Commodity Research Bureau Index, Crude Oil, and Gold Plummet

If you visited the blog over the weekend (How Low is Low?), you know that penetrating major support areas did not bode well for oil and gold. Either though I did not show you the chart on gold, its price was behaving just like the CRB Index andcrude oil. Today, the CRB Index was down 6.66 or (2.08%), crude oil was down $.64 or (.97%), and gold dropped $20 or (3.2%).

With today's price action, these markets are in the most "oversold" since last year. Therefore, expect a strong rally back up to the 50-week EMA as shorts cover to lock-in profits. Overall, I am still expecting oil to sell in the low $50's before this decline is over.

Make sure you visit the course Web page, because I have some exercises for you to do for tomorrow's class.
