ONG: Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook Saturday June 23rd

Gold and Silver on the Verge of Something Spectacular

From the staff at ONG......

Crude oil's decline resumed last week and dropped to as low as 77.56 before recovering mildly. As long as 84.34 resistance holds, deeper fall is still expected for 74.95 key support next. Though, we'd start to look for reversal signal below there. Meanwhile, break of 84.34 will argue that a short term bottom is at least formed, with bullish convergence condition in 4 hours MACD. In such case, stronger rebound should be seen back to 90 psychological level.

In the bigger picture, price actions from 114.84 are developing into a three wave consolidation pattern with fall from 110.55 as the third leg. Deeper fall should eventually be seen to 74.95 low and possibly below. Though, we'd likely see strong support from 64.23 cluster level, 61.8% retracement of 33.20 to 114.83 at 64.38 and bring another medium term rise. Hence we'll look for reversal signal below 74.95.

In the long term picture, crude oil is in a long term consolidation pattern from 147.27, with first wave completed at 33.2. The corrective structure of the rise from 33.2 indicates that it's second wave of the consolidation pattern. While it could make another high above 114.83, we'd anticipate strong resistance ahead of 147.24 to bring reversal for the third leg of the consolidation pattern.

ONG: Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook

Crude oil rose to as high as 103.37 last week but failed to sustain above 100 psychological level and retreated. A short term top should be formed and initial bias is mildly on the downside for deeper pull back towards 94.65 support. Nevertheless, downside is expected to be contained by 89.16/17 cluster support (50% retracement of 74.95 to 103.37) and bring rebound. On the upside, above 100.15 minor resistance will turn bias neutral and bring consolidations. But break of 103.37 resistance is needed to confirm rally resumption. Otherwise, we'll stay near term neutral and expect more sideway trading first.

In the bigger picture, current development indicates the fall from 114.83 has finished at 74.95. The structure suggests it's merely a correction or part of a consolidation pattern. Hence, rise from 33.2 is not finished yet. As long as 89.16/7 support holds, we'd now favor a break of 114.83 resistance to resume the rally from 33.2. Meanwhile, break of 64.23 support is needed to confirm completion of the whole rise from 33.2. Otherwise, we'll continue to stay bullish in crude oil.

In the long term picture, crude oil is in a long term consolidation pattern from 147.27, with first wave completed at 33.2. The corrective structure of the rise from 33.2 indicates that it's second wave of the consolidation pattern. While it could make another high above 114.83, we'd anticipate strong resistance ahead of 147.24 to bring reversal for the third leg of the consolidation pattern.

ONG: Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook

Crude oil's rise from 74.95 continued last week and reached as high as 99.20 and is picking up intraday upside momentum again towards the end of the week. Bias will continue to remain on the upside for 100 psychological level, which is close to 61.8% retracement of 114.83 to 74.95 at 99.60 and 100.62 resistance. Sustained break there will target 114.83 resistance next. However, note that a break of 95.29 minor support will suggest that a short term top is formed and flip bias back to the downside. Further break of 89.17 support will indicate completion of the rise from 74.95 and should turn outlook bearish for a test on this support level.

In the bigger picture, the choppy corrective structure indicates that price actions from 114.83 are merely a correction, or part of a consolidation pattern to decline from 114.83. Such decline should have completed at 74.95 after being supported above 50% retracement of 33.2 to 114.83 at 74.02. That is, rise from 33.2 is not finished yet. Sustained trading above 100 psychological level will affirm this case and would likely send crude oil through 114.83 high. On the downside, break of 74.95 will revive the case that rise form 33.2 is already finished at 114.83 and will turn outlook bearish.

In the long term picture, crude oil is in a long term consolidation pattern from 147.27, with first wave completed at 33.2. The corrective structure of the rise from 33.2 indicates that it's second wave of the consolidation pattern. While it could make another high above 114.83, we'd anticipate strong resistance ahead of 147.24 to bring reversal for the third leg of the consolidation pattern.

Oil N' Gold: Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Wednesday Sept. 28th

The staff at Oil N Gold has been sticking to their long term Fibonacci numbers and it has served them well. What are they saying this morning......

Crude oil's recovery from 77.11 temporary low might extend further high. But in any case, we'll stay bearish as long as 90.52 resistance holds. We are still favoring the case that whole decline from 114.83 is ready to resume and break of 77.11 should send crude oil through 75.71 support to 70 psychological level next.

In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 33.2 is treated as the second leg of consolidation pattern from 147.24 and should have finished at 114.83 already. Current decline should target next key cluster support at 64.23 (61.8% retracement of 33.2 to 114.83 at 64.38) next. Sustained break will pave the way to retest 33.2 low. On the upside, break of 90.52 resistance is needed to invalidate this view or we'll stay bearish in crude oil now.

Oil N Gold: Crude Oil and Gold Weekly Technical Outlook

Here is your weekend Technical outlook for crude oil and gold from the traders at Oil N Gold. Com......



