John LunneyGeneral Commentary

October Crude Oil       It appears that we have established a series of impulsive advancements stemming from the lows at roughly 42.50. Currently an a-b-c corrective decline seems to be in motion. A slip to 48.50-48.30 should set projected (c) wave extreme. If this interpretation is accurate the (c) wave low should not overlap the wave (i) price …
