Oil is one of the most commonly traded commodities in the world, and is available for trade in most of the top Forex trading platforms, as well as in many leading binary options platforms.
Oil is often known as petroleum, though in reality, petroleum is the result of the processing of crude oil, a natural liquid that is found underground. Crude oil prices fluctuate based on a variety of factors including natural disasters, political factors and fluctuations in the currency markets.
Likewise, oil prices also affect the Forex market, and therefore, it’s hardly surprising that many Forex traders also keep an eye on crude oil prices, and many even trade crude oil as a way to diversify their trading. To help you expand your trading horizons, the DailyForex trading room is happy to provide you with regular crude oil price technical analysis – we hope that it helps you trade profitably!
The WTI Crude Oil markets fell yet again during the session on Wednesday, plummeting down to the 92.50 support level again.

The WTI Crude Oil markets had a slightly positive session on Tuesday, as the $94 level continues to be a magnet for price as it had been back during the month of November. The shape of the candle doesn’t say much, but it does look mildly supportive.

On the last day of trading four 2013, you can see that the WTI Crude Oil markets had fallen down to the $98.50 level. This area begins a significant amount of support as far as I can tell, and as a result I believe that we will see a supportive candle in the next couple of sessions.

The WTI Crude Oil markets went back and forth during the session on Wednesday, as we continue to meander around the $98 handle. The $98 handle has shown a significant amount resistance lately, but I don’t necessarily think that it’s any type of major blockade for the buyers, it’s just simply the fact that we’re getting towards the end of the year.
The WTI Crude Oil markets have a positive session on Monday, breaking above the $97.50 level for the close. As a matter of fact, we went as high as $98, but stopped abruptly and turned back around as the area showed itself to be far too resistive.
