I don't say we have to rush to short Oil, but we have quite a lot of warning signals.
Daily: - Ichimoku is bullish, but price i bit far above Kijun, and has been struggling to clear 51,50-52 resistance for 11 trading days now. - Heikin-Ashi gives mixed signals, the most I can read here is: indecision - haDelta, DMO and MACD also confirms indecisive behaviour.
Will we see a pull back lower? Maybe yes, maybe not. If something triggers profit taking, retracement target can be 47,50-48,00. What do we have to monitor for a full exit from longs and to open a swing short? -> a 4H signal.
4H: - Flat and thin Kumo, flat Kijun, weak bearish Tenkan/Kijun. Ichimoku is neutral, with minor bearish bias ahead. - Lower support is: 50-50,40 , upper resistance is 51. - Heikin-Ashi pattern shows consolidation. - Direction can not be read from haDelta, DMO and EWO either.
4H is perfectly neutral. Bears should take only a clear and confirmed sell signal below 50 - 50,40, and this is the level Bulls should use as ultimate trailing stop for long positions.

Agreed, I was waiting for a signal to short, need to see lower prices and conviction first though.

there we have a signal now! :-) but it is just a weak signal, the trade is counter trend. Max position size should not exceed half trade unit. Telling it rather to novice readers, not to you Ivan. I know you have a money management strategy.

Cheers.
