On Twitter the afternoon of 05.21.08, I stated the maximum upside for crude oil before a pullback was 13450. Crude peaked out that evening at 13508 and has, as of this morning off the weekly API statistics, begun to test the stated objective of 11850-12250. The maximum downside for this move before retesting the mid-to-upper 120s is roughly 110-115; a move below that and the mentality of the market will have changed.
So who is going to take credit for this recent pullback? More-than-likely, you’re elected officials in Washington (where perception of action is actually more important than substantive action).
