over 101.12 oil,,it could pop nicely, last 100.83,,,needs to hold the support zone tho--chris

1243
100.50--100.70 oil support area--chris

1241
3893 in uso,,,chris

1238
now: uso above 3897 buy--chris

1225
OIL via USO above mkt buy stop 3904 could work with tite stop at 38.67,,,if willing to let yourself be stopped on loss and buy again lower--chris

1224
the next pullback on 3min oil chart may present a long opp, per the daily 60 and 15min charts, tho 15min suggests waiting

1151
nice 15min bull pennant (stronger than a flag) on HAL, if it holds,,,stops under support--CHRIS

1128
today, HAL is much stronger than DIG 2x etf, and DIG is now near its 60min support, so watching HAL for poss test of its support,,,,HAL must hold--CHRIS,,need to watch if the sector drags HAL lower

1123
looking for HAL to hold over 35.40--35.60 area,  if supp violated will take profits and look for reentry, last 36.03 up 7.5% today---CHRIS

1102
that SPY bull morn star candles and MACD hist PpP mentioned yesterday certainly played out with a huge surge higher==CHRIS

954
will sell HAL if oil hits 102.80 today,,,the correllation is not 1:1 between OIL: HAL or OIL:DIG as it is for OIL:USO==CHRIS

951
took AAP profits on half of positino,,will buy back lower--CHRIS

949
HAL just hit 36.49 or 2 cents over the 930am target of 3647==CHRIS

944
6872 stop on AAP

944
removing the .43 HAL lim sell and will manually trail tightly the stop instead, last 3637==CHRIS

3619 hal,,,considering the .23 trgt hit,,,seeing if it gets .47 next---now up 8% today==CHRIS

932
HAL approaching 35.48 trgt, last 35.30,,expecting poss overshoot,will watrch reactions--CHRIS

918
i believe that actions at 940am,,1000am, and 1030am are important==CHRIS

903
Yesterday I posted a SPY 122.70 target, last SPY 123.65, well above target 1 and near the 122.85 second target,,,,will watch reactions in this .65---.85 area

OIL hit and exceeded its 101 target, still see possibly 103 and 107 and 109,,,watching reactions as it hits each target, for continuation higher or reversal lower.

902
atm theres a huge gap up opening: ES futures are trading up 3%,  HAL trading pre-market up 4.5% and up 11% from initial trgt entry,,,waiting for 930am to see AAP action, might make sense to take profits on half within the first hour,,,will watch reactions and trail the stops
