Normally, after tensions between Iran\/Iraq and the US flare-up, Oil and Gold rally quite extensively but reversed sharply lower by the end of the session.<\/p>\n

Yes, Gold is 1% higher today and was up over $35 overnight, but Crude Oil has actually moved lower today which is a fairly strong indication that disruptions in oil supply from the Middle East are not as concerning as they were 10+ years ago. Traders and investors don\u2019t believe this isolated targeted missile attack will result in any extended aggression between the US and Iran.<\/p>\n

When past conflicts in the Middle East happened, Oil would typically rally and Gold would spike higher as well.\u00a0 Consider this a reflex action to uncertain oil supply issues and concerns that global market uncertainty could crash the markets.\u00a0 Gold seems like an easy expectation related to this type of uncertainty as it continues to act as a hedge against many risks like missiles\/war, financial uncertainties etc\u2026<\/p>\n

In my pre-market video report to subscribers today (Monday, Jan 6th) I pointed out how the price of crude oil was testing a critical resistance area form the last time there were missiles fired. Today\u2019s reversal is not a huge surprise and in fact, it looks like an exhaustion top.<\/p>\n

Oil, on the other hand, has experienced one of the longer price declines in recent history, from the peak price near $147 near July 2008 to levels currently near $63.\u00a0 But we saw a low price for oil below $30 (near February 2016).<\/p>

Crude Oil Daily Chart<\/h3>\n

I believe a technical resistance channel may be pushing Oil prices lower today as the price has continued to rotate lower after moving into this extended Resistance Channel.\u00a0 It may be that global traders don\u2019t believe this conflict with Iran will result in any type of massive oil supply disruption or risk for the global markets right away.\u00a0 The Resistance Channel, between $63 and $65.50, has continued to act as a price ceiling over the past 7+ months.<\/p>\n

Crude Oil Weekly Chart<\/h3>\n

Our proprietary Fibonacci Price Modeling system is highlighting similar levels near $64 and $50.\u00a0 This price modeling system maps and tracks price rotation using a proprietary adaptive Fibonacci price theory model.\u00a0 These levels, highlighted on this chart, represent immediate price target levels for any upside move (CYAN, already reached) and any downside move (BLUE, suggesting a move back towards $50 may be in the works).<\/p>\n

If Oil is not capable of breaking above this Resistance Channel, then Fibonacci Price Theory would suggest price must turn lower and attempt to establish a new LOW PRICE level that is below recent low price levels.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

If this Resistance Channel continues to act as a solid price ceiling, Crude Oil may turn lower over the first few quarters of 2020 and attempt to target levels near or below $50 fairly soon.\u00a0 Skilled traders should prepare for this type of move and identify opportunities for profits in the near future.<\/p>\n

In fact, I also gave subscribers a head up that GDXJ and TLT were going to gap higher and likely be under pressure all session. Also, I showed how the SP500 was going to gap lower deep into oversold territory and likely rally strongly just like last Friday, all of these things happened perfectly today.<\/p>\n

Pre-market GDXJ, SPY, TLT warning of price gaps into extreme territories beyond the small colored lines: Red (overbought level), and Green (oversold level)<\/p>\n
