Forecast of Crude oil price for next 2-4 years: professional technical analysis

Crude oil broke important levels recently. It is in a strong down trend which is not easy to reverse. Lets have a look at the prices for the past 25 years in the chart. There is good support at $50 (See S1 marked in chart) meaning that it can stop falling at that level. If it breaks $50 level and falls further, it will find very strong support first around 43$ (S2 in chart ) then at $40. The reversal of downtrend into an uptrend will probably take 2 to 4 years as evident from the past behaviour of crude oil prices in 1998-2000 and 2008-2010 trend changes. We can assume a stop in the downtrend when price goes above $70. But before that it has to cross the $60 level (marked R1 in chart) which will not be easy. When the trend will change, crude oil price will cross above 80$ level. Before it crosses $80, it may be assumed to remain in sideways movement meaning that there will not be much appreciation.

Prohibition of Usury in Various Religions Hinduism The earliest such record derives from the   Vedic   texts of Ancient India (2,000-1,400 BC) in which the "usurer" ( kusidin ) is mentioned several times and interpreted as any lender at interest.  More frequent and detailed references to interest payment are to be found in the later   Sutra   texts (700-100 BC), as well as the Buddhist   Jatakas   (600-400 BC).  It is during this latter period that the first sentiments of contempt for usury are expressed.  For example, Vasishtha, a well known Hindu law-maker of that time, made a special law which forbade the higher castes of   Brahmanas   (priests) and   Kshatriyas   (warriors) from being usurers or lenders at interest.  Also, in the   J...
