Summary

Energy stocks are closely tied to price action in Oil.

With WTIC having ramped from the March low of $42s to the recent high of $62.58, a retrace of the bounce is very natural. First support is the weekly 10MA... currently around $55.

*I have high confidence in RIG and SDRL across the longer term, but both look highly vulnerable across the summer/early autumn.
