VIX, Oil, BRICS & Sterling's Sell-Appeal

BRICS equity indices fail at key fib retracements, VIX and oil near major trend lines and sterling's sell-appeal hasn't looked this good in a while.

Hi Ashraf, many thanks again for your wise words regarding Oil. Is it now time to move my Stop down from 75.20? What do you suggest, 72.80? Are we still looking good for $68 or should we take something off the table? BTW, I purchased the Book and Workbook, looking forward to getting stuck into them. Thanks again, Smiler

Asad, Many thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it. I asked yesterday what Technical Indicators people were using for Oil but I get the impression that people are simply following the Fundamentals. If it drops to 68 I would be happy to take a profit. Then it will be fun time and remember, no-one parties like the Irish!!! :-)

Radu, Moe & Smiler,

The way the market as collapsed from 75, it seems that the API data will be poor (excess). Bear in mind that it is rare that analysts forecasts are wrong. Ang the plunging of oil today may have absorbed these forecasts. In any case, needn't worry! We'll meet oil in its 60s in the coming weeks.

Radu, indeed...I'm setting a short position at every $2 now...and further, adding 1.5x to the previous short. Talk about algorithms.

Smiler, I got Ashraf's comments mixed up. :) Good that you're setting up short position w/ every decline. Suggest you remain short until 68...then long b/w 68 & 70 (quick money) because this is a range where oil would want to retaliate. Once you've made your money...start shorting and go party... ;)

Hey Radu,

Couldn't get the API data, but seems to be crude bearish...
If you have any information, please let me know.
