WTI crude oil’s up trend continues and hits as high as 57.37 so far. Oil is now back at pre-pandemic level, partly supported by Saudi Arabia’s move on extra supply cuts in February and March. Traders are also betting on a strong recovery ahead with mass vaccine rolls out.
WTI is on track to 100% projection of 47.24 to 53.92 from 51.58 at 58.26. Reaction to this projection level will indicate the underlying momentum for further upside acceleration. Sustained break would likely bring even quicker rally to 161.8% projection at 62.38.
Break of 56.38 minor support will bring some consolidations. But wouldn’t be any change in the up trend as long as 53.92 resistance turned support holds.
CAD/JPY probably in upside acceleration, targeting 85 projection level
CAD/JPY continued it’s uptrend, on the back on strong oil price and risk-on sentiments. 81.91 key medium term resistance is finally considered firmly taken out, while rise from 72.80 resumed. The solid support from rising 55 day EMA is clearly bullish. At the same time, daily MACD also suggests that the cross is building up side momentum for some acceleration.
Next short to medium term target is 100% projection of 74.76 to 91.91 from 77.91 at 85.06. Also, note that the down trend from 91.62 (2017 high) should have completed at 73.80. Sustained break of 84.74 structural resistance could open up long term rise towards 91.62.
