If this support $19/20 breaks, I am not bullish. Will also wait for Rollover (June contract)
I was showed a potential reversal in my analysis from April 13. from the lowest point at aprox current level of $20. The low from March 30. were at 19.24. today the low is 19.24 for now, but the current oil inventories data from yesterday and today don’t give much hope for such a move. If the sellers continue to push the price down, next target could be at $17.50 or even $16.00 easy in the coming days. For now, the floor above $19 is holding, but can it last in such a conditions? I am not bearish at the moment, despite the bad data, but will wait to see how the things could developed here. I know it’s not good to catch a falling knife, but I am searching for the opportunity to placed my swing long somewere around. One important thing is that, the new June contract should be with much higer price and we should wait as see until rollover. Be very carefull!
