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.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the March contract settled last Friday in New York at 34.10 a barrel as prices have reversed their recent downtrend including the last 2 trading sessions as prices are now trading at 32.17 up $2.62 this Friday afternoon. I have been recommending sitting on the sidelines for quite some time, however there could a trade here in the next couple of days as the 10 day high is around $35.02 in Mondays trade as prices are still trading far below their 20 and 100 day moving average telling you that the short-term trend still remains bearish. Oil prices traded below $28 a barrel in Wednesday’s trade as panic struck the stock market and the energy market as worldwide deflation continues to hamper prices and if you have been following any of my previous blogs you understand why I remain short so keep a close eye on this market as a possible trade could be in Monday’s trade.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the February contract settled last week in New York at 37.04 a barrel while currently trading at 33.33 down about $4 for the trading week hitting a 12 year low continuing its remarkable bearish trend. Oil prices have been very volatile as in Monday’s trade prices were sharply higher and then finished lower as there were concerns about Saudi Arabia and Iran causing crude oil prices to spike in early trade only to sell off sharply for the rest of the week as there seems to be no end in sight to where the bottom is. The problem with crude oil is China basically came out stating that their economy is definitely slowing down as that’s not only bearish crude oil or any commodities in general as there seems to be a worldwide slowdown occurring as even the stock market which has been incredibly resilient over the last several years is now starting to weaken dramatically.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the February contract settled last Friday in New York at 36.06 a barrel while currently trading 36.68 as it looks to me that a possible short-term bottom might be place as I’m currently sitting on the sidelines in this market as I was short heating oil offsetting that trade last week as the easy money has already been made to the downside. Crude oil futures are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average telling you that the short-term trend is lower and if you’re short this market my recommendation would be to place your stop loss above the 10 day high which currently stands at 39.13 as prices are trading higher for the 2nd consecutive trading session. One of the main reasons for crude oil dropping is the fact of extremely warm weather across the northeastern part of the United States sending heating oil prices sharply lower, therefore curbing demand for crude oil coupled with the fact that OPEC did not cut production and actually increased production as it certainly seems that they want lower prices here in the short-term.

Crude Oil Futures

Crude oil futures in the January contract settled last Friday in New York at 36.62 a barrel while currently trading at 34.88 down slightly for the trading week continuing its bearish trend as I was recommending a short position in heating oil offsetting that position last Monday as I’m currently sitting on the sidelines in the energy complex. At the current time crude oil prices are trading far below their 20 and 100 day moving average as this market seems to be headed lower in my opinion, but I am a little concerned that everybody is extremely bearish and generally when everybody’s on one side of the boat that can be a dangerous indicator in my opinion. The commodity markets in general look very weak as there is the possibility in my opinion that prices can trade down to $25 as OPEC not only did not cut production they increased production as they are playing chicken with world production trying to push prices lower sending many other countries including the United States out of producing oil as Saudi Arabia can still be profitable even if these lower levels as many other countries cannot as they will have to slow down production.
