The TechWizard has observed shares in LNG producer Santos ((STO)) forming a second close reversal week, which now means everybody who bought the shares above $16 in the past two weeks is in the red. He suggests this may imply more weakness ahead as more and more short term investors may decide to look for greener pastures elsewhere.

It is the Wizard's view that Santos shares remain in a solid, longer term uptrend, but at present a correction is taking place and in case the share price breaks below $15.31 (last week's low) there will be more selling on the back of triggered stop losses, he predicts.

The Wizard is of the view the correction in Santos shares will be short-lived. He describes it as "healthy" and as a precursor to the next leg up.

The Wizard has informed us he at present does not own shares in the company.
