Summary

re: Oil/USO.. next support will be around $10.00 this Friday... and that is another 5% lower.. equiv' to WTIC around $42/41s

So.. we've already come pretty close to breaking the Friday low of sp'2052.

The mainstream cheerleaders are clearly a little twitchy.. as they are starting to wonder just how low we might trade by the end of the week.

A break <2052 looks highly probable.. and that will lead to another push to 2040.. where the 50dma is lurking.

notable weakness.. miners.. FCX, daily


A second day lower.. but still holding within the upward trend. The Jan' low of $3.52 looks a bizarrely long ways lower
