The Oslo FoB Index has had a sharp price reversal in the last week. The Index is currently on a horizontal support line and a black upward sloping trend line.

There is a blue upward sloping trend line drawn from the last two recent lows defining the bottom of the current upward price channel. The Composite Index has made a large move down in its displacement. Its current displacement is the fifth lowest displacement in the available history of the Index. The Composite Index only has one area of history near this displacement. The Index price didn’t make its final price low at this historical displacement, but Oslo FoB Index price did turn upward shortly afterward. Follow the red horizontal line back in time to see how the Composite Index price reacted at this displacement.

The RSI also had a sharp reversal from its earlier displacement. The RSI doesn’t have a lot of history at its current displacement, but it did respect this displacement in mid-December of 2022. It appears that the RSI could go down a little more where it has more history of making a bottom. There is divergence between the Composite Index and the RSI, meaning the move down is losing momentum. In the short term, the Oslo FoB Index is on top of the black upward sloping trendline that should give the Index some support. ]The breaking below the blue upward sloping trendline would signal that the current uptrend is in jeopardy.

What is Technical Analysis?

Technical Analysis is used to try and identify price trends in the future. Analysts believe that by using factual past information (trading activity and price changes) it is possible to identify future price movement trends and is quite prevalent in commodity and forex markets but can be applied to any product.

Technical Analysis has been developing for over a century, and there are now hundreds of patterns and signals that have been created. They are often used in conjunction with other forms of research and analysis to help formulate, or support pricing trend opinions.
