Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the March contract settled last Friday in New York at 33.62 a barrel while currently trading at 31.62 down about $2 for the trading week stuck in a sideways trend at the present time. Crude oil prices are trading above their 20 day but still far below their 100 day moving average telling you that the trend is mixed as prices in my opinion are bottoming out, but at this point the market trend is sideways as a true breakout to the upside is above 34.82 as the chart structure is starting to improve so keep a close eye on this market, but avoid and look at other sectors that are beginning to trend. The U.S dollar has entered a bearish trend in my opinion and that has been supportive crude oil in recent days while also pushing up the precious metals which hit a 3 month high which is always a good sign as the commodity markets move hand-in-hand over the course of time which could be supportive crude oil here in the short time.

USDJPY: "Diving" For Opportunity

Posted on by The INO.com Team

By: Elliott Wave International

On a recent vacation to the Yucatan, my friend decided to get certified in scuba diving.

I, on the other hand, prefer breathing my air above water! But I did tag along with her to one of the classes, anyway. She learned how to handle and interpret all the various diver gauges: gas pressure, submersive pressure, depth, and on.

The one feature all those indicators had in common was a bold, red line to indicate the level the diver must obey to stay out of danger.

That's when it hit me: Scuba-diving is a lot like financial markets. Investors and traders jump in -- and use an array of safety gauges to keep them on the right side of price action.

Well, at least those investors and traders who use technical market indicators. For them, those bold, red lines indicating the point of danger -- those are equivalent to the most critical component of market analysis: protective stops. The second prices cross this line, it's time to "swim back up to the surface" and safely re-adjust your position.

For any investor/trader, then, the ultimate goal is to clearly identify these life-"lines" ahead of time, before jumping in. That, dear friends, is where our newest, FREE report "How to Set and Manage Stops With the Wave Principle" comes in.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the March contract are trading higher for the 4th consecutive trading session up another $.50 at 33.72 a barrel after settling in New York last Friday at 32.19 hitting a 3 week high. I’ve been sitting on the sidelines in this market for quite some time as a short-term bottom around $28 looks to have occurred in my opinion with the next major level of resistance abound $38 as OPEC is hinting at a possible production cut sending prices up about $5 in the last two weeks. Crude oil prices are trading above their 20 day but still below their 100 day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is mixed so look at other markets that are beginning to trend with better potential at the present time. The U.S dollar continues to hover around 99 giving very little guidance in the short-term as this market is based on OPEC and overproduction at the current time as a relief rally is underway in my opinion.
