Oil Should Be Moving Lower ...

On the weekly chart, we have rising volume flow and momentum (despite the shorter term sell signal).  While the 10 and 20 week EMAs are moving lower, the 50 and 200 week EMAs are moving higher. 
 
The point here is to look at multiple time frames when thinking about price movement.
