February 5 (King World News) – “Crude oil volatility has picked up, with three moves of more than 7% over the past four days. That is the type of activity that we've been looking for following a crash, but in 1986 and 2008, these extreme moves persisted before a low-risk rally took hold (see charts below).
About the most dangerous activity across markets right now is trying to pick a bottom in crude oil. That has been the case for a couple of months, and continues to be so.
… YES, it is exactly the kind of activity we see when crude has formed post-crash bottoms, but NO we have not seen enough of it.
… A 7% daily move (up or down) in crude is a 3 standard deviation event. The chart above shows how many of these 7% moves crude made over a 30-day period.
As noted on the chart, the only two occurrences were in 1986 and 2008, during the post-crash bottoming process. Several of the measures we've discussed for crude suggest that the commodity is within the window of when it should start bottoming, so this week's activity is a great start. It's just likely to last into the spring before an investable bottom is in place.
King World News note: The following 7-year chart shows the extreme negative sentiment readings that are still in place in the crude oil market (see below).
King World News note: Also of interest is the following 7-year chart which shows the most pessimestic sentiment readings on the CRB Index for the past 7 years. With such extreme negative sentiment in place, it might be time for a significant rally in the CRB (see chart below).
KWN note continues: A rally in crude oil and the CRB Index would also provide significant upside momentum for the gold and silver markets.
