Oil: Here comes the whipsaw – TDS

“After all, our advanced positioning analytics have been highlighting that CTAs were likely to reaccumulate their length, even in a flat tape, which points to a natural deterioration in downtrend signals associated with moving windows.”
“Prices will need to remain on a downtrend only to keep algos from returning to the bid — which creates a set-up for a near-term reversal in prices. At the same time, our real-time gauge of commodity demand trends has finally sufficiently deteriorated towards oversold levels, suggesting that the reversal in demand sentiment may be overdone.”
“This week's Politburo meeting still presents a potential catalyst for a reversal in sentiment with a potential announcement of policy details designed to stimulate domestic demand following the Third Plenum.”
