Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook  ONG Focus - Technical
Written by Oil N' Gold. oilngold.com/
Crude Oil Weekly Technical Outlook
Crude oil edged higher to 78.15 last week but failed to sustain gain there. With 4 hours MACD staying below signal line, initial bias is neutral this week. While another rise cannot be ruled out with 74.23 minor support intact. We'd continue to expect upside to be limited by 79.38 resistance and bring fall resumption. On the downside, below 74.23 will flip intraday bias back to the downside. Further break of 71.09 will confirm that fall from 79.38 has resumed. Also this will affirm our view that choppy recovery from 64.23 has completed at 79.38 already and should target 64.23 support next.
In the bigger picture, recovery from 64.23 is treated as a correction to fall from 87.15 and has possibly completed at 79.38 already. Break of 71.09 support will indicate that decline from 87.15 is likely resuming. This will also revive the bearish case that whole medium term rise from 33.2 is finished at 87.15, just ahead of 50% retracement of 147.27 to 33.2 at 90.24. In such case, we'd see another fall to 50% retracement of 33.2 to 87.15 at 60.18 at least.
In the long term picture, current development suggests that rebound from 33.2 is finished at 87.15, inside 76.77/90.24 fibo resistance zone as expected. Our view is that fall fro 87.15 would develop into the third falling leg of the whole correction from 147.27 and hence, we'd anticipate an eventual break of 33.2 low in the long term as such correction extends.
Comex Gold (GC)
Gold's sharp fall on Friday suggests that recovery from 1185 is finished at 1218.8 already. Initial bias is cautiously on the downside this week. Break of 1185 will confirm that whole decline from 1266.5 has resumed and should target 61.8% projection of 1266.5 to 1185 from 1218.8 at 1168.4 next, which is close to 1166 key support. On the upside, above 1218.8 will turn bias neutral and bring more consolidations. But after all, we'd maintain that risk remains heavily on the downside as long as 1266.5 resistance holds.
In the bigger picture, gold's rally from 1044.5 should have completed at 1266.5. More importantly, whole medium term rise from 681 might have finished with five waves up too, on bearish divergence condition in daily MACD. Sustained trading below 55 days EMA (now at 1205.8) will affirm this case and bring deep correction to 1044.5 cluster support (38.2% retracement of 681 to 1266.5 at 1042.8) at least.
In the long term picture, we're proposing that 1266.5 is an important medium term top in gold and we should see a sizable correction going forward. A breach of 1000 psychological level is possible. However, there is no indication of long term up trend reversal yet. We'd maintain the long term bullish view and expect whole up trend from 1999 low of 253 to continue to 100% projection of 253 to 1033.9 from 681 at 1462 level after completing the correction from 1266.5.
