This past week, Paddy Power Trader featured its Trade of the Week, that being oil. They suggest placing a short bet on it.
The price of Brent Crude has collapsed since just missing the $90 handle at the beginning of May. The rapid decline dropped below the 21-day and 50-day moving averages with such force that it ended the bullish moving average sequence.
Further falls on Monday took the price below the 200-day moving average; this also happened in February, but the move then was short-lived. The 200-day moving average is usually a key support and resistance line and isn't given up without a fight. So on Tuesday, with other technical indicators already bearish, the question was whether the price could hit, and then hold above, this level.
