The Price of Crude Oil Flirts with the $50 Price Level

The price of Crude Oil has appeared to be flirting with the $50-a-barrel mark over the previous week. With the future strength of the USD coming under scrutiny by investors lately, the price of Crude could potentially rise back towards $55 in the days ahead. However, with the latest batch of banking data, the USD could be regaining safe-haven status as investors flee the stock market. This would then push the price of oil back towards $48 a barrel.

Without any signs of a clear direction, the flirtation with the $50 price level is likely to continue. In the absence of any significant news from the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), low confidence in the stock market, and a sinking feeling about the value of the Dollar, Crude Oil could be experiencing some unpredictable volatility over the coming week, but within a relatively clear price range. Traders have a great opportunity to jump into this market today and capture these impending price movements for a healthy profit.
