WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil will be awaiting the Baker Hughes Oil Rig Count today, the as we approach the $52.50 handle. This is an area that I expect to see significant resistance, but if we can break above there solidly, the market is probably ready to go to the $55 level next. Pullbacks will more than likely find support below at the $52 region, and I think that the volatility will probably continue to push this and upward manner. However, if we were to break down below the $51.75 level, at that point I would expect the market to roll over a bit, perhaps dropping down to the $51 handle. Recently though, it seems as if the buyers are very resilient, and I think that leads to higher pricing.

Brent

Brent markets have broken above the $58.50 level again, and are struggling with the same resistance barrier that we had seen during the Wednesday session. However, I think it’s only a matter of time before we break out to the upside, and go looking towards the $60 level next. That’s an area that should cause a bit of resistance, both structurally and psychologically. I think that longer-term, markets will continue to favor the buyers, at least until we get to the $60 level. A break above there would be extraordinarily bullish, and I believe that the Baker Use numbers coming out today could be a catalyst to push us to the upside.

If we were to pull back from here, I think the $58 level should be thought of as a bit of a floor in the market, and is not until we break down below there that I would become concerned with the bullish momentum. Currently, I am much more comfortable long that I am short of this market.
