The cycle of cheap energy, a strong dollar, and weak global demand (including a weak China), first described in “Crude Analysis of Crude: I Enter the Center of the Cycle”, might give way to what could be a significant event.
The price of the Crude Light Oil contract, traded on Globex, is nearing its 100 day moving average price for the first time since the end of July 2014.
