Crude Oil buying opportunity

Crude Oil buying opportunity
 This is the fifth buy signal I have had since the daily chart changed to up at the end of March. Oil has also been trading above the nine period moving average I consider that a super trend. Support is at 5850 and resistance is at 6140 on the June contract. The weekly chart had a changed to the upside last week and has consistently been making higher lows since the bottom. So long as 5607 holds this trend should continue. The weekly chart suggests that crude should continue this trend for at least several more weeks. I have resistance at 6050 ,6500 and 6900. Although the trend is still down on the monthly chart my research has a King's Cross indicator counter trend buy signal that should eventually get crude to $80. Only a new contract low would negate this.
Bullish Highlights
  • 1. Buy signals on the daily chart
  • 2. Daily chart has been super trending
  • 3. Weekly chart continues to trend up and trend has changed to up
  • 4. Monthly chart has King's Cross buy signal
  • 5. Global quantitative easing keeping demand up
  • 6. Reduced shall production
  • 7. Conflict in Yemen

Hope springs eternal. The S&P Energy sector is surging once again this morning as crude prices top $60 with stocks now back at Nov 2014 levels (up 12% in the last month). What most do not realize as they blindly follow the momentum, excited that 'something is working' is that the valuations - based on analysts' forward earnings projections - have only been marginally higher than this once... right at the peak in 1999. The S&P Energy sector trades at a 28x Fwd P/E!

Everything is awesome......


And Expensive...

Radian Group Inc (NYSE: RDN)

Radian Group Inc., through its subsidiaries, provides mortgage and real estate products and services in the United States. It operates through two segments, Mortgage Insurance, and Mortgage and Real Estate Services (MRES). The Mortgage Insurance segment provides credit-related insurance coverage, principally through private mortgage insurance that protects mortgage lenders from all or a portion of default-related losses on residential mortgage loans made to home buyers, as well as facilitates the sale of these mortgage loans in the secondary mortgage market. The MRES segment provides outsourced services, information-based analytics, and specialty consulting services for buyers and sellers of, and investors in, mortgage- and real estate-related loans and securities, and other debt instruments.
Take a look at the 1-year chart of Radian (NYSE: RDN) below with added notations:

RDN was on a nice trend higher from August until it's December peak, but then the stock started a sideways move. In addition, twice over the last 5 months the stock had hit a level of resistance at $17.50 (green). That resistance level was also a 52-week high resistance. Back in mid-April RDN finally broke to a new high, and now that same $17.50 level provided support for the stock during Friday's pullback.

The Tale of the Tape: RDN broke out to a new 52-week high. A long trade could be made near $17.50 with a stop placed below that level. A break back below $17.50 would negate the forecast for a continued move higher.
