Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures hit a 5 month low this week in New York finishing higher this Friday afternoon at 96.95 up around $.1.40 as I have been recommending a short position in crude oil for quite some time and if you took that recommendation when the breakout occurred around 98.70 make sure you place your stop at the 10 day low which also stands at 98.70 as prices have been pretty nonvolatile in the last week or so except for Thursday’s trade when oil finished down over $2 as the U.S dollar is pressuring crude oil and many other commodity prices to the downside. The next major level of support is around 94.50 a barrel and if that level is broken I think there’s a possibility prices trade as low as $90 as the U.S government wants oil prices to go lower due to the fact that Russia’s economy relies on high oil prices so if prices drop dramatically Russia’s economy goes in the tank and with all the sanctions against them that could change the current situation with Putin. Crude oil futures are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average so continue to play this to the downside as the chart structure is outstanding and take advantage of any rally making sure that you use a proper stop loss and proper money management techniques to limit your loss to 2% of your account balance on any given trade.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the September contract finished basically unchanged for the trading week to close around 97.60 and I have been recommending a short position when prices broke 98.70 last week while placing your stop loss now above the 10 day high which is 102.10 risking around $4.00 or $2,000 per contract as the chart structure will improve dramatically in the next 2 days so if you’re lucky enough to get a rally in tomorrow’s trade take advantage will placing the proper stop loss minimizing your risk to 2% of your account balance. Many of the commodity markets were lower again today due to the fact that the U.S dollar hit a new 6 month high and I still do believe that the federal government wants lower oil prices because Russia’s economy is based on high oil prices and there’s no better way to hurt the Russians than push crude oil back down to $80 a barrel so continue to sell this market as I remain bearish. Crude oil futures are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average with the next major support around 96.50 if that level is broken I think you will retest the March lows of around 94.25 so continue to play this to the downside.

Silver Futures

Silver futures in the September contract are settling around 20.40 an ounce finishing down about $.25 for the trading week while still trading below their 20 but above their 100 day moving average hitting a 5 week low and if you are currently bearish silver I would sell at today’s price while placing my stop above the 10 day high which is 21.12 risking around $.50 or $2,500 per contract as the chart structure is outstanding currently. Many of the commodity markets are going lower because of the U.S dollar hitting a 6 month high against the Euro currency as I think that trend is going to continue here in the short term. The volatility in silver is extremely low at the current time and I would assume with all the worldwide problems that volatility will start to increase however prices still look weak in my opinion as the Federal Reserve is cutting back on the quantitative easing which is also a negative influence on precious metals prices as the fundamentals currently are neutral to weak.
TREND: LOWER

Silver Futures

Silver futures in the September contract finished the week down about $.30 to close this Friday at 20.60 ending on a positive note up about $.18 closing right near session highs as the trend is now lower hitting a 4 week low so I’m neutral this market sitting on the sidelines waiting for another trend to develop, however if you are bearish I would sell at today’s price of 20.60 while placing my stop loss above the 10 day high which was on Monday’s trade at 21.32 risking around $.70 for $3,500 per contract as the chart structure currently is very solid. I’ve was recommending a long silver futures position when prices broke above 20.02 in late June while getting stopped out last week at the 10 day low as prices have broken down as the Malaysian airliner crisis has settled down as deflation currently is in the air not inflation as the U.S dollar continues to rally against the Euro currency as many of the commodity markets have been heading lower. Silver futures are trading below their 20 but still above their 100 day moving average telling you that trend currently is mixed and if you’re not looking to sell at today’s price level I would sit on the sidelines and trade another market that has a stronger trend.
TREND: MIXED

Silver Futures

Silver futures in the September contract rallied $.35 cents this week as tensions between Israel and Hamas have sent prices to 4 month highs at 21.48 with the next major resistance at $22 as I’ve been recommending a long position when prices hit a 4 week high breaking above 20.02 about 3 weeks ago so continue to place a stop below the 10 day low as the chart structure is outstanding as that level currently stands at 20.82 risking around $.70 or $3,500 per contract at these price levels. Silver has been going higher in recent weeks as this commodity has solid demand due to electronics and many other products that currently use silver and if you’ve been following any of my previous blogs for the last several months I thought prices were extremely cheap especially compared to the rest of the commodity markets so continue to be long while placing your stop at the 2 week low as prices are trading above their 20 and 100 day moving average telling you that the trend remains higher.
TREND: HIGHER
CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT
