Crude Oil Technical Update - 80.00 Support Holds On Early Weakness Today


An early rally attempt on Wednesday by the December 14 crude oil contract stalled at 10 day moving average resistance topping out at a 83.15 early morning high.

As resistance held, the market tipped back lower into the close with the November contract losing 1.97 (2.3%) to settle at 80.52.

The trend remains down with the current overnight low of 80.05 being the first area of support followed by last week’s 79.10 low.  A drop under 79.10 support would turn the 77.28 weekly low from June 2012 into the next downside support.

The 10 day moving average is primary resistance today at 82.20.  A breakout above this average and Tuesday’s 83.26 weekly high could be an indication a market low is in place.

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