FX.co ★ Elliott wave analysis for Crude Oil for July 8, 2021

Crude spiked to a high of 76.98 or just above our ideal target at 76.74. In our last updated from July 6, we stated that a short-term spike above our ideal target was possible, but it wouldn't last long and would quickly be reversed to the downside for a deeper corrective decline towards at least 62.67 and possibly even closer to resistance near 57.25.

The quick spike to 76.98 was quickly reversed and the following break below minor support at 74.41 would be the first strong indication that a top was in place an a deeper corrective decline now is in motion towards support at 62.67 and possibly lower.

Trading recommendation:

Sell crude oil and place your stop at 74.90 for a decline to at least 62.67
