WTI 3-Year Weekly Chart

WTI Daily Candlestick Chart
Daily candlestick chart for WTI showing the support level around 80. There was heavy volume on Thursday as the shorts covered. But the spinning top candlestick on Friday indicates ambivalence. It is not the time to go long or short. We will have to monitor future price action. There is a high probability the bears will take another run at testing the support level.

The hammer on today’s chart is a reversal pattern. This is an indicator that the intermediate downtrend will end. It does not mean that copper will suddenly reverse direction: it could ease into a consolidation zone. The price action today is reflected in the hammer. Copper opened at $3.18 and then traded down to $3.06 which was close to major support at $3.00. It then closed at $3.20.

The hammer candlestick line is a reversal indicator. In this case, there is an increased probability that the six day near-term downtrend for DJIA will end. The price action for the hammer is a graphical representation of the index attempting to hold support at the 13,000 level which is also near the 200-day moving average. Follow the price action the next day which will confirm or nullify the hammer. A confirmed break below 13,000 would be a bad omen for the Dow. I use a time and percentage filter for the confirmation: 2% break that holds for two trading days. There is flexibility with this trading rule. As a matter of fact, there is flexibility with most trading rules in technical analysis.
