Crude oil's retreat was shallow and was contained 75.17. Subsequent rally indicates that rise from 64.23 is not over yet and has resumed. Initial bias remains on the upside and further rise should be seen to 80.53 next. Break will target a retest on 87.15 high. On the downside, though, break of 75.17 will argue that rebound from 64.23 is completed and will turn bias back to the downside for 69.51 support first.
In the bigger picture, the stronger than expected rebound from 64.24 dampened our bearish view and we'll stay neutral first. But still, rise from 64.24 looks corrective in nature and favors another fall after completion. A break of 69.51 support will indicate that rebound from 64.24 is finished and revive the bearish case. That is, whole medium term rise from 33.2 is finished at 87.15, just ahead of 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24. In such case, we'd see another fall to 50% retracement of 33.2 to 87.15 at 60.18 at least.
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 fro 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.....Nymex Crude Oil Continuous Contract 4 Hours Chart.

New Video: Do You Know About Market Divergences?
In the market there are two types of market divergences that can occur....a bullish divergence and a bearish divergence. Both of these divergences are important and you need to know how they work and how you can benefit from this knowledge.
In this short educational trading video, we will show you the tools we use to spot market divergences. We will be using the Relative Strength Indicator (RSI) and the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator (MACD) which was developed by our friend Gerald Appel.

Phil Flynn: Pricing In Mediocrity
Global oil markets are finding it hard to get excited living in this new post Federal Reserve World. The passion left the market place and sunk in to a kind of what might be described as a stag deflation mode. All across the yield curve, from the short end to the long, yields are sinking to near record lows. While cheap money is keeping our economy meandering along, it is not the type of drive that seems to be the type of growth that will translate into strong energy demand. What’s more, even stories that are normally bullish for oil and the products are not giving the market the support you would expect.
For example the Chinese allowed their currency, the yuan renimbi, to rise to what is called the highest level in the modern era. The Wall Street Journal reported that on the over the counter market, the dollar was at CNY6.7900 around 0930 GMT, down from Thursday's close of CNY6.7997. It traded between CNY6.7856 and NY6.7977. The low end of the range was below the previous modern-era intraday low of NY6.7958, set Monday. The yuan is up 0.53% this week. Yet not even what many thought would be a bullish move for oil has given us much play. In fact oil lost ground on the announcement.Now some say that is because the move by the Chinese was only a.....Read the entire article.

Crude Oil Advances on Concern Storm May Disrupt Gulf of Mexico Production
Crude oil rose the most in two weeks in New York on concern the first tropical storm of the hurricane season may form and disrupt production in the Gulf of Mexico. The gain accelerated as the dollar weakened against the euro. Oil climbed as much as 3.4 percent after the National Hurricane Center said that a low pressure area located in the Caribbean off Honduras and Grand Cayman has a 70 percent chance of developing into a tropical cyclone this weekend and may head into the Gulf.
“We always see knee jerk reactions when storms enter the Gulf, and there are concerns that storms will damage either offshore or onshore infrastructure,” said Addison Armstrong, director of market research at Tradition Energy in Stamford, Connecticut. Crude for August delivery gained $2.12, or 2.8 percent, to $78.63 a barrel at 1:14 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange, the biggest percentage gain since June 9. Oil rose as high as $79.11. The contract has increased 0.5 percent this week.
The euro was up 0.2 percent at $1.2355 at 1:17 p.m., after falling as low as 1.2254. A lower U.S. currency versus the euro bolsters the appeal of crude as an alternative investment. “The dollar is weakening and it seemed to give crude a little boost,” said Phil Flynn, vice president of research at PFGBest in Chicago. The low pressure area is likely to become a tropical depression before it reaches the Yucatan Peninsula, and the system may become a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours, the hurricane center said at 8 a.m. Miami time today.
About 31 percent, or 1.69 million barrels a day, of U.S. oil production comes from federal waters in the Gulf of Mexico, according to the Energy Department.....Read the entire article.

Sure, we are Trading Oil....But Forex Should not be Foreign to You....Watch New Video
It's the biggest market in the world and is traded 24 hours a day, 6 days a week, and therefore one that is impossible to ignore. I'm speaking, of course, about the forex market.
The question is, is this the tail that's wagging the dog? Meaning, is the forex market, mainly the euro, dictating the trend in American and European equity markets.
The answer is yes, for the moment it is. Now, if you're not familiar with the forex markets and the euro, you should look at the ETF FXE, the spot euro, and also the euro futures market at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), as they are all tradable.
In today's short video we show you exactly how we think this currency will play out in the future. And as always, our videos are free to watch and there is no need for registration. Please leave us a comment on your thoughts on this video and the current market.

