RE:RE:RE:3:2:1 Crack Spread3:2:1 Crack Spread is not technical analysis. It is the cost of 3 barrels of CL vs the value of 2 barrels of gasoline and 1 barrel of heating oil.
WRT DaveMTL, maybe he is of the opinion oil is going to $50.00? His entry in the continuation gap might not look so crazy? I am not of that opinion.
A technical analyst would argue his methodology includes valuation. It includes every market participant including bottom up, top down, algos, longs, shorts and insiders. He would argue that the price action and resulting chart records every single vote (buy/sell) every day and every week.
