Crude oil weakens led by XOP

Softening Eurozone economic data and news from the Trump administration that he may not meet Xi for possible trade resolution until March caused a sharp sell off in the Oil Producers ETF, XOP.  This index broke through 2 standard deviation lines today after failing at the 50-SMA which is very bearish short-term in a longer term bear market punctuated by a bear market rally since late December.  This slide could mark the beginning of the next primary bear market downswing in the energy space - oil derivatives and energy equities.
