Crude Oil Technical Update - 80.00 Support Broken Overnight


The November 14 crude oil contract on Wednesday was able to rally off support at the 80.00 level to close the day nearly unchanged settling at 81.78, down 6 cents.

Yesterday’s recovery was short-lived as sellers have come back in overnight briefly dropping the November contract below the 80.00 level with a current 79.78 low. 

With 80.00 support broken, the next downside support from the weekly chart is a 77.28 low set in June 2012 followed by 74.95-75.71 which were weekly lows from Fall 2011.

The mid-70.00 area has been a weekly low support area dating back to 2010.  There is a good chance this area may be a price level the market stabilizes, at least temporarily, after a near free fall from the June price highs.

Technical Indicators:  Moving Average Alignment – Bearish
                                         Long Term Trend Following Index – Bearish
                                         Short Term Trend Following Index - Bearish
