WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil market went back and forth during the day on Tuesday, using the $54 level as a bit of a magnet. I believe that the market is trying to build up enough momentum to continue to go higher, perhaps reaching towards the $55 level above. The $55 level above continues to be massively resistive, but if we were to break above there the market should then go to the $60 level next. I think that we need to build up enough momentum to finally break out, and it’s likely that we could pull back. The $52.50 level should be a bit of a “floor” in the market, but if we were to break down below there, the market then drops significantly, perhaps reaching down to the $50 handle. The overall attitude of the marketplace should continue to be bullish, but with the recent explosion to the upside, we may need to build momentum.

Most of the hedgies I talk to are throwing money at oil. The $60 level underneath in the brand market should be a bit of a “floor”, as we go higher. However, if we were to break down below that level it’s likely we will test the $58.50 level underneath. Overall, I think that we do have some bullishness ahead, but there comes a point where the American start flooding the market. The market breaking to the upside could go to the $62.50 level, which of course has a certain amount of psychological resistance built in. Overall, I believe that short-term pullbacks are buying opportunities, but probably for short-term charts only. The likelihood of volatility continues, so therefore keep your position size smaller, as it keeps the danger in trading this market down a bit.
