The US Oil Trust (USO) has popped above key 10-week resistance at 49.90-50.20, which so far has triggered upside follow-through towards a retest of the prior recovery rally high at 50.74 (February 9). My pattern and momentum work argue for a hurdle of 50.74 on the way to 51.60, and then 52.80. At this juncture, only a decline that breaks 47.30 will compromise the developing near-term bullish pattern.
