Please refer to the following chart:<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fnarena.com\/ckfinder\/userfiles\/images\/1_1_GTL.jpg\" style=\"width: 600px;height: 410px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\n\tTechnical analysis identifies significant trending features and in this case the two recorded &quot;bullish outside range&quot; days. One printed in October 2011, the other in February 2012. Since October 2011 crude oil (<span class=\"scayt-misspell\">WTI<\/span>) has had a tremendous run and still has&nbsp;plenty left to run according&nbsp;to the bullish two signals. Many are looking for reasons why crude oil has continued to rally. Technically, there is one main reason: the bullish outside range confirmation.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs it doesn&rsquo;t look like this will subside anytime soon, the conclusion is&nbsp;that crude has plenty of room to run to the immediate target of US$105.50\/barrel, then US$110.00\/barrel. The journey&rsquo;s end may hold to US$122.00\/barrel.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe uptrend in crude oil appears to have started from the retreat from US$113.75\/barrel back in April 2011 and rebound in October 2011 from US$76.50\/barrel. Overall, crude could fall to US$97.00\/barrel and still remain consistent with the long-term uptrend. A breakout above US$105.50\/barrel has a technical upside target near US$110.00-50\/barrel. In the short term the crude oil price may consolidate above US$101.50\/barrel with US$97.00\/barrel firm.<\/p>\n<p>\tOverall, the longer term pressure to the upside will be consistent. The move towards the resistance target near US$112.00\/barrel may be slower in coming weeks but the upward pressure should remain strong. The extension of the trend may end in a &lsquo;parabolic rally&rsquo; following a successful breakout above US$112.00\/barrel, targeting the US$116.00\/$122.00\/barrel window.<br \/>\n\t&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<em>Rob Clayton has for five years produced technical analysis independently through his company &lsquo;Robert Clayton Global Markets&rsquo; having for twelve years prior held the role of senior technical analyst at Westpac Banking Corporation&rsquo;s Institutional Banking Division.
