Crude Oil, Commodities Fall on Fed Rate Speculation

Crude oil was lower overnight as it extends the decline off October's high. Stochastics and the RSI are bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

If January extends the decline off October's high, the 75% retracement level of this fall's rally crossing at 70.23 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 77.78 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.

Monday's pivot point, our line in the sand is 76.07

First resistance is the 10 day moving average crossing at 76.65.
Second resistance is the 20 day moving average crossing at 77.78.

First support is the reaction low crossing at 72.39.
Second support is the 75% retracement level of this fall's rally crossing at 70.23.

What do all market wizards have in common?

Natural gas was higher due to short covering overnight as it consolidates some of last week's decline. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold and are turning neutral hinting that a short term low might be in or is near.
