Crude Oil Price Action Analysis - Fibo resistance level to be breakign for the bullish trend to be continuing (adapted from the article)

Daily price is on bullish market condition located above 200 period SMA and 100 period SMA: the price is breaking Fibo resistance level at 51.16 for the bullish trend to be continuing with 52.82 as a nearest daily target.

"After failing at the topchannel in June, the price quickly dropped down to a pre-identified zone provided by the median line and the Fibonacci Retracement levels in focus between $41.85-$35.22/bbl. Key support that would deflate the confidence of the 22%+ August trend would be a break below the higher-low of $41.27/bbl from August 11."



If the price breaks Fibo support level at 41.49 to below so the bearish reversal will be started.
If the price breaks Fibo support level at 47.47 to below so we may see the local downtrend as the secondary correction.
If the price breaks Fibo resistance level at 51.16 from below to above so the primary bullish trend will be continuing with 52.82 as a nearest daily target..
If not so the price will be on bullish ranging within the levels.

Resistance Support
51.1647.47
52.8241.49
The Medium-Term Strategy: watch close daily price to break 51.16 resistance level for 52.82 target to re-enter.

Play Oil Game: Infuriating News (based on the article)

Brent Crude oil is on intra-day bearish breakdown by crossing 100 SMA/200 SMA levels to below for the reversal of the price movement to the primary bearish market condition.

  • "Oil markets are still anemic after more than two years of over supply and repressed prices. From $114 per barrel in the summer of 2014, prices are now hovering in the mid $40s range, and have been unable to find a floor, market equilibrium, then trend upward and find a “new normal.” However, in more dour news for oil producers, on Thursday oil prices fell again, to three week lows, the largest drop since January. U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) prices dropped to $43.16, as oil markets likely negated the possibility of an OPEC cut in production from an Algiers meeting later this month and focused on growing U.S. oil inventories."
  • The price was decreased by 7.50% for one week with 45.30 support level to be testing for the intra-day bearish trend to be continuing.


If H4 price breaks 45.30 support level to below so the bearish breakdown will be continuing.
If H4 price breaks 48.01 resistance level to above on close bar so the bullish trend will be resumed.
If not so the price will be on ranging within the level.
