Two conventional ABC patterns are driving crude higher to, respectively, 75.80 and 77.48. Both of these Hidden Pivot resistances are shown in the chart, with HP levels that should be tradable. That implies that a pullback to the green line from Friday’s high at our sweet spot would trigger an appealing ‘mechanical’ buy. Also, a subsequent rally to the target could be shorted with a tightly constructed reverse pattern. The larger ABC has a midpoint resistance at 73.44, and an ‘x’ green line at 72.26 that also would be buyable. Bottom line: Expect Feb Crude to continue higher, with no dips below C=69.28, to at least 77.48.
