Crude oil looks bullish

B.Krishnakumar

Short-term view

The near month crude oil futures closed on a strong note at 62.91 cents a barrel on Friday. The short-term outlook is bullish and a rise to 63.8-64 cents appears likely. A close above 64 cents would impart further momentum that could take prices to the next target zone at 66.5-67 cents. The short-term positive outlook would be negated on a close below 60.4 cents mark.

Long term outlook

Crude oil futures price appears to be in the midst of a corrective phase to the earlier rally that peaked just above the 70 cents mark in August last. The price action indicates that there could be a rally to 72-73 cents range on the completion of the corrective phase that the prices are presently confined to. There is a strong support zone at 55-56 cents range. The long-term positive outlook would be in force as long as the prices hold above 55-cents.

(The above analysis is based on technical analysis of the historical price movement. There is a risk of loss in trading.)
