Commodities

After watching Crude Oil fall from the $65ppb level to the $58 ppb level (-10.7%) over the past few weeks, we stillbelieve the energy sector is setting up for another great trade for skilledinvestors/traders.

We are all keenly aware that Winter is stillhere and that heating oil demands may continue to push certain energy priceshigher.  Yet Winter is also a time whenpeople don’t travel as much and, overall, energy prices tend to weakenthroughout Winter.

Over the past 37 years, the historical monthly breakdown for Crude Oil is as follows: December: Generally lower by -$0.33 to -$0.86.  Averages to the downside: -3.65 to +3.08 January: Generally lower by -$4.57 to -$6.72.  Averages to the downside: -2.68 to +2.27 February: Generally higher by +$8.41 to +13.73.  Averages to the upside +3.07 to -2.54 March: Generally higher by +7.33 to +$15.62.  Averages to the upside by +2.84 to -2.14


Over the past 25 years, the historical monthly breakdown for Natural Gas is as follows: December: Generally lower by -$2.34 to -$5.26.  Averages to the downside: -0.81 to +0.69 January: Generally lower by -$5.14 to -$7.97.  Averages to the downside: -0.69 to +0.45 February: Generally lower by -$1.48 to -$3.62.  Averages to the downside -0.50 to +0.49 March: Generally higher by +0.63 to +$1.88.  Averages to the upside by +0.41 to -0.70

Over the past 35 years, the historical monthly breakdown for Heating Oil is as follows: December: Generally lower by -$0.16 to -$0.37.  Averages to the downside: -0.14 to +0.09 January: Generally lower by -$0.52 to -$0.96.  Averages to the downside: -0.09 to +0.10 February: Generally higher by +$0.48 to +$1.06.  Averages to the upside +0.11 to -0.08 March: Generally higher by +0.03 to +$0.11.  Averages to the upside by +0.09 to -0.10

This data suggests an extended Winter in theUS may prompt further contraction in certain segments of the energy sector thatmay prompt an exaggerated downside price move in Crude Oil and NaturalGas.  Heating Oil may rise a bit if thecold weather continues well past March/April 2019.

Conversely, if an early spring sets up inthe US, then Crude Oil may begin to base a bit as people begin to travelingmore, but Heating Oil and Natural Gas may decline as cold weather demandsabate.

Heating Oil has almost mirrored Crude Oil inprice action recently.  Our modelingsystems are suggesting that Crude Oil may attempt to move below $40 ppb.  This move would be a result of a number offactors – mostly slowing global demand and a shift to electric vehicles.  We authored this research post early inJanuary 2020 – please review it.

January 8, 2020: IS THE ENERGY SECTOR SETTING UP ANOTHER GREAT ENTRY?

We believe any price level below $40 in ERYis setting up for a very strong basing level going forward.  We have identified two “pullback zones”.  The first is what we call the “Deep PullbackZone”.  The second is what we call the“Deeper Pullback Zone”.  Any upside pricemove from below $40 to recent upside target levels (above $50) would representa 25%+ price rotation.

Historically, February is a very strongmonth for ERY.  The data going back overthe past 12 years suggests February produces substantially higher upside pricegains (+1899.30 to -394.28) – translating into a 4.8:1 upside price ratio over12 years.  Both January and March reflectoverall price weakness in ERY over the past 12 years.  Thus, the real opportunity is the setup ofthe “February price advance”.

We believe any opportunity to take advantageof this historical technical price pattern is advantageous for skilledtraders/investors.

This is a pure technical pattern based onprice bar data mining.  This is somethingyou may not have ever considered unless you had the tools to search forhistorical price anomalies and rotation patterns.  We have created a suite of tools and pricemodeling systems we use to help our members find incredible opportunities –this being one of them.

Get ready, February will likely prompt a very nice rally in ERY if historical price triggers confirm future price activity.  The price pattern in February suggests a large upside price move is likely in ERY and we believe these low price basing patterns are an excellent opportunity for skilled traders.
