I don't have access to charts now, but I see that Oil is trading near 86. That is a better than 60 point decline off the top. Assuming (note the inverse logic -g) that if this is a 50% retracement of *something*, this something would be the advance from the time when Oil traded in the mid-20's. That's a long time ago.

Also, this is an approximately 62% retracement of an advance of the past couple of years - since the time when, as I remember, the $50 level was strong support / resistance.

By now, price of oil is probably pricing in a serious global depression, as well as an assumption that reserves will have practically no limit. I can see USO crash down some more, I don't expect it but maybe to as low as 65 - but I think the thing is going to find a bottom relatively soon.

For USO it would probably require a break above 75 to confirm a likely reversal.
