Crude Oil Price Trades Higher for 3rd Consecutive Session (adapted from the article)

  • "WTI Crude Oil prices are currently set to close higher for the third consecutive trading session. This bounce in price occurred immediately after Crude Oil traded to a new monthly low last week at a price of $45.81. If this rally is set to continue, traders will look for Crude Oil to move on short-term values of resistance, before challenging the June 2016 high at $51.64."
  • "Key value of resistance sits at $49.41. This price level is represented in the graph above as a 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, which is found between the Junes high and low mentioned previously. If prices remain under resistance, it suggests that the measured move mentioned in last week’s article may still be valid. Alternatively, if prices break above this short-term point of resistance, it opens up Crude Oil to continue its 2016 uptrend. At which point traders may look for Crude Oil prices to challenge fresh yearly highs."

Crude Oil price is on trading higher for the 4th day: intra-day H4 price was started with breakout by 200 SMA crossing to above for the intra-day bullish market condition.



If the price breaks 51.07 resistance level on close H4 bar so the primary bullish trend will be continuing on H4 timeframe.
If the price breaks 49.45 support level to below on close bar so the intra-day bearish trend will be resumed.
If not so the price will be on ranging within the levels.

  • "Crude oil prices put in the largest daily decline in four months. From here, a break below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement at 45.60 targets the 38.2% level at 41.86. Alternatively, a move above resistance in the 48.73-50.18 area exposes the 23.6% Fib expansion at 51.86."
  • H4 intra-day price broke 100 SMA/200 SMA area for the bearish market condition.

Crude Oil Price Forecast: Brexit - daily correction to be started with 43.30 as a daily bearish reversal target (adapted on the article)

  • "There are three things that stand out on the Daily US Oil chart. First, the resistance around $50 from the October high. Second, the lower high into the Brexit vote that was met with a much stronger US dollar. Lastly, the pressure now being put on the 55-day moving average that has been a clear directional bias indicator for crude."
  • "At the risk of oversimplification, if the US dollar begins to strengthen further, and WTI Crude Oil (CFD: US Oil) falls back below the 55-Day Moving Average (currently at $46.59 per barrel), we could likely see a retest of the March corrective zone. This zone occurred when US Dollar showed strength again that eventually faded. This zone sits at $41.85/$35.81 per barrel. A break below this zone would favor retest below $30 a barrel."

D1 price is on ranging market condition within the primary bullish area of the chart: price is located above 100 SMA/200 SMA area for 46.92 support level to be broken to below for the secondary correction to be started with 43.30 bearish reversal target.
