Our research team warned of this move in Crude Oil back on October 7, 2018. At that time, we cautioned that Oil may follow a historical price pattern, moving dramatically lower and that lows near $65 may become the ultimate bottom for that move. Here we are with a price below that level, and many are asking “where will it go from here?”.
We believe the support near $65, although clearly broken, may eventually become resistance for a future upside price move. Our proprietary Fibonacci price modeling system is suggesting a new target near $52~53, and we believe this downside move in Oil is far from over at this point.
The current global climate for Oil is that suppliers are pumping more and more oil into the market at a time when, historically, prices should continue to decline. One of our research tools includes the ability to identify overall bias models for each week, month or quarter. Traditionally, Oil is dramatically weaker in November and relatively flat for December.
Analysis for November = 11
Total Monthly Sum: -44.52000000000001 across 36 bars
Analysis for December = 12
Total Monthly Sum: -0.699999999999922 across 36 bars
We believe the price of oil will continue to drift lower to target the $52~53 Fibonacci support level before attempting to find any real price support. This equates to an addition -6 to -8% price decline for skilled traders. We will alert you with a new research post as this downward price movement continues or new research becomes available.
You don’t have to be smart to make money in the stock market, you just need to think differently. That means: we do not equate an “up” market with a “good” market and vice versa – all markets present opportunities to make money!
We believe you can always take what the market gives you, and make a CONSISTENT money.

If $52-$53 is broken, are we looking at $47.50 for the the next potential level of support?
For Crude Oil,(CMP- $ 56.55 ) got support at $ 55, which level is quite significant, so in a further Relief rally, upward move up to or in the range of $ 58 to $ 66 can't be ruled-out. However, I think it will be quite hard to find any sustainable continuous Bull Run, and on the other side, Lower break out of $ 55 and $ 52 will be may extend up to $ 42
