The Wild Card
Crude Oil
Crude Oil has been very bullish this week, and has given big returns for many forex traders. The weekly chart's oscillators seem to be showing mixed signals. However, the MACD of the 4-hour chart offers a more accurate picture that the trend for today may be a downward correction. Going short with tight stops seems to be the preferred choice for today.
