WTI Crude Oil
The WTI Crude Oil market fell apart during trading on Tuesday, reaching down towards the $60.25 handle. By doing so, we tested a significant amount of support, and as I record this looks as if the buyers are trying to make some type of stand. With that in mind, I think more consolidation is ahead, but if we were to break down below the $60 level, I feel that the market will probably go towards the $58 level under there. Lots of volatility in the market during the trading hours have had traders very nervous.

Brent
Brent markets of course acted the same way, slicing through the $64.50 level, but found a bit of support at the $64 handle. I think that the market will probably continue to go back and forth and use the $65 level as a bit of a magnet for price, but longer-term I believe that the 63.50 level underneath is the “floor” in the current range. If we were to break down below there, then we will probably unwind. Until then, I anticipate that we may get a bit of a bounce after this knee-jerk reaction. Expect a lot of volatility in this market, but that’s nothing new for energy traders as we continue to see a lot of issues surrounding not only supply, but currency headwinds and the like. In general, I believe that this market will continue to be a difficult environment.
