Short Oil @ 59.60 - 60.00 area Fib 0.50 line. Oil has had a nice bounce from the Jan 2019 lows, and I believe it's time for a little pullback. This 59.60 - 60.00 area is an important pivot point, exactly sitting at the Fib 0.50 line, which will prove very hard to be broken. We consolidated in this region back in 2015 and fell hard. Remember that we are in a secular bear market, and this up movement from the Jan lows could be seen as a bear flag. First price target is 55.5, and then a second, a little aggressive price target would be 50.5. Given that the general equity market fundamentals point to a pull-back, shorting oil will be high probabilty trade. Enjoy the profits!!!

Update: View of Crude Oil remains, buying opportunity at $48.60Demand remains consistent at 1.5% YoY, the decline was caused entirely by supply-side shocks and record production. From the lows, late last year OPEC has talked up production cuts which would ultimately be the catalyst to rally higher. This is a bullish market, shorting counter-trend is risky so make sure you are managing the risk of the position BEFORE you place your trade. I won't be shorting Oil, but I will be a buyer at $48.60 provided all the planets continue to align.

WEEKEND REVIEW: WTI near-term down before trend resumes higherMarkets are a DISCOUNTING MECHANISM they will discount today what they expect at some point in the future and if that expectation does not materialize the price will correct lower. Over the past few months, OPEC has been quite open about production cuts which would be the perfect recipe to push markets higher. Huge overproduction while demand remained consistent at 1.5% caused the price to crash, OPEN is now addressing this issue.

Subdued Volatility Boosts Crude, But Will It Last? #oil #oott Oil has also seen a dramatic decline in volatility with the OVX down 35 percent over the last month versus an eight percent decline in the VIX. But, prices are beginning to stagnate across cyclical drivers as the macro data out of China and Europe continue to decelerate. In October: "There is currently a 19.8% premium versus the 20-year seasonality , and there's over a 24 percent gap from where crude currently stands and the 5- and 10-year seasonality , respectively. Looking at the futures market, large speculators positioning (on a 5-year percentile) has been sloping lower as price diverges. However, now growth is expected to slow along with inflation which is a bad mix. I have been pointing out since early summer, my DRIP-model (disinflation/reflation/inflation proxy in pink) has been pointing to lower-lows in U.S. inflation . In turn, consumer prices fell from a five-year high of 2.9% to 2.3% Given how market conditions are building, and the recent action in crude, the U.S. could be facing inflation under 2% and that has serious implications when concerning Fed policy." The 20-year seasonality for WTI is negative from September to January with October and November being to steepest at -1 and -1.2 percent, respectively. January's seasonality performance is -.7 percent with current prices trading at a 13.1 percent premium to the 5-year average. Furthermore, today's EIA inventories report saw a massive build of 7.97 m/bl build v. 42,000 drawdown expectation and 2.68 m/bl draw in the following week. This was the largest build since November 15.
