Will crude barrel ahead to new 2022 highs?

 

Monday, June 6, 2022

It’s been an eventful few days for crude, with European Union leaders agreeing last week to ban 90% of Russian oil by the end of 2022. “The European Council agrees that the sixth package of sanctions against Russia will cover crude oil, as well as petroleum products, delivered from Russia into Member States, with a temporary exception for crude oil delivered by pipeline,” the Union said in a statement.

As expected, traders reacted and sent WTI soaring to nearly $120 per barrel. That lead to profit-taking, which resulted in crude dropping to nearly $114 per barrel.

So how should traders view the market now?

WTI certainly appears to be in an uptrend, and higher prices are currently the path of least resistance. For example, crude’s 10-day moving average has crossed its 20-day moving average from below. And the last three times the bullish MA cross occurred, crude’s rallies lasted two months or more. Therefore, with the most recent cross occurring on April 26, we may only be halfway through this medium-term rally.

As a result, it’s an interesting set-up. If crude can recapture $116.82 – a level that coincides with the late March and May 2022 highs – there is little technical resistance on the way to $130. Likewise, if a pullback occurs and the 10-day MA ($111.43) and 20-day MA ($109.10) hold, a breakout above $116.82 seems more likely than not.

So will the fourth time be a charm?

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
