Crude Oil and Gold Market Commentary For Monday Evening Sept. 19th

The October crude oil contract was immediately on the defensive when it opened today and moved down to the key $85.00 support level. This is a very important area for this market and we would view a close below $85.00 as a very negative sign for crude oil. This would break a support trendline that began on August 9th.

We do not think that the crude oil market is ready to go higher, based on our long term monthly Trade Triangle which remains negative. The $90 a barrel resistance continues to stop this market on the upside. Look for crude oil to continue to move in a sideways to lower manner.

Crude oil closed lower on Monday and below August's uptrend line crossing near 86.62. The low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought, diverging and are turning bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

Closes below last Monday's low crossing at 85.17 would confirm an end to the corrective rally off August's low while opening the door for a larger degree decline into the end of September. Closes above the May-July downtrend line crossing near 91.86 would confirm an end to this summer's decline. First resistance is last Tuesday's high crossing at 90.60. Second resistance is the May-July downtrend line crossing near 91.86. First support is last Monday's low crossing at 85.17. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 83.47.

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Negative
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Positive
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score = – 75

The gold bulls have to be disappointed with today’s market action even though the longer term trend for gold remains positive. We still believe that the $1,750 area is important support for spot gold. Providing that our monthly and weekly Trade Triangles remain intact, we want to approach this market from the long side.

The Williams % R is once again in an oversold condition. The $1,840 level is resistance for gold at the moment. Support comes in around the $1,775 and extends all the way down to $1,750. Intermediate and long term traders should maintain long positions with the appropriate money management stops in place.

December gold closed lower on Monday as it consolidates below the 20 day moving average. The low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

If December extends this month's decline, the reaction low crossing at 1705.40 is the next downside target. If December renews this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside target are hard to project. First resistance is this month's high crossing at 1920.70. First support is last Friday's low crossing at 1765.40. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 1705.40.

Federal Reserve Statements Give Bulls the Upside Momentum

Crude oil closed up $1.49 a barrel at $88.76 today. Prices closed near the session high today and hit a fresh three week high as the bulls gained some more upside technical momentum today. Prices have been trending higher for three weeks. Today, the crude market got a boost when a U.S. Federal Reserve governor hinted at more quantitative easing, which would be bullish for commodities.

Natural gas closed up 8.4 cents at $3.914 today. Prices closed near the session high today and did hit another fresh contract low early on. Short covering in a bear market was featured. Bears still have the solid near term technical advantage. The next upside price breakout objective for the bulls is closing prices above solid technical resistance at last week's high of $4.024.

Gold futures closed up $37.40 an ounce at $1,829.00 today. Prices closed nearer the session high today and saw bargain hunting and some fresh safe haven buying interest after a U.S. Federal Reserve Board governor said he wanted aggressive easing of monetary policy by the Fed and was worried about the U.S. economic recovery.

The gold bulls have made a strong recovery from last week's spike low on the daily chart, to suggest last week's low will become a "reaction low" on the daily bar chart. If prices can continue to work sideways to higher in the near term, then bulls would gain confidence the uptrend on the daily chart has been restarted.

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.

Just Three More Days To The Debt Deadline and What is Warren Buffetts Solution?

Just three more days to the debt deadline. I’m guessing that it is an artificial deadline made up for political reasons. I am positive that this is just an arbitrary date that some policy wonk came up with to get everyone up in arms about doing something with the debt.

I believe Warren Buffett had the best idea on how to end our debt problems. Here is what Warren had to say: “I could end the deficit in five minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.” Way to go Warren!!!

Well, we have made it to the last day of the trading week and the last day of the trading month. The equity markets are, as of this writing, sharply lower for the week and also the month. Gold and Silver on the other hand, are sharply higher for the week and the month.

As we have been indicating, we felt the equity markets were rolling over to the downside. Technically we are getting closer to pulling the trigger on our major monthly Trade Triangle which sets the trend for the equity markets.

Now let’s take a look at what the markets are telling us and the direction they’re taking on this last trading day of the month.

S&P 500

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Negative
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score = – 70
Looking at the monthly S&P 500 index chart, a close around current levels would be the lowest close we’ve seen in this index for the past 6 months. The monthly PSAR comes in at 1256. As we have stated many times before, this is a line in the sand level that if broken would indicate further downside action.

SILVER (SPOT)

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Positive
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score = + 85
Silver is closing out the month with a gain of over 15%. The action continues to be positive and we expect this market to trade to the $43 level basis the spot market.

GOLD (SPOT)

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Positive
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Positive
Combined Strength of Trend Score = + 100
In July, gold moved up over 8% and in doing so hit new all-time highs against the US dollar. The trend remains positive with all of our Trade Triangles positive and we have an intermediate target zone between $1640 and $1650.

CRUDE OIL (SEPTEMBER)

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Negative
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Positive
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score = – 75
For the month of July, crude oil closed essentially unchanged. We still feel that this market is building an energy field to move higher. We want to closely watch this market in the coming days and weeks and look for a turn to the upside.

DOLLAR INDEX

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Positive
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Negative
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Positive
Combined Strength of Trend Score = – 55
The dollar index was essentially flat during the month of July with a loss of 0.62%. For the last four months, this index has been moving sideways unable to break out of its trading range. Eventually you will see this change and a stronger trend developing.

REUTERS/JEFFERIES CRB COMMODITY INDEX

Monthly Trade Triangles for Long Term Trends = Negative
Weekly Trade Triangles for Intermediate Term Trends = Positive
Daily Trade Triangles for Short Term Trends = Negative
Combined Strength of Trend Score = – 75

One of the reasons we eye this particular index so carefully and closely is because it is the indicator of inflation and deflation. In the month of July, this index closed up over 1%. The 350 level is the key level down to watch on the upside.

Merry Christmas Crude Oil Bulls...From President Obama!

Is the second term of the Clinton presidency back? Even Bill couldn't have timed a better trade as President Obama let's it be known that he is willing to extend the Bush era tax breaks for an extension of unemployment benefits. This as our world currency [crude oil of course] hovers around the most critical level of 90+ a barrel. Is $90 our new support number? Is $100 a barrel in the cards in December? The rest of the week and especially Fridays close will tell us a lot, but for now here is your support, resistance and pivot numbers for Tuesdays trading.

Crude oil was higher overnight as it extends the rally off last week's low. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If January extends the rally off last week's low, the 87% retracement level of May's decline crossing at 90.62 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 84.34 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is the overnight high crossing at 90.46
Second resistance is the 87% retracement level of May's decline crossing at 90.62

Crude oil pivot point for Tuesday morning is 89.23

First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 86.23
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 85.34

Natural gas was higher overnight as it extends the rally off November's low. Stochastics and the RSI are diverging but have turned bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If January extends the rally off November's low, the 38% retracement level of the June-November decline crossing at 4.654 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 4.271 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is the overnight high crossing at 4.545
Second resistance is the 38% retracement level of the June-November decline crossing at 4.654

Natural gas pivot point for Tuesday morning is 4.471

First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 4.357
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 4.271

Gold was higher overnight as it continues to rebound off the mid November low. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If March extends this year's rally into uncharted territory, upside targets will now be hard to project. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 1380.30 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is the overnight high crossing at 1429.40.
Second resistance is at 1438.10

Gold pivot point for Tuesday morning is 1418.40

First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 1390.00.

Stock Market and Commodities Commentary For Tuesday Evening Oct. 19th

The U.S. stock indexes closed solidly lower today and were pressured by profit taking from recent gains and on news that Bank of America is in some trouble with its mortgage financing. The stock index bulls still have the overall near term technical advantage as price uptrends are still in place on the daily bar charts. Stock index bulls have been very pleased with price action so far this autumn a time which is normally not favorable to market bulls. My bias is that prices will trade mostly sideways, but with a slight upside bias, into the end of the year.

Crude oil closed down $3.44 at $79.64 a barrel today. Prices closed near the session low today and hit a fresh three week low. Chart damage was inflicted today as prices saw a bearish downside "breakout" from a sideways trading range at higher price levels. Sharp gains in the U.S. dollar index and lower stock index future prices today pressured crude.

Natural gas closed up 8.8 cents at $3.519 today. Prices closed near the session high today and saw short covering in a bear market. Prices hit a fresh contract low early on today. The bears still have the solid overall near term technical advantage.

Gold futures closed down $35.20 at $1,337.00 today. Prices today hit a fresh two week low, closed near the session low and were pressured by sharp gains in the U.S. dollar index. Profit taking and long liquidation were featured in gold today, and no serious chart damage occurred. However, good follow through selling pressure on Wednesday would likely produce some near term technical damage to begin to suggest that a near term market top is in place. Bulls are hoping bargain hunters once again step in to buy weakness in the gold market.

The U.S. dollar index closed up 138 points at 78.52 today. Prices closed near the session high today and hit a fresh two week high. News that China raised a key interest rate today boosted the greenback. Dollar index bears still have the overall near term technical advantage, but the bulls did gain fresh upside momentum today to suggest that a market low is in place.

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 Weekly Technical Outlook From Oil n Gold

Crude oil edged high to 78.04 last week but was limited below mentioned 61.8% retracement of 82.97 to 70.76 at 78.31 and reversed. The break of 73.88 minor support indicates that whole recovery from 70.76 is likely completed. Initial bias is mildly on the downside this week for a retest on 70.76 support first. Sustained trading below 70.76/71.09 support zone will confirm our bearish view that whole rebound from 64.23 is finished at 82.97 already and target another low below 64.23. On the upside, above 75.25 minor resistance will turn intraday bias neutral and bring recovery. But we'll stay bearish as long as 78.31 fibo resistance holds.

