How To Use ETFs to Predict Price Moves in Oil
ETFs, or Exchange Traded Funds, not only track the price of oil, but they can actually provide clues as to where the oil price is going. I’ll show you how to read their charts, and show you the ETF that I think most accurately follows and even warns investors of oil price moves. (Hint – it’s not who you think.)
Currently Light Sweet Crude futures remain in an uptrend, over the last month price has tumbled from former highs at $114.83 in May to $95.25 currently on the July contract. The two-year chart below, in 2-day increments, shows the course of oil prices with a continuous futures chart.
ETFs allow individual investors to partake in the price fluctuation of oil in a way very similar to simply purchasing a stock. (For further information on ETFs, see Keith Schaefer’s report: ETF Investing in the Oil & Gas Market).
The chart below shows the price of light sweet crude in yellow/red, and two ETFs – USO-NYSE, which is the United States Oil Fund (purple), and an ETF which gets far less attention – XOP (light blue). XOP is the symbol for the SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF traded on the NYSEArca exchange – so it is an ETF that covers oil stocks/equities, whereas USO tries to track the commodity.

General Chart Comments
From the chart above much information can be extrapolated. Namely we can see that at this time oil still remains in a primary uptrend, even though we have seen a sizable correction. There are two trendlines shown on the chart – the first one is red and indicates an aggressive upward trend.
At some point all aggressive moves slow down. The green trendline is also present which marks the more stable rise of oil prices over the last year.
If oil prices move below that red line, currently intersecting at $92 (this will change over time as the line is sloping), it indicates that oil is correcting to its primary uptrend level (green line).
The green line currently intersects at $80, but will rise over time as the line is sloping. An upward sloping trendline such as this helps a trader gauge when longer term trends are shifting. Markets move in waves – in an uptrend, markets have progressively higher low prices and progressively higher high prices.

I like this TV show that's called "Hows it's Made?" basically it talks about how anything is made from food, utilities, items, gadgets and the list goes on you just name them. It pretty nice where you would go through how a thing is made from scratch and how it ends it brings you at awe really although it is an old show it looks like it came from the late 90s but it really provides good stuff.
