Using Technical Analysis To Forecast Crude Oil Prices
There can be little question that energy costs have profound effects on all areas of the economy. Leading up to the Market top and subsequent crash in 2008, oil prices rose to unprecendented levels. It could be said that rising energy costs has as profound an impact on the economy as the credit default swap scandal.
That said, it would make sense to track and forecast crude oil prices as part of your high level market analysis process. Fortunately, it is perfect legitmate and effective to apply technical analysis techniques to crude oil prices, making it possible for tradeers to determine near term price movements in crude.
Using charting software such as stockcharts.com, traders can analyze chart patterns and apply technical indicators to predict the future direction and degree of movement. I recommend utilzing Monthly charts for determining the overall trend of crude oil, and weekly charts for examining chart patterns and daily charts for confirming pattern breakouts using technical analysis indcators.
One aspect of forcasting crude oil prices is that crude oil tends to trend, making it very easy to trade profitably. For instance, crude oil has been in a steady uptrend, creating a postive slopped support trendline at points in July, late September, and early December. This is a valid and strong trenline which suggest that crude will continue to rise.
Crude oil also tends to trade in channels and triangles. A break above or below these pattern lines suggests a large move is comming in crude. As of the writing of this article, crude oil recently crossed above its’ 200 day exponential moving average, as well as broke out of the topside of a symetrical continuation triangle. With little resistance overhead, it is quite reasonable that crude oil will continue to rise from it’s current price of $83 / barrel, to over $96 per barrel.
As a technical trader, I usually don’t spend much time talking about market fundamentals. However, there are some underlying forces that can never be ignored when doing market forecasts. Clearly the price of crude oil has had a profound effect on the stock market over the past 5 years.
You can clearly see that $70 crude oil caused the markets to slow down, eventually creating the tell tale double top. Once crude crossed $90 per barrel, the S&P 500 crashed through the 1400 support level, and the previous bull market which lasted nearly 6 years came to a screeching halt. Will it happen again? It’s quite possible.
