Bearish Digestion Period for Crude Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Mike_Paulenoff

My technicals keep warning me that crude oil hit a significant peak at $114.83 on May 2 and since then has embarked on a major correction that is only partially complete. In fact, all of the sideways, recovery action off of its May 6 corrective low at $94.63 represents a bearish rest-digestion period that should resolve itself to the downside in a plunge that projects to 90.00-86.00, and then to 80.00-78.00 thereafter.

Investors Window of Opportunity For Big Crude Oil Profits / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Money_Morning

Kent Moors, Ph.D. writes: The volatility in the oil market has notched up this week, courtesy of another bout with debt jitters in Europe. Oil and gasoline futures are moving down - and most of the energy sector along with them.

In a situation like the current European debt mess - where maximum uncertainty is channeled into a very focused concern - oil futures will generally overcompensate, exaggerating the downside.

Bearish Outlook for Crude Oil / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Last Wednesday we told subscribers that the day's upmove in WTI crude oil futures from $95 to $101 was not the start of a new upleg. We noted that the pattern exhibited on the daily chart since the May 7 at $94.63 to Wednesday's high at $100.99 resembled a bear flag formation much more than a significant bottom. It had the look of a digestion-consolidation pattern in the lower quadrant of the larger downleg from May 2's $113.97.

Three Reasons to Believe in Crude Oil $100 / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Frank_Holmes

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleAfter selling off nearly 14 percent the previous week, oil prices finished last week slightly higher at $99.65 per barrel. While the end result was a net positive, the volatility continued. Oil prices per barrel reached $104, then fell to around $96, before nesting just below $100.

As an investor, this volatility can be difficult to handle. Throw in the uncertainty of today’s geopolitical environment, and investors feel the need to downsize their positions in commodity investments, such as oil.

Correction Ended for Crude Oil and USO ETF / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Despite commodity bashing by Goldman Sachs again this morning, oil prices remain relatively buoyant.

Right now my pattern and momentum work in the U.S. Oil Fund ETF (USO) indicate that a significant correction ended at Wednesday's low at 42.10. They also indicate that current strength represents the initiation of a new upleg in an incomplete larger bull move that projects to another new high in the days directly ahead.

Crude Oil Near 3 Year High As Unrest Persists in the Middle East / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Marin_Katusa

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleBy Marin Katusa, Casey Research : With the civil war in Libya now entering its third week, Egypt moving haltingly towards free elections, and hundreds dead in Syria, Yemen and Bahrain after a month of anti-government protests in each country, the Middle East is rife with instability. On Wednesday, April 6, that instability pushed the spot price of Brent oil above US$123 per barrel, a high not seen since August 2008 when prices were crashing from an all-time peak of US$147.50 on the eve of the financial crisis.

Crude Oil Set to Break $150 by Mid Summer / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Money_Morning

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleJason Simpkins writes: Money Morning predicted in its 2011 Outlook series that oil prices would see $100 a barrel by summer. And that's proven to be true - but not entirely for the reasons we discussed.

In addition to the increased demand we talked about in January, violence in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has driven oil prices into the stratosphere. The price of light, sweet crude climbed above $112 a barrel last week, up more than 22% from where it started the year.

How to Profit if the Nigeria Elections Drive Up Oil Prices / Commodities / Crude Oil

By: Money_Morning

Jon D. Markman writes: Oil prices are on the rise for a bevy of reasons - soaring demand in emerging markets, the weak dollar, and a strengthening U.S. recovery, to name a few.

However, supply disruptions and civil unrest in the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region in recent months have had the biggest impact on oil prices. Egypt, Libya and Yemen have all played a part in driving up oil prices, and now they're about to be joined by another volatile oil producer.

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIn early March, White House Chief of Staff Bill Daley told NBC that the Administration was considering releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) if it deems the high oil prices would threaten the U.S. economic recovery.

President Obama, in a press conference on March 11, also reiterated that a plan to tap the SPR was "teed up" and said he would move quickly should ‘conditions’ worsen. However, the President refused to say what price could trigger a release.
