NY Crude Oil Futures - New Pattern Forming »» Weekly Summary Analysis
By: Marty Armstrong | April 10, 2021

NY Crude Oil Futures closed today at 5932 and is trading up about 22% for the year from last year's settlement of 4852. At present, this market has been rising for 4 months going into April suggesting that this has been a bull market trend on the monthly time level.

ECONOMIC CONFIDENCE MODEL CORRELATION

Here in NY Crude Oil Futures, we do find that this particular market has correlated with our Economic Confidence Model in the past. The Last turning point on the ECM cycle low to line up with this market was 2020 and 2009 and 2001 and 1998 and 1994. The Last turning point on the ECM cycle high to line up with this market was 2018 and 2011 and 2000.

MARKET OVERVIEW
NEAR-TERM OUTLOOK

The historical broader tone of the NY Crude Oil Futures has been a bearish consolidation following the high eastablished back in 2008. Since then, this market has created 5 reaction highs which have been unable to break this overall protracted bearish consolidating trend. Still, the major low was made in 2020 and the market has bounced back for the last year. The last Yearly Reversal to be elected was a Bullish at the close of 2020.

This market remains in a positive position on the weekly to yearly levels of our indicating models.

Focusing on our perspective using the indicating ranges on the Daily level in the NY Crude Oil Futures, this market remains moderately bearish position at this time with the overhead resistance beginning at 6090 and support forming below at 5886. The market is trading closer to the support level at this time.

On the weekly level, the last important high was established the week of March 8th at 6798, which was up 18 weeks from the low made back during the week of November 2nd. This was a key week for at least a temporary high. We have been generally trading down for the past week, which has been a very dramatic move of 7.451% in a stark panic type decline.

Looking at this from a broader perspective, this last rally into the week of March 29th reaching 6227 failed to exceed the previous high of 6798 made back during the week of March 8th. That rally amounted to only one week. Right now, the market is neutral on our weekly Momentum Models warning we have overhead resistance forming and support in the general vacinity of 5828. Additional support is to be found at 5882.

INTERMEDIATE-TERM OUTLOOK

YEARLY MOMENTUM MODEL INDICATOR

Our Momentum Models are declining at this time with the previous high made 2019 while the last low formed on 2020. However, this market has declined in price with the last cyclical low formed on 2020 warning that this market remains weak at this time on a correlation perspective declining in both price and Momentum.

Interestingly, the NY Crude Oil Futures has been in a bullish phase for the past 11 months since the low established back in April 2020.

Critical support still underlies this market at 5110 and a break of that level on a monthly closing basis would warn that a sustainable decline ahead becomes possible. Immediately, the market is trading within last month's trading range in a neutral position.
