Oil Targeting $55.00 - Oil Mar 19 (Chart 1)

Oils break above its 100-day MA for the first time since August has further upside to garner as the momentum traders will be prompted by ample territory towards the $55.00-20 target. Todays most likely close about $50.30, is already validating the uptrend, while a close above $50.80 for the week should spell more definitive upside as it signals the top of the rising channel from the Feb 19 low. Integrating intermarket analysis into my underlying assessment for prolonged gains in risk appetite, the time element remains supportive, especially as this remains clearly a dollar-driven story.

Nice analysis from all and thanks you Ashraf for the oppertunity to add to you website i had meet you on the Las Vegas forex show in October 2008 i was impressed with you knowledge of the markets and that time you had shared, that you had a book coming well i got it and i enjoyed it throughtly

Thanks again on the EUR/USD i do see a retracement till next monthe and after that price action will thell if the Monthly chart is done going down and i'm sure it will affect the oil trade so until than i'm still bearish on the monthly chart on the EUR/USD so i look at it as a Fractol run on the weekly not long term as of yet

Thanks

according what i read from you yu expect sell pressure on usd till end April (more or less) , and than we will see again traders bying usd. That means , that oil after reach $55 could retest is lows one more, before run up again.

Is that correct?

Thanks and ill read yur book, and try to understand this markets.

Thanks Ashraf; am looking forward to reading your book. I have been following your analysis for a couple of years and very much admire your insights and form of analysis.
Since the end of the last year i am at a total loss as to where currencies are going in the medium term (i mainly follow the eur/gbp gbp/usd and eur/usd). With the shear size of the amount of dollars that are being printed and the near zero rates of the usd, it is not clear to me why the dollar is still so strong. On the other hand, the euro zone is clearly behind the curve and may struglge to survive over the next 2 years as the pigs drag it down. The logic would seem that the euro streghtens over the next few months and then collapses again. Where do you see the points of inflexion? And the poor gbp; where will it find its place in the new order. It does not seem to know who to follow, the usd or the euro; or will it come out as a leader having suffred the most?

isi, oil and eurusd relationship correlation has been notoriously positive these past few years. Chapter 2 of my book discusses the historical relation with the US dollar. The relationship is self-feeding as it can be explained with either way... weak dollar means more dollars are needed to buy rising oil, and/or falling dollar entices OPEC to cut supply and push up prices. Despite negative growth dynamics for global economy and negative implications for oil, speculators sense a a bottom was reached for them to start buying low, while consumers start locking up these deliveries in the futures markets at such attractive prices. euro techs suggest $1.3855 is next target.

Is it oil prices that follow the eur/usd or vice versa; when oil was at its highest point, the dollar at its lowest; now as oil hit its lowest point, so was the lowest price of oil. The 6% drop in dollar has pulled the oil price higher by an equal %. If there is too much oil around and the fundamentals for it are on the down side, which way do we expect the eur/usd to go?
