Possible Top in Daily Crude Oil

This is a morning post before the stock market opens for the day.

If you examine the daily chart of Crude Oil using the EMA-34, and some trend lines as a guide, it is possible that we have a top in Crude. Here is a chart.

WTI Crude Oil Futures - Daily - Possible Top

The Elliott Wave Oscillator has a very characteristic converging triangle signature. It would be a "running triangle" in this case. The daily EMA-34 weaves through each of the triangle's waves for good form and balance, and the minute ((e)) wave overlaps Minor wave 3, as is required from a running triangle. Further, triangles 'usually', 'most-often' precede the last wave in the series, up, in this case, and that may be what happened here.

Validation of a likely top would occur if CL makes a 1.618 or more extension from the first wave down off the high, and if the minute ((e)) wave is exceeded lower.

Have a good day.

  1. I am a believer of the Top is in outlook.
    imho amateur count is for phase 1 : WTI to $64-62; and Brent to $74 -72, possibly.
