WTIC: Crude Oil rally may have ended!

WTIC broke its "pennant" formation (ABCD) at USD57.50 two weeks ago. This downside breakout of a consolidation pattern turned the pattern into a reversal pattern. This means that crude oil prices are likely to enter into a downtrend. The first stop is at the horizontal line at USD54. we can only hope that at this strong support crude oil would recruit sufficient buying support to launch into a more gradual uptrend. Failure to do - accompanied by a breakdown of the USD54 support - could send the market to re-test the January & March lows of USD44 again.

The weakness in crude oil would translate to weakness in Oil & Gas stocks on our local bourse. Thus, we should be careful in taking large position in these stocks.
