Our proprietary energy cycle indicator turned down last week from the divergence as noted previously.
We have a serious divergence this week between oil and oil stocks. Such divergences have almost always led to a substantial decline in prices in oil-related ETFs.
It so happens that we have a new buy signal and set up on the inverse ETF this week.
Summary
The energy sector cycle is down and a multiweek correction is in progress. Traders can consider shorting the sector via an inverse ETF, and manage their risk by using stops.
