Crude oil: intermarket analysis Short

Crude Oil (WTI)FXCM

Description

I'm contemplating the possibility of crude weaving a complex correction before a new large decline.
If you look at the big picture in the weekly, this C wave decline seems to be incomplete, and the 4th wave triangle and 5th wave low on January 13th, seems to be a 3rd wave's 5th wave of a lower degree, which suggests that the fifth wave of C hasn't started yet.
The short term price and time target I found in this last swing has been met, and it's possible to see a reversal from this level.
On a fundamental basis, it's possible that the OPEC releases a report in the coming days, which might give direction to the market again.

Trade closed: target reached

I'm not sure of the triangle thesis but if correct, the C wave took a bit longer to complete.

The move up might continue some more.
With more data, my bias is neutral to bullish now. At least for one more leg up.

Trying to fight this is insanity...let's just embrace the crude bull, right?

A survey here would be an interesting proposition.

Right now I'm bearish on crude, for the next daily bar at least.

Thoughts?

A move under the rectangle today would trigger a selloff.

A move up from this level will seal the deal for this short, I'll update with confirmation.
Rgmov is already printing new lows, diverging from price.

I call the top of wave C:

A move under 55.82 will open the door to new lows, for now, a short term target has been reached ahead of time.
Expect a small retracement, which can be a new selling opportunity.
Rgmov confirms this move, showing new lows.
