Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the July contract settled last Friday in New York at 49.33 a barrel while currently trading at 49.00 basically unchanged for the trading week continuing its nonvolatile action still hovering right near the $50 level. Crude oil prices are trading above their 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is still higher as I've been sitting on the sidelines in this market as I'm possibly looking at a short position in the next week or two as the chart structure is outstanding as prices are stuck in a three-week channel. As a trader I look for risk/reward to be in your favor with outstanding chart structure as that is starting to develop in the crude oil market but at this point you have to be patient and wait for the downtrend to develop as OPEC announced yesterday that they were leaving production unchanged. Generally speaking Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery" →

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the July contract settled last Friday in New York at 48.41 a barrel while currently trading at 48.91 up about $.50 for the trading week still right near a 7 month high. I have been sitting on the sidelines in this market as I missed this trade to the upside and I do not like to chase markets so I will look at other trades that are beginning to trend. Oil prices are trading far above their 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is higher because of production disruptions in the country of Nigeria coupled with the fact that Canada has also had problems in the province of Alberta sending prices above $50 in Thursday's trade only to come back on profit taking. The interesting thing to see is if rig counts start to increase as they have continually gone down over the last several months, but now that prices are near $50 it might be profitable to start production once again as time will tell if that situation develops.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the July contract settled last Friday in New York at 46.90 a barrel while currently trading at 48.60 up about $1.70 for the trading week continuing its remarkable bullish run over the last 3 months. At the current time, I’m sitting on the sidelines in the crude oil. I did miss this move to the upside as prices bottomed out in early January around the $32 level while now trading almost at $50 in a remarkable turn of events. However, the 10 day low is too far away, therefore, risking too much money so I will look at other markets with better risk/reward scenarios at present. Crude oil is trading far above it's 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that short-term trend is to the upside as I’m certainly not recommending any type of short position as that would be counter trend trading which is a bad idea over the course of time. It will be very interesting to see if rig counts start to increase as they had been coming down over the last year, but now prices have rallied substantially so it will be interesting to see if those corporations start pumping more oil.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the June contract settled last Friday in New York at 44.66 a barrel while currently trading at 46.22 up about $1.50 for the trading week continuing its bullish momentum hitting a 6 month high. I have not been involved in oil for several months, but if you do have a bullish position, I would place my stop loss at the 10 day low around 43.00 as I think this market is getting a little long in the tooth as I’m starting to have a bearish bias. Crude oil prices are trading far above their 20 and 100-day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is higher as the chart structure has improved tremendously. We could be possibly entering a short position in the next several weeks so keep a close eye on this market as the risk/reward could be your favor soon.

S&P 500 Futures

The S&P 500 futures in the June contract settled last Friday in Chicago 2059 while currently trading at 2040 right near a 4 week low and if you have been following any of my previous blogs you understand that I do not trade this very often. However, the setup is starting to become favorable as I want to keep a close eye on a possible short position next week. The S&P 500 is trading below its 20-day but still above its 100-day moving average as we are right near major support I do want to see the chart structure to tighten up as the 10 day high is 2094 risking around 55 points or 2,800 per contract plus slippage and commission which is too high of monetary risk to enter at this point. The monthly unemployment report was released this morning stating that the United States added about 160,000 new jobs below expectations with the unemployment rate at 5% having little impact on today’s price as I will keep a close eye on this market as volatility should definitely start to increase as the old saying states “sell in May and go away” as that’s exactly what’s happened so far.
