Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the April contract settled last Friday in New York at 38.50 a barrel while currently trading 40.65 up over $2 for the trading week now trading above its 20 and 100-day moving average for the first time in 6 months. The selloff in the U.S dollar has pushed up oil prices tremendously over the last several weeks. Oil prices are trading higher for the 3rd consecutive day; however this rally has been based on very low volume which is a little concerning as I'm sitting on the sidelines in this market as I have missed the rally to the upside. The U.S dollar has hit a 6 month low and that has propped up many commodity prices and especially crude oil as gasoline and heating oil also have rallied substantially. You will notice this at your local gas station as you are paying much more than you were just three or four weeks ago as the tide has turned in the commodity markets. Rumors are circulating that Saudi Arabia is going to urge OPEC to start cutting production, therefore, pushing up prices even higher as their economy is struggling due to low prices.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the April contract settled last Friday in New York at 35.92 while currently trading at 38.90 a barrel up around $3 for the trading week continuing its bullish momentum as prices have now hit a 9 week high. Crude is trading above its 20 day but right at its 100 day moving average as the trend is still relatively mixed in my opinion as the commodity markets in general have all bottomed out as volatility certainly has come back into the currency market pushing the commodity markets like a yo-yo in recent weeks.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the April contract is now trading above its 20-day but still below its 100-day telling you that the short-term trend is mixed as I was recommending a short position getting stopped out around the $35 level taking a relatively small loss as prices are hovering right near a 4 week high. Crude oil prices settled in New York last Friday at 32.78 a barrel while currently trading at 34.75 up about $2 despite the fact of a the huge build in crude oil inventories which generally puts pressure on prices, but that may have already been factored into the price as all the bearish news is pretty much baked into the cake.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the April contract settled last Friday in New York at 31.75 a barrel while currently trading at 33.90 near a 3 week high as I’m sitting on the sidelines in this market at the current time. In last week’s blog, I was looking to short this market, but I decided against that as a short term bottom has taken place as prices are now trading above their 20 but still below their 100-day moving average as it looks like a bottoming formation is at hand. The S&P 500 has exploded in the last week helping support crude oil prices as it certainly looks like the worldwide nervousness is finished at least for now so look for higher prices ahead, however the chart structure is poor as the 10 day low is too far away as the risk/reward is not in your favor so look at other markets with better potential. This market has been extremely choppy over the last month or so as oversupply issues continue to keep a lid on prices and I think that will remain over the next several months as production cuts are needed therefore decreasing supply as demand still remains relatively high especially at these cheap levels. At the current time, Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap With Mike Seery"

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the April contract settled last Friday at 31.91 a barrel while currently trading at 32.00 basically unchanged for the trading week with a possible double bottom being created around $29 the level occurring. Crude oil prices are still trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is to the downside as the long-term trend is also to the downside despite the fact that several countries decided to freeze production this week, but that still leaves production at record levels as investors found that as another negative situation. The volatility in crude oil is extremely high at the current time as I’m looking to possibly enter into a short position on any type of rally as the chart structure has improved tremendously, therefore, lowering monetary risk, but at this point I’m sitting on the sidelines waiting for an opportunity which could develop any day.
