] in anticipation the hurricane will take it higher.
If damage is minimal, as it usually is, crude could plunge. "This is too fast of a trade for most investors,” Terranova says. “No one other than a professional trader who’s sitting in front of a screen is fast enough for this trade.”
Also, if there's no catalyst to take oil higher Terranova thinks it can very easily slip under the 100-day moving average which is right around $110 and technically the market could then roll to $100.
Okay. So we’ve convinced you to stay away from a direct crude trade. But what about the refiners. Are they in play? “No,” replies Terranova. “A hurricane into the Gulf should have moved the refiners much more than they’re moving today.”
