Potential 470 ticks: I am looking for a potential Long and Short play in Oil short term. I was recently bearish minded at 74.12 but following the price action this past week I believe we may have another run up coming potentially due to geopolitics involving the Hormuz straight. Trade on the chart is self explanatory based on 2014 Supply/Demand levels.
Note: If geopolitics do not heat up short term over the Hormuz Straight, then I believe prices will still test 75.3-75.6 this week; that would be a good level to take partial profits.
Long Entry: 73.82-74.12 (Entry is active) Target: 76.49 Short Entry: 76.49 Target: 74.12
@kate25 We can rename the chair pattern the "Hormuz Straight Pattern" if this plays out. :)
If this does happen then I believe prices may enter a long term approximately 5 dollar sideways extended range, hitting strong supply levels but waiting 2 or 3 months for a larger pullback as heavy puts start to decay similar to the Nov 2016-March 2017 Range.
Of course the potential path laid out on that chart is pie in the sky at this point.

On further analysis I've decided to cancel this trade before the weekend opens. I will republish - but only include the long view as with current geopolitics, I believe there is the possibility for prices to press above 76.5 and not pullback. So, in short, I DO believe we will see prices press up to 76.5 so a long at current price targeting 76.5 is a good trade in my opinion. However, I am now seeing potential for prices to continue pressing up with potential for 80-82 prior to a sizable pullback.
A new chart will be published tomorrow prior to market open.

This is my updated publish - much more bullish grind up
This is a monthly view where we might say price is at resist - as long as resist holds

@smitheric1970, weekly we could say price is inbetween levels

@smitheric1970, On the daily if we think monthly is at resist we could say this may be emergent supply

@smitheric1970, Momentum is up so if we think this is emergent supply we need to be cautious as price may carve through that monthly resist

@kate25, Thanks Kate! We look at the market in the same manner! I use very similar markers, looking at what created previous buying or selling climaxes creating those Supply/Demand exhanges or Inflections. I mark an inflection if prices have 'closed' higher on at least 2 bars above a previous 'high'; after a bar in a series does not 'close' higher, I see the sellers have taken over or created temporary equilibrium; and vice versa when prices fall. I use the same technique as you looking for older levels that created the original inflections; starting with Monthly, then weekly then daily, it is interesting to see how prices react. Around current price action, these are the monthly levels that I see in play: s3.amazonaws.com/tradingview/snapshots/w/WELDWxOX.png
@smitheric1970, That is interesting - I like how you determined the SD zones

Someone mentioned my (mis)spelling of 'Strait' - Straight was supposed to be a play on words based on words based on the possible 'straight' run up pattern in the second chart.
