</divMorning Report: Crude Oil Futures for February Settlement
Another short term bearish pattern (possible head and shoulders) is seen on the provided four-hour chart; however there are two possible neckline levels for the formation, the first is the ascending line, while the second is the horizontal support near 99.40. The commodity tested this important intraday support at 99.40 in the recent hours, and now we may see an upside attempt towards the ascending breached support which turns into resistance now around 100.30-100.50 areas. A breach below 99.40 may trigger further selloff initially to 98.50-98.00 Accordingly, we continue to anticipate downside pressure within the upcoming period and over intraday basis.
The trading range for the day is expected among the major support at 98.00 and the major resistance at 101.50.
The short-term trend is to the downside with steady daily closing below 105.00, targeting 65.00.
Support | 99.40 | 98.50 | 98.00 | 97.60 | 97.00 |
|
Resistance | 100.30 | 100.80 | 101.60 | 102.05 | 102.50 |
|
Recommendation | Based on the charts and explanations above our opinion is selling crude around 100.50 and take profit at 99.50 and 98.50. Stop loss with four-hour closing above 101.00 might be appropriate. |
