Oil - It's in Everything!
Oil broke-out of a major 20+ yr. consolidation phase during the summer of 2004 at ~ $40. Fibonacci advancement levels proved important indicators to keep an eye on. Those being $64, $104 and $144. Once the peak in oil at ~$144 happened - Oil did what was considered normal to do - Retest the Break-out! This is exactly what it did. In 2009 oil was bouncing off key support levels of $40. A subsequent rise back to the $104 level and from there consolidation. What was showing as an upward wedge formation proved challenging due to the impending shale boom here in the United States. A collapse again to retest the $40 support level proved beneficial for oil from a long-term perspective.
