Brent Crude: Directionless And Range-Bound
Jason Sen | Jul 29, 2014 02:53AM ET
Brent Crude direction-less and in a range for 9 days now, perfect day-trading conditions! The 200 day moving average has provided the support at 106.85/75. Below 108.00/90 ensure prices stay in the range to test 107.60/50 then 107.10 before 200 day moving average support at 106.85/75. We should of course use this as a buying opportunity but a breakout should occur sooner rather than later and is more likely to be to the downside. Therefore our longs need stops below 106.40. Go with a break lower using 106.85/75 as strong resistance for a move towards trend line support at 106.25 then a retest of the July low at 105.60.
100 day moving average at 107.99 is immediate resistance but above here allows a retest of the 108.40/60 highs of the range. A break higher is significant of course and targets resistance at 109.20/25. If prices continue higher look for 109.85/90 and perhaps as far as resistance at 110.30/40 for an excellent selling opportunity.
