With all the war noise going on at present, crude oil is hovering around US$110.00 again (WTI) waiting for the tomahawk missiles to be launched (very sad in the wiz's opinion).
A clear KEY level of 115.00 has held price action in check for two years and is needed to be closed above on a monthly closing basis to get a charge to 140.00 and above This would be a disaster for the world economy.
The green line on the chart the 60 period moving average hasn’t turned up with this spike in price in the last 3 months. Whilst considering this is a monthly chart, it still needs to be trending up (like between 2004 -2008) for strength.
The next few weeks will be very interesting with the war drums beating, and where crude oil closes for the month of September even more important.
