*Yesterdsay China Announced They Would Increase Their Oil Reserves By 160% Adding 169 Million Barrels Of Oil
*Oil Rallied For One Day Off Of This News But Has Given That Entire Up Move Back
*Link Featuring 3 Oil Analysts Bearish Calls This Morning
*When An Asset Fails To Rally Or Hold Gains After Major Positive News Events It Is A Warning That The Asset Is Likely In Or Entering A Downtrend
Yesterday China announced they would increase their Oil Reserves by 160% adding an additional 169 Million Barrlesof Oil. This news succeeded in assisting Oil in rallying approximately 3.5% yesterday but Oil has given back that entire move today. When an asset fails to rally or fails to hold onto gains after a major "game changing" news it is a warning sign that the asset may be entering or is in a downtrend.

This morning Peter Beutell reiterated his near-intermediate term Bearish call on Oil suggesting that Oil is likely to hit $55/Nymex Barrel by the end of the 3rd Quarter. On June 11 I posted the a note (link below) calling attention to several technical indicators suggesting Oil was likely overbought & included Peter Beutells Bearish call that morning. Since then Oil has fallen approximately 5.75% & while pops higher are possible, keeping in mind the increased probability of a near-intermediate term downtrend in Oil is key.

BOTTOM LINE
When a "game changing" event fails to provide a sustained pop higher for an asset it is a warning. While one cannot entirely rule out a continuation of the Oil rally, heeding the warning signals is likely wise.
Good Trading
