Crude Oil: The bottom?!

Crude oil prices jumped 11% after 2 days of rally after data showed a steep drop in the number of rigs drilling for oil in US. This is read as a sign that crude production may begin to decline.

From the monthly, weekly & daily composite charts, we can see that a bottom may be forming. If the crude oil price bottom in 2008-2009 can be a guide, we can expect prices of crude oil to see volatile trading for the next few weeks or even months before a recovery kicks in.

Based on technical consideration, O&G stocks could be a good bet for long-term investment.
