Crude Oil Report - Ichimoku Kinko Hyo and DeMark Analysis
Weekly Charts Analysis
Crude oil showed a Perfected Sell Setup (Red Arrow) and a TD Combo count 13 completion in the
same week (Apr 2010). Perfected sell setup has a high probability of a 1 -4 bars correction while TD
Combo 13 countdown completion suggests market exhaustion. Markets then proceeded with a sell
off to reach the Kumo cloud which provided support for crude prices.
Kumo cloud support region was respected. TD Combo Risk Level due to the Apr 2010 TD Combo
countdown completion stands at 90.06. Crude price is hovering around the risk line early this year.
At Friday's close, a buy setup was initiated. Watch for qualified breakouts of the risk line in coming
months. A qualified breakout (represented as a solid line vs a dotted line here) early in the setup
would suggest a good chance of the completion of the setup and countdown.

The reason why we are cautious of a breakout higher is due to the bullish picture painted by the
Ichimoku Kinko Hyo. Since the Tenkan Sen crossed above the Kijun Sen in July 2010, prices
advanced about 20%. Chikou is well above prices at the moment and the future Kumo is bullish as
well
Watch for a pullback to the Kijun Sen for the next possible entry point.
Figure 1. Weekly Chart (TD Sequential)
The appearance of the TD Sequential countdown completion followed by the confirmation of the TD
Combo countdown completion was a good sell entry back in April 2010 with a possible stop slightly
above the risk line at 90.06.
