Crude Oil Sharply Higher, Above 25% Retracement
Crude oil was higher overnight as it extends this week's rally above the 25% retracement level of the 2008-2009 decline crossing at 68.49. Stochastics and the RSI are diverging but are also turning neutral to bullish signaling that additional gains are possible.
If July extends this spring's rally, the 38% retracement of the 2008-2009 decline crossing at 82.38 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 64.34 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted.

The U.S. Dollar was slightly lower overnight as it consolidates some of Monday's rally. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

Natural gas was higher in overnight trading due to short covering as it consolidates below the 10 day moving average crossing at 3.890. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.951 would signal that a short term low has been posted.

"Crude Oil Falls, Following Stocks Lower, as Dollar Strengthens"
Crude oil fell for a second day, following global equities, as a stronger dollar reduced the appeal of commodities as an alternative investment. Prices declined as much as 2.4 percent after stocks fell and the U.S. currency gained against the euro for a second day.

And Where The S & P 500 Went, Crude Oil Was Sure To Follow
Well, maybe it won't "always" follow. But let's take a look at this conundrum wrapped in an enigma… that’s the S&P 500 index.
We were just looking at the S&P 500 index as we came to the close for the week of June 6th. While the market appears to be higher for the week, it also appears that we’re losing momentum on the upside.
This can be seen in the second attempt to close over the 950 level. Also some of our momentum indicators are showing negative divergences. This means that while the S&P 500 is making new highs for the move, the momentum indicators are not showing the same configuration and making new highs. This can often be the first clue of a potential market correction.
In this short video on the S&P 500, you’ll will see exactly what we are looking at and why.

Trading Crude Oil Is All About The Dollar, How Low Can It Go?
We were quite amazed when we looked back to see how long it’s been since we had put together a Dollar Index (NYBOT_DX) video. We had to look back to September of 2008 to find the last series of videos we had done specifically for the Dollar Index, and it proved to be successful.
In today’s video we will look at the Dollar Index and the impact it is having on crude oil (NYMEX_CL) and other major markets. I’ll also make a rather surprising prediction as to the most likely trend the dollar is going to take in the next 12 months.
This is a video you will not want to miss as the ramifications of inflation and the dollar are rather shocking.
We will show you how MarketClub has used the same approach in the same market using our “Trade Triangle” technology to trade this index and just how successfully this approach has been.
We strongly recommend that you watch my earlier Dollar Index video and then watch the new one. This will give you more confidence in using our “Trade Triangle” approach.

Friday's Short Covering Rally Sets The Stage For Steady Open For Monday
Crude oil closed lower on Friday due to profit taking as it consolidated some of Thursday's rally. A short covering rally tempered early losses and the mid range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Monday.
Stochastics and the RSI are overbought and are turning bearish hinting that a short term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 62.82 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.
If July extends the rally off April's low, the 38% retracement level of the 2008-2009 decline crossing at 82.38 is the next upside target.
First resistance is today's high crossing at 70.32
Second resistance is the 38% retracement level crossing at 82.38
First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 65.94
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 62.82

If July renews last month's decline, April's low crossing at 3.395 is the next downside target. Closes above March's high crossing at 4.721 are needed to confirm that an important bottom has been posted.
First resistance is Tuesday's high crossing at 4.284
Second resistance is May's high crossing at 4.690

Multiple closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 80.90 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.

Oil Falls On Stronger Dollar, Russia Says $75 Is Reasonable, Oil Stocks Could Double?
"Oil Falls From a 7 Month High as Dollar Gains on Jobs Report"
Crude oil fell from a seven month high after the dollar strengthened on a government report that showed the U.S. lost fewer jobs in May than forecast. Oil declined as much as 1.9 percent as the U.S. currency strengthened against the euro and yen, reducing demand for commodities as an alternative investment. Prices climbed above $70 for the first time since November after the initial release of the Labor Department report on speculation that the payroll number signaled that the worst of the economic slump is over.....Complete Story

"Russia Says Oil Price at $75/Barrel Reasonable"
A senior Russia official said Friday that $75 is a reasonable price for per barrel oil and warned that oil output would drop on further credit crunch. "We need at least $75 per barrel," Russian First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Sechin told reporters on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, the country's top business forum. Sechin forecast that oil production would unlikely fall in the next few years due to mass investment over years, but "an increasingly shrinking access to finances could lead to a decline.".....Complete Story

"BlackRock’s Rice Says Oil Shares May Double as Crude Climbs"
Daniel Rice, whose BlackRock Energy & Resources Fund rose more than any U.S. equity mutual fund in the past decade, said oil company stocks may double within three years as crude prices climb toward $90 a barrel. The global recession didn’t fundamentally change the demand for energy or affect long term supply constraints, Rice said in a June 2 interview at his Boston office. Coal stocks may triple, he said. Rice’s $808 million fund gained an average of 20 percent a year in the 10 years ended.....Complete Story

Oil Prices Spike Above $70
Oil was steady around $69 a barrel Friday after approaching $70 the day before, when the first drop in U.S. weekly unemployment claims in five months provided another sign that demand for crude could improve. Investors looked to the crucial U.S. payrolls data for May, due later Friday, for more direction. Benchmark crude for July delivery slipped 4 cents to $68.77 a barrel by midday in European electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. On Thursday the contract shot up $2.69 to settle at $68.81 after trading as high as $69.60. Crude's stellar rise it now fetches roughly twice what it did only four months ago in dollar terms is leading analysts to revise forecasts even further upward, with many now saying they expect a barrel to cost $80 or more by year's end.....Complete Story

Goldman Sachs Call For $85 Crude Oil, We Are Taking Profits At $70
Today’s Stock Market Club Trading Triangles
July crude oil closed up $2.66 at $68.78 a barrel today. Prices closed nearer the session high today and hit a fresh seven month high on a prediction from Goldman Sachs that crude oil prices would reach $85.00 a barrel this year and $95.00 next year. However, Goldman's track record on oil predictions is spotty. I would not be surprised to see crude oil prices touch the $70.00 a barrel mark and then see a good profit taking pullback. Crude oil bulls have the near term technical advantage. A six week old uptrend is still in place on the daily bar chart.

The U.S. stock indexes closed firmer today.

Do not be surprised to see more consolidative trade in the stock indexes, heading into the summer months, when traders focus more on family vacations and outdoor activities.
