Crude Oil - WTI (INR and USD) - January 2016

Crude Oil – WTI (INR and USD)

Talks are abuzz that Crude Oil is going to fall further. There is news that there may be far excess supply in 2016 than what the global markets may be able to absorb and that the crude carrying ships are being used as storage capacities and crude is being ferried to the farthest destinations so as to increase the transit time for very well-known reasons.

However the most recent candlestick chart patterns of WTI (INR and USD) have thrown up some surprises. While a few of them have been followed by positive confirmations, a positive confirmation is yet to follow on fortnightly and monthly candlestick charts (INR and USD).

The adapted Bollinger Bands do not yet give any indication of formation of a squeeze and a consequent reversal of trend, yet it seems after combining all the above factors that Crude Oil is in a consolidative phase and at least for now the rates have stabilised.

A bullish phase would be confirmed with the formation of a white candle on the monthly candlestick charts and with the initiation of the formation of a squeeze on adapted Bollinger Bands.







Best wishes for the New Year 2016.
