Like many people, I've been looking for a bounce play in oil, but given the amount of government manipulation, I haven't been over aggressive.
We got a Friday afternoon pop of over 7% on relatively low volume to retest $48 resistance. This was probably a short squeeze after a full 10 trading days of lower highs. In other words, a lot of people covered their shorts once the selling pressure slowed around $46 support.
Monday will be the real test to see if this is going to be the start of a significant rebound or just another failed bounce for lower oil prices.
