USOIL - Bearish analysis part 2

TVC:USOIL   CFDs on WTI Crude Oil
Not much of an additional analysis here, rather more of an update. Take a look at my previous post to get an idea of the EMA rule I use so that this makes a bit more sense.

As I mentioned in the last post, we fell through the 21EMA (red one) and failed to get back above it, which generally means we're headed to the 55 EMA (yellow one). Well, that pretty much just happened, so now we have to wait and see if it holds. If the price falls through and close beneath the 55, chances are it'll run up and retest it, possibly wicking the 34 or 21 EMAs (orange & red) before getting b**** slapped into downward oblivion. Where is oblivion, I hear you ask? That be the Sasha Grey EMA. Or the 200 EMA if you have more of a thing for numbers. No judgement here.

That being said, we do have support levels that could be cushy enough for a bounce. That is where I'd expect one to happen if it does fall. However, if it doesn't fall, our next target would be the 21 EMA for a candle body close with the 55 EMA possibly receiving a good wicking.

Another fun thing to keep in mind before I end this - the closer the EMAs are together, the harder it is for price action to rise through them. Think of them like brick walls. If the walls are all back to back, they form one thick wall that would need a huge amount of force to break through. If they're spaced apart however, you'd need a much smaller amount of force to break through one by one, making it easier to get through them. When you see them really spaced apart, have a look at your other indicators such as RSI for bullish/bearish divergences and volume. Chances are that when you get the divergence, the spacing of the EMAs could give you a great idea of how big a move there is to come. If the volume significantly tapers off, it's highly likely the move will be explosive.

Hope this was useful - stay safe!
