CLQ11 – August Crude (Last:98.14)

August Crude (CLQ11) price chart with targetsA longstanding target at 85.51 that we’d just about given up on is still in play, implying that camouflageurs looking to get short from near these levels might enjoy a small edge. Camouflage is essential in any case, since shorting crude implicitly discounts geopolitical risks that could send quotes soaring on any given day (or night). ______ UPDATE (July 26, 1:56 a.m.): We’ll forget about this one for a while, since crude seems to be enjoying frightening the energy-using world by frolicking near $100.
