JUNE CRUDE OIL
June crude oil closed up $0.16 at $123.69 a barrel yesterday. Prices closed near the session high yesterday and hit another fresh contract and all-time high of $124.40. This week’s price action is an early clue of a “blow-off top” developing in crude oil. Bulls still have momentum and power and would-be top pickers do not want to stand in front of a steaming locomotive. The market is still short- term technically oversold and due for at least a downside correction soon. The next upside price objective for the crude oil bulls is to produce a close above psychological resistance at $125.00. The next downside price objective for the bears is producing a close below solid technical support at $120.00 a barrel. First resistance is seen at $125.00 and then at $126.00. First support is seen at $123.00 and then at $122.00.
Wyckoff’s Market Rating: 10.0
