Daily Forecast - 28 August 2014
WTI Crude October contract
WTI Crude has held a range of 9260/50 to 9435/45 now for over a week & yesterday we held within Tuesday's range. Trade the range while we wait for a breakout. Holding above 9375/80 is more positive for today but we need to beat 9400/9405 to test strong resistance at 9445/50. This held yesterday as expected but on a break higher today look for a move towards 9505/15. If we continue higher this week look for a target of 9560/65 for a selling opportunity. Exit longs & try shorts with stops above 9600.
Below 9360 keeps the market under pressure for the 2 day low at 9335 then better support at 9300/9295. Failure here however risks a retest of the low last week at 9265/55. Try longs but be aware that a break lower this week targets longer term trend line support at 9190/80 for the next buying opportunity. We would need at least a weekly close below here to signal further weakness.
