Nymex Crude Oil (CL)
At this point, intraday bias in crude oil remains on the upside with 75.18 minor support intact. Rise from 72.23 is still in favor to continue. Break of 80.51 resistance will indicate that choppy consolidations from 82.0 has completed already and the medium term rally could be resuming for 82.0 and beyond. On the downside, below 75.18 will flip intraday bias back to the downside for trend line support at 70.97.
In the bigger picture, the lack of follow through selling and the choppy price actions from 82.0 so far dampen our bearish view. Instead, the corrective natural of the fall from 82.0 to 72.39 suggests that it's merely consolidation in the medium term rise. That is, rally from 33.2 is possibly not completed yet and a break of 80.51 will affirm this bullish case. Nevertheless, as we expect such rise to conclude inside resistance zone of 76.77/90.24 (38.2% and 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2), focus will remain on loss of momentum and reversal signal even in case of another rise.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.
Nymex Natural Gas (NG)
Outlook in natural gas remains unchanged. Recent price actions should be consolidations to rise from 2.409 only and hence, we'd continue to anticipate an upside break out sooner or later. Above 5.318 will confirm that whole rebound from 2.409 has resumed and should target 61.8% projection of 2.409 to 5.318 from 4.157 at 5.955 next.
In the bigger picture, medium term fall from 13.69 is treated as part of the long term consolidation pattern that started at 15.78 back in 2005. Further will now remain in favor as long as 4.157 support holds, towards 38.2% retracement of 13.694 to 2.409 at 6.72 and beyond. Nevertheless, break of 4.157 support will indicate dampen this bullish case and turn outlook mixed again.....Nymex Natural Gas Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart .
