Yup. Utterly untradeable. Took profit this morning on a single long & wasn't about to short it on the supply & demand report. Saw that gold wasn't crashing into the market close like crude and figured someone was playing games to trigger stop losses. I try and avoid trading crude on Wednesdays. Today was a sort of double jeopardy given the IEA report and the FOMC decision.

Here I disappear for a few days and oil magically is back around 120.

What's changed the sentiment ?

I just read something very thoughtful. The elasticity of oil price may not be as expected. With rising price, demand may not go down. :-)

Consider,
If every Chinese/Indian just converts from a bike to a motorcycle, that may be enough to not change the oil consumption far into the future despite rising price of oil.
