We should probably expect crude quotes to reverse upward whenever pump prices slip below $3, since that would be just a little too peachy for the approximately 233 people who drive in the U.S. We can only hope the 78.86 Hidden Pivot target shown contains crude’s current surge, since a breakout above that number wants reasons to explore a void on the chart that extends all the way up to $85/barrel. At the level, pump prices will be pushing $4/gallon, so let’s cross our fingers and hope Houthis and the Blow-upfish don’t up their game in the Persian Gulf. .
