WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil market went sideways on Friday, but eventually found enough support to break above $43. However, as I continue to watch the market during the day, looks as if we are getting ready to roll over yet again. It looks as if the market is attracted to the $43 level in general, and I think that selling off is probably what we are about to see again. There is a huge oversupply of crude oil out there, and that should continue to work against the value of WTI going forward. Even if we did rally from here, I would simply look at this is an opportunity to take advantage of rallies and push lower on the longer-term trend. I have no interest in buying this market in the near term.

Brent

Brent markets went sideways for most of the day, and then drop down to the $45 level. That area offered enough support, and we turned around to rally towards the $45.70 level. We pull back from there, and it looks likely that the market continues to be volatile but I think given enough time we should have and I selling opportunity. This would be especially true near the $46 handle. A breakdown below the $45 level would send this market to much lower levels, as we most certainly have a serious problem with demand.

I am more than willing to short this market every time it rallies and show signs of exhaustion, as the US dollar has been reasonably strong and of course there has been a major problem when it comes to economies around the world, so having said that I am bearish and will continue to be as the oil markets have been so negative.
