Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook


Crude oil edged higher to 83.16 last week but upside was again limited by loss of momentum. Nevertheless, there is no confirmation of topping yet with 80.16 minor support intact and current rally from 69.50 could still continue to retest 83.95 high. On the downside, however, note that break of 80.16 will indicate that a short term top is already in place and deeper fall should then be seen to 38.2% retracement of 69.50 to 83.16 at 77.94 next.

In the bigger picture, crude oil is still trading well inside medium term rising channel and the rise from 33.2 might still be in progress. Nevertheless, as such rise from 33.2 is treated as a correction to whole decline from 147.27 only, even in case of another high above 83.95, we'd continue to expect strong resistance near to 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24 to bring reversal. On the downside, though, break of 69.50 support will now indicate that crude oil has topped out in medium term already and turn outlook bearish.

In the long term picture, there is no change in the view that fall from 147.27 is part of the correction to the five wave sequence from 98 low of 10.65. While the rebound from 33.2 is strong and might continue, there is no solid evidence that suggest fall 147.27 is completed and we're still preferring the case that rebound from 33.2 is merely a corrective rise only. Having said that, strong resistance should be seen between 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone and bring reversal for another low below 33.2 before completing the whole correction from 147.27.....
