Crude Oil Price Forecast – crude oil markets soft again
WTI and Brent both struggled during the trading session on Thursday, as we continue to see weakness in the commodity markets overall. Commodity markets have been rocked, mainly because of the US dollar strengthening and a certain amount of fear when it comes to global markets. · FX Empire

WTI Crude Oil

The WTI Crude Oil market fell during the trading session on Thursday, reaching below the $72 level. This is an area that has been supportive in the past, but quite frankly this looks like a market that is trying to break down even further. I anticipate that the $70 level underneath should be massive support, so a break down below the $70 level will be catastrophic for the midterm. I think overall though, we will see value hunters coming back into the marketplace given enough time.

Brent

Brent markets also fell during the day, reaching towards the $81 level. That’s an area that looks to be offering support, but quite frankly it looks as if the oil market is trying to break down. If it does, I think the $80 level would be a reasonable target for short-term traders, and of course longer-term traders will be paying attention to the crucial $80 level as it has a lot of psychology attached to it. In general, I believe that the oil markets are finally starting to struggle due to fears of a global slowdown, and of course surprise builds in inventory in the United States. Overall, I think there are buyers underneath it we certainly aren’t in a comfortable position to start buying it at this point. I would need to see at least a daily candle that show signs of life again before I would be, a long trader. Expect noise to say the least.
