For the Week of December 09, 2013

Highlighting This Week’s Potential Breakouts:
Unleaded Gasoline
The January 2014 RBOB contract is setup for a trade to the upside. The contract has potentially found support along a lower trend line. There are touches at 2.4922 (11/07/13), 2.4995 (11/08/13), 2.6586 (12/02/13), and 2.6967 (12/05/13). There is also support at a 20-day Exponential Moving Average of 2.6734 and a 50-day Moving Average of 2.6270. The resistance to upside are the highs of 2.7436 (9/13/13), 2.7450 (11/22/13), 2.7496 (12/04/13), 2.7490 (12/05/13), and 2.7545 (12/06/13). A break of the highest high of 2.7545, will trigger an entry to the upside based on the Momentum Entry Technique. On the conservative side, wait for a close above the recent highs. The Trend Seeker (a U.S. Chart Company tool to help identify market trend is Up. The MACD, a trend indicator, agrees, as its bullish but above the baseline.
