Waiting for Crude Oil to Reverse to the Downside


My optimal pullback target zone for the PowerShare DB Double Short Oil ETN (NYSE: DTO) is 82.00-79.00, which has been met today. However, so far the inability of the DTO to turn up with sustainability and leave little doubt that the correction off of the 7/13 high at 99.50 is complete is bothersome, and suggests perhaps that more corrective weakness is forthcoming ahead of my anticipation of a powerful upside pivot reversal.
Let’s notice that there is an unfilled gap from July 2 between 77.70 and 76.15 which might have to be satisfied.....Complete Story

Although the main focus for oil investors will be to see how successful these companies have been in coping with the subsequent dramatic fall in crude, the recent, and equally dramatic, recovery in daily oil prices will determine the scope that oil companies (and producer countries) will have to fund future investment plans.....Complete Story

Oil Rises, But Will Rally Continue?

Oil Majors Appear Poised to Test Mid Term Neutral Resistance Levels


Oil majors appear poised to test mid term neutral resistance levels as we move into a week loaded with earnings reports from the major oil companies. Crude oil closed higher on today extending the rally off this month's low. Profit taking tempered early gains and the mid range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are becoming overbought but remains bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If September extends today's rally, the reaction high crossing at 74.25 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 64.94 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is today's high crossing at 68.99
Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 74.25

First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 64.94
Second support is the reaction low crossing at 63.76

Natural gas closed lower on Monday due to light profit taking but remains above the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.706. The mid range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Tuesday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish hinting that a short term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.706 would temper the near term friendly outlook.

If September extends the rally off this month's low, the reaction high crossing at 4.261 is the next upside target.

Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 4.26

First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.71
