The Commodity Specialist view – Earlier this year the slip back in Crude Oil price was supported by the 38.2% retracement, with bears unable to make further headway. The subsequent recovery still looks sound, with the May high remaining under threat of being breached.

  • BRENT CRUDE – WEEKLY CONTINUATION CHART:
    Recovery from the 38.2% pullback earlier pushed beyond the prior highs shown. These have so far provided support.
    The May high remains under threat, with a break higher to turn attention towards the 61.8% recovery level around 105.00.
  • BRENT CRUDE – DAILY CHART JAN-11:
    A recent dip held above the 81.24 19-Oct low, helping to preserve current bull momentum.
    The chart looks well-placed to make a better break of the 76.4% level to challenge the 93.24 May high.
    Beyond here we can start calculating higher projection levels.
