Crude 2019 Channel Play

Ever since the beginning of 2019, Crude Oil has been trading in a very consistent upward channel. At the moment, we are currently at the upper bounds of the channel, and crude is due for a drop to the bottom of the channel.

Looking at this channel, as well as historical zones of support and resistance a good entry would be in the range of 60.50-60.80 with a price target of 57-58, depending on how fast/slow it moves. Based on previous price action in this channel, I expect the move to take anywhere from 5 to 14 days to play out fully.

Longer term, at the time of writing this, crude fundamentals seem strong, and I expect it to remain this way. For this reason, I don't foresee the channel to break to the downside, but it is a small possibility. More likely that bulls continue the upward trend after this slight pullback.
