The Light Sweet Crude market rose for the Tuesday session as rumors of a Greek agreement hit the markets. This wasn't so much a "pro-oil" play, rather an "anti-Dollar" one. However, at the close there was no agreement, and this could be another fake out.
The $100 level still looms above, and could very well be resistant. The demand picture will not have been changed by any agreement in Athens, so this rally will more than likely offer a selling opportunity. The market is still looking a bit on the heavy side, and there is also a possibility of a downward channel forming now. Because of this, we sell weakness as it comes by selling rallies that produce fading candles.
