Divergence Between Oil and Oil Stocks Signals Decline in Oil-Related ETFs
Commodities / Oil Companies May 17, 2016 - 05:30 AM GMT
Technical analyst Jack Chan reports the energy sector cycle is down and a multiweek correction is in progress, and discusses what that means.
Our proprietary energy cycle indicator turned down last week from the divergence as noted previously.
We have a serious divergence this week between oil and oil stocks. Such divergences have almost always led to a substantial decline in prices in oil-related ETFs.
It so happens that we have a new buy signal and set up on the inverse ETF this week.
Summary
The energy sector cycle is down and a multiweek correction is in progress. Traders can consider shorting the sector via an inverse ETF, and manage their risk by using stops.
