Oil - long term trend line



In this post is shown long term trend lines for Crude Oil and some Major Oil companies traded on NYSE.  It is interesting to see that many of these are flirting with the lower trend line supports. If the support provided by the trend lines are not decisively broken, it is likely that a turn around in prices is around the corner.

The below given monthly chart of WTI crude shows that crude just broke below its long term trend line. This may quite likely turn out to be a false break out. If it indeed is a false breakout prices need to very quickly rise back to be within the trend line.

Like Exxon Mobile, Conoco Phillipe is also not at its support at the trend line. But it is at 61.8% retracement level of the move it made from the bottom in 2009 till the July 2014 top.

Following is the chart for RDSa PLC (traded on NYSE). Last time in 2009  when it broke below the long term trend line, it quickly came back up to resume the up trend.
