Ive put sell order at 114.23, But thinking of lowering it to 113.86. Want to be in overnight for definite though
CL dropped to 115.15 on the news, then rebounded to 116.25 before peeling back off to new morning lows around 11:30AM EST. at $112.60 The funny thing is, is that the OIH is still slightly green and these stocks are so heavily shorted that they are still up nicely on the day. Any slight "uptick" in CL causes the drillers to go crazy!
the reaction and news not surprising, directly on the heels of a well-timed, (and well-trumpeted) GS super-'duper' oil going to the moon call.

Crude is making a massive move down on heavy volume. A build this large dictates a rational response. If it breaks and closes below 112, I will be one happy SOB.
Massive volume? Um.. it's people rolling over from Sept to October contract the past 2 days. Watch the September contract volume drop the past 2 days. That's explains why the October contract surged.