Crude Oil
Crude oil's corrective rise from 75.71 extended further last week but struggled to take out 55 days EMA. Also strong resistance around 90 psychological level. While such correction might extend, current development suggests that it should be to completion and rise attempts should be limited by near term falling trend line resistance (now at 92.3). A break of 85.00 minor support will be the first signal of resumption of fall from 114.83 and should turn bias to the downside for retesting 75.71 low first.

In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 33.2 is treated as the second leg of consolidation pattern from 147.24 and should have finished at 114.83 already. Current decline should target next key cluster support at 64.23 (61.8% retracement of 33.2 to 114.83 at 64.38) next. Sustained break will pave the way to retest 33.2 low. However, break of 100.62 resistance will indicate that fall from 114.83 has completed after meeting missing 100% projection target. The corrective structure of such decline in turn argues that rise from 33.2 is still in progress for another high above 114.83.

In the long term picture, crude oil is in a long term consolidation pattern from 147.27, with first wave completed at 33.2, second wave might be finished. Upon confirmation of medium term reversal, the third wave of the pattern should have started for a retest on 33.2 low.

Gold
Gold's choppy fall from 1923.7 extended to as low as 1765.4 last week and there is no sign of completion yet. Such decline is either consolidation to rise from 1705.4 or the third leg of the consolidation pattern from 1917.9. In either case, more choppy trading would still be seen in range of 1705.4/1923.7. But in case of deeper fall, we'd expect strong support above 1705.4 to contain downside and bring up trend resumption. Above 1923.7 should in turn send gold towards 61.8% projection of 1478.3 to 1917.9 from 1705.4 at 1977.1.

In the bigger picture, firstly, gold's long term up trend is still intact and there is no signal of reversal yet. Another record high should still be seen. But we'll be cautious on another near term reversal near to 2000 psychological level and finally bring some lengthier consolidation. Meanwhile, a break of 1705.4 will argue that gold has indeed topped out with a double top reversal pattern (1917.9, 1923.7) and in such case, deeper pull back could be seen back towards resistance turned 1577.4 support instead.

In the long term picture, rise from 681 is treated as resumption of the long term up trend from 1999 low of 253 and there is no sign of topping yet. Current up trend could now be targeting 161.8% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1945.6. Sustained trading above 2000 psychological level should pave the way to 261.8% projection at 2727.2.

Oil N Gold: Crude Oil Technical Outlook For Wednesday Morning

Crude oil's choppy recovery extends further by taking out 89.00 resistance and reaches as high as 89.21 so far. Intraday bias is back on the upside and further rise could be seen. Focus is now on 89.61 support turned resistance We'll stay bearish as long as this resistance holds and expect reversal soon. Below 82.95 will flip bias back to the downside for 75.71 support first. Break will resume whole decline from 114.83 towards 70 psychological level. However, sustained trading above 89.61 will argue that the near term trend in crude oil might have reversed and will bring stronger rebound towards 100.62 resistance instead.

In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 33.2 is treated as the second leg of consolidation pattern from 147.24 and should have finished at 114.83 already. Current decline should target next key cluster support at 64.23 (61.8% retracement of 33.2 to 114.83 at 64.38) next. Sustained break will pave the way to retest 33.2 low. However, break of 100.62 resistance will indicate that fall from 114.83 has completed after meeting missing 100% projection target. The corrective structure of such decline in turn argues that rise from 33.2 is still in progress for another high above 114.83.

Oil N Gold: Staying Bearish as Long as $89 Resistance Holds

Outlook in crude oil remains unchanged. We'll stay bearish as long as 89.00 resistance holds and expect deeper decline ahead. Below 79.17 will flip bias back to the downside for 75.71 first. Break will confirm resumption of whole fall from 114.83 and should target 70 psychological level next. On the upside, though, break of 89.00 resistance will dampen this bearish view and bring stronger rebound towards 100.62 resistance instead.

In the bigger picture, medium term rebound from 33.2 is treated as the second leg of consolidation pattern from 147.24 and should have finished at 114.83 already. Current decline should now target next key cluster support at 64.23 (61.8% retracement of 33.2 to 114.83 at 64.38). Sustained break will pave the way to retest 33.2 low. On the upside, break of 89.61 resistance is needed to be the first signal of bottoming or we'll stay bearish.

Oil N' Gold: Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook

Crude oil attempted to draw support from 4 hours 55 EMA last week but lacked decisive strength to resume recent rally. Upside was limited below 84.43 resistance as crude oil weakened again towards the end of the week. Intraday bias remains neutral. Note that there is no confirmation of reversal yet. But even in case of another rise, we'll continue to focus on reversal signal inside resistance zone of 82.97/87.15. On the downside, break of 78.04 support will indicate that rise from 70.76 is over and turn focus back to this support level.

In the bigger picture, after all, we're still favoring the case that medium term rally from 33.2 is already completed at 87.15. Recovery from 64.23 is treated as a correction and should be near to completion, if not finished. Even in case of another rise, strong resistance should be seen as crude oil enters into resistance zone of 82.97/87.15 and bring reversal. We're still expecting another fall to 60 psychological level (50% retracement of 33.2 to 87.15 at 60.18). However, decisive break of 87.15 will put focus on long term fibo level at 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24.

