WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil market initially fell on Friday, but found enough support near the $46.50 level to turn around and rally. A line of what we are seeing is a reaction to hurricane Harvey, and potential disruptions. Ultimately, if we can break above the $47.50 level, the market should go higher. Longer-term, I think that the market should sell off again, but at this point it’s only a matter of time before you go higher. Short-term momentum continues to jump to the upside.

Brent

Brent markets continue to find plenty of support, especially near the $52.25 level. I believe that the market is ready to go higher, and when I look at the weekly charts of both of these markets, they are forming hammers. This is a sign that oil is starting to turn around again, but given enough time I expect the sellers return as we have seen time and time again.
