June Crude reversed sharply Thursday from within 16 cents of the 47.42 Hidden Pivot support I’d flagged here the night before as a good place to get long. Sounds easy, right. It wasn’t. The futures initially bounced from 46.45, three cents from my number, after plummeting $2 from the previous day’s highs. The close-but-no-cigar low left subscribers a penny or two shy of getting aboard, according to reports in the chat room. What happened next would have challenged bulls and bears alike: The futures relapsed to 47.26, 16 cents below my target and three cents below the stop-loss that had accompanied it; then they rocketed sharply higher, on their way to a so-far recovery peak at 49.13. Intraday histrionics aside, the bigger picture is going according to plan. I’ve been bullish, but with a 51.49 rally target that I regard as the upper limit of crude’s dead-cat bounce from lows near $27 in February. We shall see, but in any case we’ll attempt to short just above with as much caution as we can bring to the task.
