West Texas Intermediate crude oil continues to trade within the upward-sloping channel. However, its bullish trend remains weak, as reflected in the relatively low (but growing) value of ADX (on the daily time frame). In the past two trading sessions, the daily RSI continued to flatten, Stochastic turned lower, and MACD performed a bearish crossover while staying...
In the recent past, we abstained from setting price targets for the short and medium term. Meanwhile, we became focused on the long-term price target of 70$, which stays in place as we continue to be bearish on USOIL. Our view is based on the deepening recession and falling oil demand. Yesterday, the IEA Executive Director, Faith Birol, said in his interview...
We continue to be bearish on USOIL. Accordingly, we still maintain our price target of 90 USD per barrel of WTI oil. Indeed, we would like to change this price target from medium-term to short-term. Additionally, we would like to set a new long-term price target for USOIL at 80 USD. Illustration 1.01 The sloping line acts as the resistance; the more touches...
Recently, WTI oil reached a new high of 93.14 USD per barrel. Simultaneously, all our price targets were reached. Because of that we decided to update our thoughts on USOIL today. We continue to maintain a bullish stance in the medium-term and long-term. However, in the short-term we foresee headwinds for oil due to many technical indicators pointing to an...
Today WTI oil reached 87.90 USD per barrel which coincides with a new high in price that has not been seen since 2014 and which confirms the continuation of the uptrend. We continue to maintain a bullish outlook on WTI oil in the medium-term and long-term. However, in the short term we are becoming very cautious as some technical indicators reached an overbought...
WTI oil continues to march higher and we continue to maintain a bullish outlook on oil. Our view is supported by a combination of bullish technical and fundamental factors. Currently, we will observe whether USOIL will manage to break above the major resistance at 85.39 USD which will further bolster the bullish case for WTI oil. We would like to set a new...
Today WTI oil reached our short-term price target of 77 USD per barrel. Furthermore, USOIL broke above the short-term support for a short period of time. Fundamentals remain bullish as OPEC agreed to proceed with a planned production boost of 400 000 bpd in February 2022. This signals OPEC's confidence in the oil market. Additionally, our bullish view is supported...
WTI oil rose over 20% since its low at 61.46 USD on 2nd December 2021. We previously noted that weakness in the general stock market posed a threat for further rise of the price of USOIL in the short-term. However, since then the general stock market seems to stabilize. Because of that we regained our bullish view; additionally, we would like to set a short-term...
Today WTI oil broke above 70 USD and it currently trades around 71.50 USD per barrel. In our previous ideas we stated that ongoing politics between OPEC and the U.S. presented headwinds for the price of oil. We also noted that USOIL reached oversold conditions and its price was very attractive for long position (re)entry (as we remained bullish in long-term). Then...
USOIL seems to stabilize in range between 75 USD and 79 USD. Currently, it trades around 78 USD; and we are closely watching technical indicators as they continue to point to the bearish condition. Current state of oil coincides with the recent set of bearish news regarding realese of the strategic oil reserves by the U.S. and its allies. We do expect the OPEC to...
USOIL ceased its decline at 80.62 USD per barrel just three days ago. Since then USOIL reversed to the upside and now it trades around 84.25 USD per barrel. In our previous two ideas we noted that despite correction in price we would remain bullish on oil in medium-term and long-term. In addition to that, we noted correction in price could serve as good (re)entry...
We abandoned short-term price target of 85 USD in our previous idea (as correction resumed). In addition to that, we noted that it was very likely that price would drop towards 78 USD. Currently, USOIL trades slightly below that level. We will observe WTI oil in the following days and we will look for more weakness or possible end of correction. Though, at the...
On 25th October 2021 USOIL reached our price target of 85 USD per barrel. After that we announced that we would not be surprised to see shortlived correction since USOIL reached overbought condition in the short-term. Now it is clear that price retraced from high of 85.39 USD to as low as 80.62 USD today. It is likely that correction will continue little longer...
USOIL reached our short-term price target of 80 USD. Because of that we would like to update our idea. We would like to change medium-term price target of 82 USD to short-term price target. In addition to that we would like to set new medium-term price target to 85 USD. Our long-term price target of 90 USD remains unchanged. We continue to be bullish on WTI oil...
In our last idea we pointed out that RSI reached overbought condition and that such occurence is often followed by correction. We also noted that correction would drag price towards 75 USD per barrel. In addition to that we said that we would remain bullish even if correction took place. We continue to maintain that bullish stance. We actually think that current...
Today USOIL reached our short-term price target of 77.50 USD. Because of that we would like to update our thoughts on WTI oil. We continue to be bullish and we expect price to continue its rise. We would like to change medium-term price target of 80 USD to short-term price target. We would also like to set new medium-term price target to 82 USD. Our long-term...
On 20th July 2021 USOIL halted its decline at 65.11 USD per barrel. Price traveled back to its short term simple moving average. Simultaneously, RSI reversed above 30 points, not piercing oversold line. This phenomenon tends to accompany strong trends of higher degree. In regards to oil it suggests that bullish trend of higher degree remains intact. MACD is...
EURGBP H4 Off the back of the resumed GBP strength, I feel we could see a break and close below our current support zone of 0.88300. Waiting for this closure is important, a clear break and close below followed by a subsequent retest and resisted price at 0.88400 could set us up for potential shorts.
