Low volume, that is why it is trending down. How low do you think we are going to go? To 13 or 12 ? Hahahahaha. earnings are this month, and I suspect we will get another upgrade. Don't forget, we are holding above the 50 day moving average, so be careful with your short. This is just an illusion of weakness.

in futures markets forward contracts trading at discounts to
nearby or spot months does not necessarily imply a downward
price movement

this "backwardation" can indeed signal a technically tight or
"squeezed" market (which is more likely the case in oil right
now which everyone and their brother is shorting)

conversely, a "contango" market exists when forward prices are
higher than spot prices reflecting the cost of carry, more normally
associated with a balanced or weak market

a better question to ask is why is anyone even watching oil in
regards to uti instead of natural gas which represents 70% of
revenue and 80% of profits?????
