The massive move-up in crude oil on Monday created a new dynamic for this in-the-news market. The move to two-month highs completed one of our favorite major technical formations.

In this short video, I share with you two conflicting indicators and which one I am choosing to go with. I think you’ll find this video technically interesting as well as educational.

If "fundamentals" drive trend changes in financial markets, then shouldn’t the same factors have consistent effects on prices?

For example: Positive economic data should ignite a rally, while negative news should initiate decline. In the real world, though, this is hardly the case.

On a regular basis, markets go up on bad news, down on good news, and both directions on the same news — almost as if to say, "Talk to the hand cuz the chart ain’t listening."

Unable to deny this fly in the fundamental ointment, the mainstream experts often attempt to reconcile the inconsistencies with phrases like "shrugged off," "defied" or "in spite of."

That begs the next question: How do you know when a market is going to cooperate with fundamental logic and when it won’t? ANSWER: You don’t.

Take, for instance, the first three news items below regarding the July 22 performance in crude oil, versus the fourth headline, which occurred on July 23:

1. Crude prices surge nearly 4% in their sharpest one-day percentage gain since May. The rally was "aided by fears that Tropical Storm Bonnie will enter the Gulf of Mexico over the weekend and disrupt oil production." (Wall Street Journal)
2. "Oil Prices Soar As Gulf Storm Threat Looms" (Associated Press)
3. "The storm should keep oil prices bubbling if it continues to strengthen and remain on track." (Bloomberg)

vs.

1. "Oil Slips From Surge Despite Storm Threats" (Commodity Online)

Unlike fundamental analysis, technical analysis methods don’t rely on the news to explain or predict market moves. They look at the markets’ internals instead.

Whether it is the spill in the Gulf, which continues unabated, or talk on Capitol Hill, the subject is crude oil.

Today we received a signal by way of our weekly "Trade Triangle" to get long crude oil. In this new brief video, we show you the exact levels to keep your eye on and also where a logical stop would go for this position.

We have had a lot of questions on Fibonacci retracements lately and this video goes into detail about that phenomenon and how you can best use it.

The crude oil market broke through an important support zone and appears to be very much on the defensive. In this new short video on crude oil, I point out some of the levels that I still think are important in this market and illustrate just how important it is to use both stops and our "Trade Triangle" technology.

It is a short video and there is no charge or registration requirement in order to view.

There is no doubt about it, crude oil has been very choppy. There are two camps involved in the crude oil market: one is bullish and the other is bearish. In this new short video, I show you which camp I am in and what I think is going to happen to the crude oil market for the balance of the year.

You will also get to see the key areas that we have recently approached and reversed back down from, and why this area is so important for the future of crude oil.

Hi, this is Adam Hewison. I am just getting back into the swing of things and decided to take a look at the crude oil market. It’s the first time I’ve looked at this market this year and one thing jumped out at me right away and I wanted to share it with you.

It appears as though crude oil has an amazing cyclic quality that can be timed quite accurately with MarketClub’s “Triangle” technology. In this new short video, I showcase this cycle and how you can take advantage of it.

Today we are looking at a January crude oil contract, but this can be any of the other contract months.

We’ve looked at this market before and were expecting it to go higher. It did not, however, fulfill that promise and with a red weekly “triangle” in place, it appears as though this market is heading down, but is it?

In today’s short video I discover an interesting cycle that I want to share with you. This cycle along with our MACD indicator, daily and weekly “triangles” are beginning to look extremely interesting.

I strongly recommend taking a few minutes out of your day to watch this educational and informative video on crude oil.
