Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Thursday


With 4 hours MACD crossed below signal line, an intraday top is in place at 77.68 and bias is turned neutral. With 78.04 resistance intact, we're still favoring the case that whole decline from 83.95 is not finished. Below 72.60 minor support will suggest that recovery from 69.50 has completed and will flip intraday bias back tot he downside for 69.50 and then 68.59 support next. However, note that decisive break of 78.04 resistance will dampen this view and argue that fall from 83.95 has completed and will bring stronger rally to retest this high.

In the bigger picture, prior break of medium term trend line support added some credence to the case of reversal. Medium term rise from 33.2, which is treated as a correction to fall from 147.27, should have completed at 83.95 already, on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Current fall from 83.95 should extend through 68.59 support towards next key cluster level at 58.32 (50% retracement of 33.2 to 83.95 at 58.58). Decisive break there will strongly suggest that whole decline from 147.27 is resuming for a new low below 33.2. On the upside, break of 78.04 resistance is needed to confirm that fall from 83.95 has completed. Otherwise, outlook will remain bearish.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.
