Reducing the noise

To reduce the uncomfortable noise of the sharp plunge, we will analyse the potential moves in Crude Oil watching different signals that could indicate the possible movement. In one hand, the VXXLE index (the CBOE Energy Sector ETF Volatility Index) has broken down the ascending trend line and currently is moving below the 5-days moving average, but RSI still moves above 50, indicating that the energy group still have bearish potential.

In the second hand, the RBOB Gasoline (RB) has fallen under the Fibonacci level 161.8%; this situation makes us suspect that the energy group still have a bearish potential, which could fall to the zone between 1.6249 and 1.5481. If the price drops to this area, oscillators like MACD or RSI should show a bullish divergence as an exhaustion movement of the bearish cycle.

Bearish Continuation

The clue provided by the Gasoline chart, make us see that Crude Oil still have the potential of bearish continuation. For the coming sessions, we could expect a limited breath to the last consolidation zone between %66.09 and $68.00. From this area, we foresee more drops with the potential target in the area between  $59 and $56.15.
