CrudeOil: Make Or Break 

"This Month Decides The Fortune”

Should auld markets be forgot and never brought to mind? Should auld markets be forgot and auld lang sine?

Not on you life! Oil put in its second back-to-back losing years since the eighties but perhaps its time to remember what happened the year after that first loser! The last time oil put back to back losing years in in 1997 and 1998, the following year of 1999 gave a historic comeback and cemented a bottom in oil prices for a generation. After falling over 30% in 1997 and 1998, in 1999 the oil market rebounded almost 107%! And this year, crude oil is getting ready to party like its 1999.

CrudeOil (Weekly)

Technically on a long term basis, Look for a Break around $40.13 , Targeting $62.05 - $87.48. But for now, Trend seems to be week in a Shorter Scenario.

Daily Trendline Chart with Potential Entry Point for US CrudeOil-

The structure looks like an Ending Diagonal and MACD is showing divergence so we'll have to see if the Lower Trendline (Blue) along with “Make or Break Area” initiates a bounce prior to completion of the AB=CD or Not. If it breaks and sustains below $32, a monthly target of $20 will be triggered, possibly achievable in Final Wave-5 of Monthly Chart.

For aggressive buying, a crucial entry point is between $32 - $34 with strict Stop Loss.

If it breaks the Lower Trendline (Blue) to the downside at "127.20% x 2AB" , the best buying is where a possible AB=CD pattern completes. This should be roughly in the $25 - $26 region. This psychological level might provide support in any case.

Though the initial target should be at $37.50 (50% CD Retracement).
