Of course, those last two bars weren’t there yet, but I took some small comfort (which I needed badly) in seeing that we were approaching what appeared to be another lower high, and that a reversal was at hand. Mercifully, so far, that’s precisely what has happened, with crude oil extending its slippery hand to help.
