The Commodity Specialist view – After a pullback in 2010 found support from the 38.2% retracement the ensuing recovery returned to the area of the May high, but seemed temporarily reluctant to push decisively through. This is now happening though.

  • BRENT CRUDE – WEEKLY CONTINUATION CHART:
    On the continuation chart the May-10 high was breached sooner.
    With the 50% recovery level also surpassed our next focus here is on the 105.00 area, the 61.8% retracement.
  • BRENT CRUDE DAILY CHART – MAR-11:
    Recent consolidation around the May-10 high has given way to another s/term bull move, reinforcing our bullish stance.
    Initially on the upside we keep in mind the 1.618 swing projection off prior 93.91/73.19 May-10 drop at 106.72. This lies a little above the 105.00 level on the Weekly chart.
    Ideally at this stage support from the 90.00 area will hold s/term dips in order to preserve current momentum. This ties in quite nicely with the 89.58 May-10 high from the continuation chart.
