December crude oil prices on Wednesday hit another all-time record high as prices are in a steep and accelerating uptrend on the daily bar chart. The next upside price objective for the crude oil bulls is to push prices to the major psychological resistance level of $100.00 a barrel. In fact, by the time you read this on Wednesday the crude market may have already touched that key price level. Importantly, traders in the other raw commodity futures markets are paying very close attention to crude oil. Bigger price moves in the "black gold" market will spill over into sympathy moves in other raw commodities, for at least the near term. There are no early technical warning signals to suggest the uptrend in crude oil futures will end anytime soon. However, there is little argument that crude oil prices are in the mature stages of a powerful bull market run. History shows that powerful bull market runs in which prices quickly move to fresh highs are generally followed by prices then backing off the highs just as quickly as those highs were scored. Look for still-higher price volatility in the crude oil market, and the other raw commodity futures markets, in the near term. Indeed, crude oil is king and will continue to be a major influence on other markets for at least the near term. Stay tuned!
