LIGHT CRUDE OIL

Followers of Tech Charts who are interested in energy prices would remember my earlier posts on Light Crude Oil in February. I always like to use same templates on price charts while analyzing historical data. Looking at the same indicators puts you in sync with price movements. Band width indicator is a perfect example of repetitive cycles. Analyzing price data with this volatility indicator helped me to forecast strong trend periods on crude oil.

Technical conditions are suggesting another strong trend period for oil prices. Given that the price consolidated above 103.75 levels and formed a bullish flag, possibility of an upward spike is higher. In the short-term volatility  will increase. As we always do, we are going to wait for a confirmation of the breakout in one direction. An upward break above 109 levels will push prices towards $115 levels. Strong support is currently standing at $103.75 levels.