Stochastics and the RSI are overbought and are turning bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 75.79 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

However, stochastics and the RSI are oversold and are turning bullish hinting that a short term low might be in or is near. Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 87.16 would confirm that a short term low has been posted.

Phil Flynn: Moratorium Show Down!
Well I did call Obama the Great Misleader and now I have a judge that agrees with me. Federal Judge Martin L.C. Feldman issued an injunction against the Obama administration lifting its drilling moratorium saying the government never justified the ban and appeared to mislead the public. Oil prices fell back across the curve falling 15-30 cents a barrel right after the announcement. Judge Martin L.C. Feldman as reported by the Washington Times issued an injunction, saying that the moratorium on drilling will hurt drilling-rig operators and suppliers and that the government has not proved an outright ban is needed, rather than a more limited moratorium.
He also said the Interior Department also misstated the opinion of the experts it consulted. (Misstated?)In fact the truth is that those experts from the National Academy of Engineering said they don't support the blanket ban. "Much to the government's discomfort and this Court's uneasiness, the summary also states, 'the recommendations contained in this report have been peer-reviewed by seven experts identified by the National Academy of Engineering.' As the plaintiffs, and the experts themselves, pointedly observe, this statement was misleading," Judge Feldman said in his 22 page ruling. It is clear that the Obama administration is playing fast and loose with the facts in an effort to placate its angry.....Read the entire article.

There are times when markets reverse for no apparent reason and seem to defy any news that would support the direction of the trend. We call the this occasional event the "Fibonacci factor"and this occurs when markets reach certain retracement levels and often reverse direction from their
previous trend.
In this new short video we outline this phenomenon on the S&P500 and will also be covering it when our new educational trading video debuts this Friday, which will be of course, "Fibonacci Friday".
As always there is no charge and no need to register. Enjoy today's video and please let us know what you think by leaving a comment.

Phil Flynn: The Oil Market Re-Evaluates China’s Re-Valuation
The oil market re-evaluates China’s re-valuation. Perhaps the yuan re-valuation was not as bullish as you thought. We warned yesterday not to get complacently bullish on the yuan re-valuation and sure enough after the commodities markets popped, they then dropped. In fact it is very possible that this yuan re-velation non event may change the short term trend direction risk in commodities.
Mainly I am talking about gold and oil but other commodities that have speculated for months on the Chinese government allowing their currency to “float” may have already bought the rumor and sold the fact. Besides, despite what you might think, this unclear valuation in this environment may not be as bullish for demand as some might think. Despite the increase in Chinese purchasing power the main driver of their economy is still exports. Higher yuan means fewer exports.
And they have wage pressure at home and that has the Chinese government desperately trying to adjust their market by making workers more satisfied with the yuan they've got. Yet this move could drive inflation at home as Chinese consumers start to look for more goods and property perhaps leading to imbalances in the overall Chinese economy.
For oil the idea that this move would put pressure on the dollar and raise all petroleum prices was thwarted by how demand might respond to higher energy prices. Already demand for oil is struggling. We know consumers are price sensitive and we know that oil is sensitive to the dollar.

Deepwater Drilling Ban Lifted by New Orleans Federal Judge
A New Orleans federal judge lifted the six-month moratorium on deepwater drilling imposed by President Barack Obama following the largest oil spill in U.S. history. Drilling services shares jumped on the news.
Obama temporarily halted all drilling in waters deeper than 500 feet on May 27 to give a presidential commission time to study improvements in the safety of offshore operations. More than a dozen Louisiana offshore service and supply companies sued U.S. regulators to lift the ban. The U.S. said it will appeal the decision.
U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman today granted a preliminary injunction, halting the moratorium. He also “immediately prohibited” the U.S. from enforcing the ban. Government lawyers told Feldman that ban was based on findings in a U.S. report following the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon rig off the Louisiana coast in April.
“The court is unable to divine or fathom a relationship between the findings and the immense scope of the moratorium,” Feldman said in his 22-page decision. “The blanket moratorium, with no parameters, seems to assume that because one rig failed and although no one yet fully knows why, all companies and rigs drilling new wells over 500 feet also universally present an imminent danger”.....Read the entire article.
