Crude Oil Technical Outlook For Friday Morning


Crude oil's rebound resumed after brief retreat and reached as high as 79.29 so far. The break of 78.04 resistance argues that fall from 83.95 has completed with three waves down to 69.50 already. Further rise is now in favor to retest this high first. On the downside, below 76.32 minor support will turn intraday bias neutral. Further break of 72.66 support will in turn indicate that rebound from 69.50 is finished and revive the case that fall from 83.95 is still in progress for another low below 69.50.

In the bigger picture, crude oil was supported above 68.59 and the stronger than expected rebound from 69.50 mixed up the outlook. Fall from 83.95 could have completed already and whole medium term rise from 33.2 might be set to resume. Nevertheless, even in case of another rise, we'd still expect strong resistance as crude oil approaches 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24 to conclude the medium term rebound from 33.2. Hence, focus will remain on reversal signal.

On the downside, break of 69.50 will revive the case that 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. Further break of 68.50 will confirm and target next key cluster level at 58.32 (50% retracement of 33.2 to 83.95 at 58.58).....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.
