Proshares Ultra Crude Oil UCO --Update

 Subscribe in a reader

Well WTI Crude Oil hit ITZ $110 February Target called back in the fall of 2011. ITZ was looking for resistance at $110 and a pullback towards the breakout around $103...maybe even  a retest of $100. Past Post

Today's market action had stocks, gold, silver rising..but WTI oil sold off late in the day...not bullish.

ITZ has over the last few years, suggested readers of this blog to trade the Proshares Ultra Crude Oil etfs UCO & SCO.  Since October when we suggested entering UCO at $26 and then trading in and out and recently riding the 75% position. Until today, ITZ suggested stop on 1/2 position was hit @ $47. We now have a 50% position with the next incremental stops set at $46 & $45, which maybe hit tomorrow? Past ITZ UCO Trades

If you decided to follow ITZ's suggested Buy & Sell calls on UCO, using as an example 100 shares per 1/4 position. Starting with 400 shares @ $26 = $10,400...the trades as of today's close $46.48 would now be worth $18, 736 for an 80% profit. Granted if the remaining position are sold the return will net 77.9% in 5 months...not bad!

So is it time to short crude? Lets see how the next few days play out. If the remaining UCO position is stopped, then lets leg into a Proshares Ultra Short Crude Oil (SCO) position

What's Next For WTI Crude Oil?

 Subscribe in a reader

ITZ has been bullish on the commodity sector for sometime, WTI crude oil has broken out and now nearing the $110 targeted level from last year. There is some debate as to the current spike being driven by the Iranian tensions, but crude oil has been in a longer term rising channel since January 2009. We should see a minor pullback, perhaps a throwback to $103, but that should be bought. ITZ believes that U.S. economic recovery is underway along with rising global demand from China needing more and more energy.

WTI Crude Oil Update 2-22-12

 Subscribe in a reader

ITZ noted that WTI crude oil had broken out and was heading towards the $116 level. Back in November 2011 ITZ posted a chart showing POST... WTI/Gold directional movements, this chart has been posted several times on this blog over the last few years. Not a precise and accurate timing metric, however, it is just another tool ITZ uses in gauging oil's direction. Below is an up to date chart. Depending on how the Iranian situation develops, most likely things could improve near term with WTI crude dropping back under $100 a barrel. Depending on how gold does in the coming weeks, should it break above $1800 resistance. Then ITZ believes that WTI crude will follow target $116, perhaps higher.
