Last time, we looked at the fall in the price of crude oil and it seems to have gone back up again. Why?
The answer on WTI is in the energy economic calendar.
Yesterday’s US Crude Oil and Gasoline Inventories came in way lower than predicted driving prices higher.
Price action is now at a key level of resistance with the stochastic oscillator in overbought territory so we might have a range trading opportunity for a few days.
If we look at the daily chart we see the formation of a rising wedge which is often a bearish pattern.
If you like range trading you might want to look at CADCHF where we have had clear support and resistance for 2 weeks now.
To be honest, almost everything is consolidating now, including gold, as we have 2 days, Thursday and Friday, with lots of US economic news.
Silver, however, is ignoring everyone and rallying.
Analysts feel that $26 will be the ceiling and if you are waiting for a reversal to the downside, watch your indicators on all time frames.
GBPNZD is consolidating into a symmetrical pennant so we will watch for a breakout.
But be aware that there will be some serious economic news coming out of London late next week.

Gold declines below $2,620, erases weekly gains
Gold edges lower in the second half of the day and trades below $2,620, looking to end the week marginally lower. Although the cautious market mood helps XAU/USD hold its ground, growing expectations for a less-dovish Fed policy outlook caps the pair's upside.
Bitcoin misses Santa rally even as on-chain metrics show signs of price recovery
Bitcoin (BTC) price hovers around $97,000 on Friday, erasing most of the gains from earlier this week, as the largest cryptocurrency missed the so-called Santa Claus rally, the increase in prices prior to and immediately following Christmas Day.
2025 outlook: What is next for developed economies and currencies?
As the door closes in 2024, and while the year feels like it has passed in the blink of an eye, a lot has happened. If I had to summarise it all in four words, it would be: ‘a year of surprises’.
