It will probably continue to behave erratic until data is released, then only god knows where it will go. My bet is down first and then heavily bought into. Yeah but took a loss on a second short.

Hey Kwame.....:
thoughts following that pullback is that the new high may provides a classic Head n Shoulders setup on the daily chart should the right hand shoulder not hold am thinking 63.3 becomes a new challenge/target for the bulls....

resistance holding at the moment but still has a very bullish feel to it. every dip is bought into and pushed up. think it will eventually break and drive to 62+. when this happens, i have no clue. market is very bullish in my opinion.

WTI renews multi-month highs above $61 after EIA data shows decline in US oil stocks
18 December 2019, 19:49

 

  1. Crude oil stocks in US fell by 1.1 million barrels.
  2. JP Morgan revised WTI price forecast for 2020.
  3. OPEC+ output cut and easing geopolitical tensions continue to support prices.

Crude oil prices rose for the fifth straight day on Wednesday and the barrel of West Texas Intermediate reached its highest level in three months at $61.17. As of writing, the WTI was up 1% on the day at $61.10.
EIA data boosts WTI
The weekly report published by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday revealed that crude oil stocks in the US declined by 1.1 million barrels in the week ending December 13th to 446.8 million barrels. Although this reading came in slightly lower than the market expectation for a draw of 1.3 million barrels, the WTI gathered bullish momentum.
The ongoing crude oil rally is fueled by the inspiring Industrial Production data from both China and the US, easing geopolitical tensions following the completion of the phase-one trade deal and OPEC+' introduction of additional output cuts.
Amid these changes in market dynamics, JP Morgan said it revised the average price forecast for WTI in 2020 to $60 from $57.50. "We continue to expect global oil demand growth at 1 million barrels per day," JP Morgan said. "The OPEC, Russia and other producers, a group known as OPEC+, have agreed to cut output by an extra 500,000 barrels a day in the first quarter of 2020.”

Surprisingly, volume ticked up and it was an average day as far as volume does in CME's CL. A lot of that probably had to do with the EIA inventories data.

Seems a sell at current levels may well be worth a crack to look for 60.50 atleast and trailing......some bearish RSI divergence coming into the picture.
Buy dip mode to continue thereafter me thinks...

backwardation in brent structure has reached the highest levels almost since 2018 (minus the Oct18 extreme backwardation) ... ideally spot should correct a little as 66$ is a long term tech number too .. but crude is crude .. it can keep rolling too. who knows!

--> bit of a correction here. backwardation reaching extreme levels usually can also mean it can pull up spot prices sharply. but anyways clearly lot going on in crude. interesting mkt.

Agreed. Lets see how it goes...looking at the daily break out on the 4/5th of this month to become a support handle....

Marking the yearly low in....up up and away for now....

If backwardation level persists as it is or increases, and some major event like dollar sell off or geopolitical risk happens, there can be a 5-10$ movement up in Brent Spot prices. Chances less but it has happened as recent as in Mar-May 2018.

Was looking to go long around the 66.20 handle but the dip wasn’t low enough to trigger the entry....
will wait and see if the H1 is creating a double top as we are yet to break out higher without prices dipping back towards the H1 50 EMA thus far.....
