Home › Market News › The Chop Continues But Crude Keeps On The Move
Equity index markets remained choppy Wednesday ahead of more earnings reports due Thursday, and of course, Friday’s jobs report. As stocks traded flat, Crude Oil shot up to new 11-month highs after the EIA reported an inventory draw of 1 million barrels for last week. The EIA report came on the heels of Tuesday’s API estimates showing that crude oil inventories have been falling.

“Ethereum (ETH) has set a new all-time high with a break above its previous record of about USD 1,440. The move comes on the back of highs in other associated metrics such as record weekly transaction count, but also coincides with the network’s risky transition to ETH 2.0.”
The Phil Flynn Energy Report
“Oil prices are surging to new 11-month highs as global oil supplies are projected to be in deficit in 2021, according to OPEC+. The Energy Report readers know that we’ve been projecting the same, as historic cuts in production, a massive pullback in oil and gas investment, and demand that’s already recovered to provide levels in China and India will suck down supply.”

“The stocks go marching 2 by 2, hurrah, hurrah! Overnight, the Nasdaq traded within 15 points, or 1/10 of 1% (11 basis points) from its record, and the S&P half of 1%. Those short spurts of panic late last week and Sunday night have allowed the market’s profile to refresh, creating a new sense of enthusiasm. In fact, the market is right back to focusing on news through a glass-half-full lens.”

Head & Shoulders Top In The Euro
The Head & Shoulders Pattern (H&S) is historically considered one of the most reliable major reversal patterns in technical analysis. Like most reversal patterns, the H&S is most recognizable to an analyst after it has been formed. The real trick lies in identifying the attributes of the formation while it’s setting up so you can be ready to initiate a position once the pattern is confirmed.
First and foremost, to be considered a reversal pattern, an H&S top must be preceded by an uptrend. The same as with most other volume and time play just as significant a role as price while this pattern is forming.
