that shows a better risk/reward stop. It's volatile out there and I want to make LESS trades in this environment.
Comment:
Update, today Oil appears much more bullish. I didn't take any position.

It looks like XLE is breaking UP from consolidation and heading to recovery.

I think this better matches the fundamental backdrop of More Inflation Coming.

Even Uranium is looking good (URA, UEC)

XLE, GUSH, SWN, OAS, many others all look like a decent entry.

Trade War with China and hot war with Russia/Syria is really happening as of right now. That means Inflation inflation inflation.
