Crude Oil Technical Update - Still Looking For A Bottom


The crude oil market remains technically weak but has been consolidating over the past 3 sessions above 64.00-65.00 weekly chart support.

The January 15 contract held in a fairly narrow 1.43 daily price range on Wednesday closing the session up .50 to settle at 67.38.

64.00-65.00 extending down to Monday’s 63.72 spike low remains primary support in upcoming trade.  A drop under 63.72 would turn 58.00-59.00 into the next longer term support.

69.50-70.00 is the first resistance area followed by the 10 day moving average at 71.15.  As long as the January contract trades under  the 10 day average as it has since late-October, the bears will remain in control.  A close back over this average could be an early indication the trend is turning back higher.

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