Oil due to spike as Iraq crisis continues

138 views

Steve O’Hare from first4trading.com is looking at Crude oil. Price action in Crude Oil has formed a second consecutive bullish flag with a measured target of USD 111.20. Steve has noted that this target lines up with a 161.8% Fibonacci extension target and therefore USD 111.20 is a natural target because it coincides with the top of the long term symmetrical triangle.

The tensions in Iraq continue to threaten global oil supplies and this remains a constant worry. Until we see some sort of solution Steve expects oil prices to continue to press higher. Yesterday prices dipped to the bottom of the flag formation and buying interest re-emerged.
This current situation is an ideal risk/reward trade, according to Steve, who's looking to buy at current levels and a dip to USD 105.00 with a stop at USD 103.50. Targets are USD 107.50 & USD 111.00.
