Nymex Light Crude is headed for a test of resistance at $105/barrel*. Recovery of 13-week Momentum above zero indicates a primary up-trend. Breakout above $105 would confirm, offering a target of $112*. Brent crude, however, continues to range between $104 and $112/barrel.
* Target calculation: 105 + ( 105 – 98 ) = 112
The Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index respected its new support level at 134, confirming a primary up-trend. The signal reinforces earlier recovery of 13-week Twiggs Momentum above zero. Target for the advance is 143. Reversal below 134 is now unlikely, but would warn of a bull trap.
* Target calculation: 134 + ( 134 – 125 ) = 143
