Heating Oil forming a Bull Pennant?

ENERGIES: 12/14/10: Higher closes yesterday for natural gas, crude and heating oil along with the rbob. The energies continue to look higher overall with very choppy action continuing although the heat and rbob look like they’re in BULL PENNANTS at this time. Although gas has given me two buy signals so far its rally has been a struggle so far with strong resistance over 450 basis the January contract. BUY SIGNALS FOR THE CRUDE OIL AND HEATING OIL ALONG WITH THE RBOB AND NATURAL GAS. CALL FOR DETAILS!
