Crude oil markets rallied again during the day on Wednesday after showing signs of stability over the last couple of sessions. We have used a major uptrend line to rally in the WTI grade, so it makes sense that the buyers have come back in.

WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil market has rallied significantly during the trading session, gaining over 2% after walking along the uptrend line. The market should continue to go higher as the longer-term uptrend has held, and therefore I think short-term pullbacks will be buying opportunities that you can take advantage of. I think that we will go looking towards the $70 level next, and then perhaps break above there given enough time. I think that it’s only a matter time before we find buyers on these dips, as it will bring in the value hunters now that we have seen a surge higher and a definite attitude adjustment.

Brent

Brent markets exploded to the upside, gaining even more than the WTI markets as buyers came back in force. The $75 level underneath has offered support, and it now looks as if the buyers are starting to take advantage of value pricing yet again. Given enough time, I believe that the market will probably go looking towards the $80 level above, which is massive resistance. Short-term pullbacks should be buying opportunities, so I like the idea of picking up value when it shows itself, as we have clearly changed the overall attitude that we have seen over the last several days. I believe that the $75 level should offer a “floor” in the market now, and that you can add every time the market makes a “higher high” on the short-term charts. I do expect the $80 level offer a lot of resistance though.
