Has Greece been a good economic indicator over the past few years? Most would say 'NOT'!

Are crude oil and copper sending a more important global message than what we're hearing from Greece?

A year ago, we had a long-term pennant pattern in play from crude oil. Once it started heading south a year ago, it fell hard. Crude’s rally took it to a 23% retracement level and its 200MA line of late at (1) below. See what's happening now.

Monthly Crude Oil

Crude is breaking below this multi-week pennant pattern after failing to climb above Fibonacci resistance and its 200ma at (1).

Copper has been weak for the past few years, breaking below a support line that has been in place for over a decade.

Copper

After breaking below this support line, copper rallied some, hitting the underside of the old support line, which is now resistance. This resistance came into play at the $3 level and now it has backed off almost 15%.

If crude oil and copper continue to head south, these leading indicators could be sending a important message about the marco status of the worlds economies.
