Loonie, Confluence, Musical Theory and the Oil Services Index

UPDATE: picture paints a thousand words.  NOTE THE HUGE AMOUNT OF THRUST THAT CAME INTO OUR LEVEL.  Even w/ that much thrust it only went thru 15 pips.  current consolidation needs to get going higher OR pull back a little for this level to be key. Lastly, take a peak at the oil services index […]
