Lower to sharply lower closes Wednesday for crude and heating oil along with the rbob and natural gas. The crude, heat and rbob continue to retrace lower along with the falling indices. The crude and heat are now in support areas while the rbob is at the critical lower end of its trading range going back to the middle of June. Gas made its lowest low and close since May 25th still not giving me a signal settled slightly lower after Monday’s sharp drop but holding the lower (440-460) end of a good-size support area. In fact this is its last support area before approaching contract lows! BUY SIGNALS FOR CRUDE AND HEATING OIL. CALL FOR DETAILS!