In the long term picture, current development suggests that rebound from 33.2 is finished at 87.15, inside 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone as expected. Price actions from 147.27 are treated as consolidation in the larger up trend and with 90.24 fibo resistance intact, a test of 33.2 eventually is in favor. Though, decisive break of 90.24 will argue that crude oil will bring stronger rally to above 100 psychological level as a relatively powerful second wave of the consolidation continues.

Crude Oil Intraday Bias is Flipped Back to the Downside


Crude oil's sharp fall from 85.63 dragged 4 hours MACD below signal line and suggests that recovery from 80.53 has completed. Intraday bias is flipped back to the downside and deeper fall should be seen towards 38.2% retracement of 69.50 to 87.09 at 80.37 or further to 100% projection of 87.09 to 80.53 from 85.63 at 79.07. On the upside, above 85.63 will bring another rise to retest 87.09 high. But after all, sustained break there is needed to confirm rally resumption. Otherwise, another fall would still be seen before consolidation from 87.09 concludes.

In the bigger picture, medium term rise from 33.20 is viewed as a correction to the whole correction that started at 2008 at 147.27. Our preferred view is that rise from 33.2 is in form of a three wave structure (73.23, 65.05, ?) and should be near to completion. Strong resistance is expected around 90 psychological level, which coincide with 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24 and 61.8% projection of 33.2 to 73.23 from 65.05 at 89.79, and bring reversal. Hence, even though another rally cannot be ruled out, upside potential should be limited. On the downside, break of 69.50 support will break the series of higher low pattern from 33.2 and will be an important indication that the trend has reversed. In such case, we'll turn bearish on crude oil and expect the then down trend to target a new low below 33.2.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Monday


Crude oil dives to as low as 80.53 today and further decline is still in favor. As discussed before, rise fro 69.50 should be over after hitting 61.8% projection of 69.50 to 83.16 from 78.56 at 87.00. Decisive break of 38.2% retracement of 69.50 to 87.09 at 80.37 will confirm this case and target 61.8% retracement at 76.22 and below. On the upside, above 83.35 will flip intraday bias back to the upside and put focus back to 87.09 high instead.

In the bigger picture, note again that medium term rise from 33.20 is viewed as a correction to the whole correction that started at 2008 at 147.27. Our preferred view is that rise from 33.2 is in form of a three wave structure (73.23, 65.05, ?) and should be near to completion. Strong resistance is expected around 90 psychological level, which coincide with 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24 and 61.8% projection of 33.2 to 73.23 from 65.05 at 89.79, and bring reversal. Hence, even though another rally cannot be ruled out, upside potential should be limited. On the downside, break of 69.50 support will break the series of higher low pattern from 33.2 and will be an important indication that the trend has reversed. In such case, we'll turn bearish on crude oil and expect the then down trend to target a new low below 33.2.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Friday


Crude oil recovers strongly after drawing support from 4 hours 55 EMA. Nevertheless, with 87.09 resistance intact, consolidation from there might be in progress and another fall cannot be ruled out. But after all, break of 78.56 support is needed to indicate that crude oil has topped. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish. Sustained trading above 86.92 will target 90 psychological level next.

In the bigger picture, the strong break of 83.95 high confirmed that medium term rally from 33.2 has resumed. Nevertheless, there is no change in the view that it's the second wave of the whole correction that started in 2008 at 147.27. Hence, 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, below 78.56 support will be the first signal of topping and will turn focus back to 69.50 support for confirmation.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Thursday Morning


Crude oil made a temporary top at 87.09 after hitting mentioned 86.92 projection target and pull back from there is still in progress. More decline could be seen towards 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 84.40) and below. But after all, break of 78.56 support is needed to indicate that crude oil has topped. Otherwise, outlook will remain bullish. Sustained trading above 86.92 will target 90 psychological level next.

In the bigger picture, the strong break of 83.95 high confirmed that medium term rally from 33.2 has resumed. Nevertheless, there is no change in the view that it's the second wave of the whole correction that started in 2008 at 147.27. Hence, 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, below 78.56 support will be the first signal of topping and will turn focus back to 69.50 support for confirmation.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Tuesday


Break of 75.04 resistance argues that a short term bottom is formed at 72.43 on bullish convergence condition in 4 hours MACD. Intraday bias is flipped back to the upside and stronger rebound should be seen towards 38.2% retracement of 83.95 to 72.43 at 76.83 first. On the downside, though, a break below 72.43 will indicate that fall from 83.95 has resumed for 68.59 key support.

In the bigger picture, the case of medium term reversal continued to build up with fall from 83.95 extended. As noted before, whole medium term rise from 33.2 is viewed as a correction to fall from 147.27 only. Break of trend line support (now at 71/72) level will be the first signal that such rise has completed. Further break of 68.59 will support will confirm this bearish case and will target a retest on 33.2 low as correction down trend from 147.27 resumes. On the upside, though, in case of another rise, crude oil we'd continue to look of reversal signal as crude oil approaches 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24, which is close to 90 psychological level.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.
