The WTI Crude Oil market fell apart on Tuesday again, slicing below the $46 level. This is due to a serious lack of demand by refiners in Texas who obviously have bigger issues. Because of this, the WTI Crude Oil market will be soft for a while, and now we start to focus on the fact that there is going to be a huge oversupply in the reduction chain. Ultimately, I don’t like crude oil anyway and I think that the sellers will continue to come out. There will probably be a bounce, but that should only be a selling opportunity going forward. I suspect that the market may go looking for the $45 level given enough time, and that the $47.50 level should be resistance. With that being the case, I think that it is only a matter of time before sellers will take over any time we see remotely bullish action.
Brent markets fell during the day and have been choppy ever since. The $51.50 level has offered a bit of support, but I think it’s likely that we will break down below there given enough time. After all, we had a bounce recently, but it wasn’t overly convincing, as we stalled near the $52.20 level. I believe that given enough time we should continue to see volatility, and I also think that the $52.50 level should be a bit of a ceiling in the market. I don’t have any interest in buying, and I believe that every time we rally you should be looking for exhaustion to start shorting again. I believe that the market is probably going down to the $50 level again, and test that area to try to break down significantly.
