CRUDE OIL - may fall further !!




Crude Oil which touched a high of almost $120 in international markets has fallen heavily in last couple of days .
However signals were already available on the price charts of an 'impending downmove'. ( The power of charts, shall we say ????)

The above chart of Crude Oil on MCX clearly shows a 'negative divergence' on the RSI and MACD two commonly used indicators.

After touching a high of Rs 4785 it has fallen to current level of Rs 4500.Indications are strong that in coming days it may most likely test sub-Rs 4400 initially and then still lower levels of Rs sub-Rs 4200/-.

When Crude was at $120 levels, analysts on major TV channels suggested $150 in the next few weeks, while the Price charts are saying something opposite!!

It will be interesting to track both - the analysts target as well as the targets of the price charts

Happy observing ! (i presume none of you trade crude)

This is perfect! It is one of holy Grail finds!

As you said none of us trade in Crude Oil...which is true...

How about SHORT ONGC as I think it will be bad for them if crude is cheap
AND
LONG on any of IOC, BPCL and HPCL for this will be good for them?

Hi. I think for long term its good thing to be happen. Higher crude prices keep very long tense on world economies, and a major factor in worldwide commodity price rise.
Sir, whats the downward trend in crude impacts on gold price? Pls explain.

Usually Gold and Crude go together , but in recent times they have had a tendency to walk their individual movements
At current juncture , Crude as well as Gold seem more likely to go down than up . ..

The recent move beyond the indicated (negation) level of 120.50 has not confirmed the divergence ...
I shall revisit the Crude oil Chart in following days ...
