Hamilton's E-Wave Analysis

OIL

oil jan 20 2016

Unlike the Bank of we have no idea how low oil might  go. Not too long ago they had no idea but now, all of a sudden they are confident it will trade at about $36 on average for the remainder of 2016. At least we have been pretty accurate with our predictions.

Where we are now it is hard to fathom . All we do know is that the 4th of previous degree, not that long ago in 1998 or so, is around $11. Furthermore the 5th wave in commodities unlike equities is often the longest. On top of that we still are of the opinion that a 4 and 5 are still required. In short, do not believe anything you hear on TV from experts that never dreamed that oil could  possible go below $80 or so.

Wave 5 would be equal to 3 at about $25. After that there is little else than that 4th wave of previous degree at $11 to guide us.

Tonight the futures roll-over with the front month becoming March instead of February. Due to contango, there will be a price increase of about a dollar due to the downward slope.
