Oil Set for $91 on Range Break, BarCap Says: Technical Analy

Bloomberg.com -- Nov. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil is set to reach $91 a barrel in New York after breaking through its four-month trading range and 200-week moving average, according to technical analysis by Barclays Capital.

Crude is poised to close above its 200-week mean for a third week after staying below this level for the past year. The commodity has also breached a range roughly between $60 and $76 that held from June to October, the bank said. This creates the potential to form a new range of similar size that may take prices in a “measured move” up to $91 a barrel, Barclays said.

“The breakout of that range gives an upside target to the $91 area,” Barclays analyst MacNeil Curry said in a telephone interview from New York.

Wolfwings Champion Author Delaware Posts:3,068 Points:653,505 Joined:May 2004	Message Posted: Nov 7, 2009 1:52:18 PM Ignore Wolfwings Report Abuse The problem, as I see it, is that we are still buying oil no mater what the suppliers are charging. The ONLY WAY to get prices down is to STOP any unnecessary driving by walking, taking public transportation and combining driving chores so that we USE LESS. Once suppliers (and SPECK-u-lators) see their profits going down they will opt for some profit over no profit and lower their prices. We got the price down from $4 bucks, now lets get it under $2.

LanguageMan1 Champion Author Tampa Posts:4,833 Points:547,925 Joined:Apr 2008	Message Posted: Nov 7, 2009 12:59:08 PM Ignore LanguageMan1 Report Abuse What a bunch of bull from the media and government today. Economy getting better while more are losing their jobs, homes, businesses going under, and them closing more and more banks [over a 100 so far this year, and more of them every Friday, every week. Maybe your bank is next! Wanna bet on Bank of America or one of the other big ones next or in the next few weeks?], etc. This economy hasn't turned around. We're using less oil, less gas; which means that the prices are artificially inflated. We'll be using less in the coming weeks and months ahead, and once the retail numbers come in for the holiday season, it'll reflect further on how bad it is this year. While the price of oil and gas might go up for a short time, it'll come back down below $65 and probably below $54 for a short time as well. After that though, watch it head on up past $100 a barrel, even past $150. Better save your money, reduce all your energy costs, improve the mileage your getting or get into a more fuel efficient vehicle, because your electric rates will go up by 30, 50 and 100% and you'll be paying ovewr $5 a gallon for gas soon enough here in the US and you'll be paying $5 for a dozen eggs or loaf of bread. Better to save the money, invest it and make more, spend some to reduce your monthly costs, etc. You'll be especially glad when oil head up past $180 a barrel.