In the bigger picture, choppy rebound from 64.23 is treated as a correction to fall from 87.15 only and has possibly finished at 82.97 already. Decisive break of 71.09 will confirm this bearish case and also indicate that whole fall from 87.15 is resuming for 60 psychological level, (50% retracement of 33.2 to 87.15 at 60.18, 100% projection of 87.15 to 64.23 from 82.97 at 60.05). Decisive break there will indicate that fall from 87.15 is developing into a powerful impulsive wave and would target 33.2 low. On the upside, break of 82.97 resistance is needed to invalidate this view. Otherwise, we'll stay bearish in crude oil.

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. Our view is that fall from 87.15 would develop into the third falling leg of the whole correction from 147.27 and hence, we'd anticipate an eventual break of 33.2 low in the long term as such correction extends.

Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. If July extends the rally off May's low, the 62% retracement level of last month's decline crossing at 81.13 is the next upside target.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook Wednesday Morning

Intraday bias in crude oil remains neutral for the moment. Break of 71.23 minor support will indicate that rebound from 64.23 is finished and will flip intraday bias back to the downside for retesting this low first. On the upside, above 75.72 will bring another rise, but after all, upside should be limited by 61.8% retracement of 87.15 to 64.23 at 78.39 and bring fall resumption.

In the bigger picture, prior break of 68.59/69.50 support zone affirms our view that whole medium term rebound from 33.2 has completed at 87.15 already, just ahead of 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24. Further decline should be seen to 50% retracement of 33.2 to 87.15 at 60.18 at least. Also, as rebound from 33.2 is viewed as as a correction to the whole correction that started at 2008 at 147.27, we'd anticipate a break of 33.2 low in the longer term. On the upside, break of resistance at 78 level is needed to be indicate that fall from 87.15 is completed. Otherwise, we'll stay bearish......Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.

Crude Oil Technical Outlook For Tuesday Morning

Intraday bias in crude oil remains neutral for the moment as consolidations from 74.51 is still in progress. Some more sideway trading cannot be ruled out. But after all, even in case of another rise, upside should be limited by double top neck line (80.53) and 4 hours 55 EMA (now at 80.08) and bring fall resumption. On the downside, break of 74.51 will target 69.50 key support next.

In the bigger picture, as noted before, 33.20 is viewed as a correction to the whole correction that started at 2008 at 147.27. Such rise might have completed at 87.15 already, ahead of 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24. 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.

Did You Pull the Trigger on The Dow?

We have been concerned for some time that the market was in a rotational phase and that some key levels were being tested on the upside. The yesterday's action, Tuesday, can only be viewed one way, and that is negative. We do not expect this market to make a miraculous recovery to new highs and would not be surprised if we have seen the highs for the year.

In today's short video on the Dow, we look at potential downside targets that this market may be headed for. One of the key things to remember in trading, and this applies to all markets, is perception. This is why technical analysis plays such an important part in detecting shifts in market perceptions. Our "Trade Triangles" have done extraordinarily well in this environment.

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.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Tuesday

Crude oil's recovery from 72.60 extended further today and the development argues that rebound from 69.50 is not completed yet. Intraday bias is cautiously on the upside for the moment. Break of 75.69 resistance will bring stronger rise towards 78.04 resistance next. As noted before, break there will argue that whole fall from 83.95 has finished and will bring even stronger rally. On the downside, though, below 72.60 will flip intraday bias back to the downside for 69.50 support.

In the bigger picture, prior break of medium term trend line support added some credence to the case of reversal.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Monday

Intraday bias in crude oil remains neutral for the moment. As noted before, recovery from 69.50 might have completed at 75.69 already. Break of 72.60 will affirm this case and flip intraday bias back to the downside for 69.50 support first. Break will confirm resumption of the whole fall from 83.95 towards next key support at 68.59. On the upside, above 75.69 will turn focus to 78.04 minor resistance. Break there will argue that whole fall from 83.95 has finished and will bring stronger rebound instead.

In the bigger picture, prior break of medium term trend line support added much 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.

Crude Oil Technical Outlook For Wednesday Morning

Crude oil's rebound from 69.50 extends further and further rally cannot be ruled out. Nevertheless, there is no confirmation of reversal yet as long as 78.04 resistance holds. Below 71.3 minor support will suggest that recovery from 69.50 has completed and flip intraday bias back to the down side for retesting this support first. However, break of 78.04 will argue that whole fall from 83.95 has finished and will bring stronger rebound instead.

In the bigger picture, prior break of medium term trend line support added much 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.

Decisive break there will strongly suggest that whole decline from 147.27 is resuming for a new low below 33.2.

Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Tuesday

With 4 hours MACD crossed above signal line, intraday bias in crude oil is turned neutral for the moment. Some more consolidations cannot be ruled out but upside should be limited by 73.94 resistance and bring fall resumption. Below 69.50 will target 100% projection of 83.95 to 72.43 from 78.04 at 66.52 next. However, break of 73.94 will argue that stronger rebound is underway and will put focus back to 78.04 resistance instead.
