OPTIONS PLAY: Lower NYMEX Crude Oil
This article will focus on 3 reasons why NYMEX Crude Oil could continue lower.
MY ANALYSIS
Fundamentally, I believe NYMEX CRUDE OIL prices could continue lower for 3 basic reasons:
1. High Unemployment
2. Dreadful Housing Market
3. Double Dip Recession
Technically, I see NYMEX CRUDE FUTURES as being in a SUPER-TREND lower as the market is holding below both the 20 and 9 period Moving Averages. As the market pulls back up to the moving average I believe this is an opportunity. For more charts and studies go to http://www.markethead.com/.
