Oil: “Don’t try to catch a falling knife”

Hi Guys,

January did not start bad with prices rising and peaking with Operation Martyr Soleimani. Despite this, all gains made in 45 days were lost quickly in 20 days thanks to coronavirus and worries over economic growth and oil demand.

Since my last idea on WTI posted on Oct.7, black gold moved from $52 to $65 in approx. 45 days.

The peak at $65 was reached when tensions between US and Iran escalated following the killing of the Iranian General Soleimani on Jan.3 and Iran hitting back with "Operation Martyr Soleimani".

Tensions between US and Iran de-escalated since and now we are back again at same level of 1-2-3 which provided support at $52 thanks also to spreading of coronavirus.

Will this level of previous support at 1-2-3 ($52) hold the pressure of this new virus? We don't know. All we know is that next OPEC meeting is scheduled for March 5 but they are trying already to stop the bleeding as this article from Reuters shows.

“Don’t try to catch a falling knife” is sage advice for investors trying to identify the trough in a market like oil following a sharp selloff.

The following idea "The Cone" was posted on May 1 and it was structured on a Monthly chart.

For additional infos about WTI please refer to the related ideas linked at the end of this post.

OPEC+, which includes Russia, has been reducing oil supply to support prices, agreeing in December to hold back 1.7 million barrels per day (bpd) of output until the end of March.

Each dive (red and blue arrows pointing down) has been the consequence of something.
1. Jamal Khashoggi was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul on 2 October 2018 by agents of the Saudi government;
2. 23 April 2019 Saudi Arabia executes 37 in connection with terrorism;
3. nCoV2019
