If so, the recent price action implies that ‘the trend is your friend,’ and be mindful of false breakouts. The blue line on the chart shows how the 20-day moving average primarily acted as resistance from late June until October. Furthermore, it also ended the rally in early December.
Additionally, four false breakouts above the 20-day MA have materialised since June, with each iteration culminating with another breakdown. Now that a fifth breakout is present, the same playbook applies: if the crude oil price can hold above the 20-day MA, the technical implications help confirm Currie’s bullish fundamental thesis. If not, the downtrend remains, and caution is warranted.
