USO, 10 Jan. Is the Oil price about to crash?Oil has completed a 5-wave move on 25 Oct. Oscillators and geometry suggest a decline.
Geometry:
Price got rejected at the lower boundary of the channel. The red trend line is a second resistance, connecting the previous low and the gap.
Elliott:
We can count an ABC (in green), which makes up corrective wave (b), in blue. If correct, we can expect a wave C to the downside.
Oscillators:
The RSI shows a strong bearish divergence. The MFI points downwards. Stochastic is overbought and due to retrace.
Correlation:
USO is -.74 inversely correlated with TLT, at support, and .71 with XLE, at resistance.
How to trade it:
The idea is to build short exposure between 57 and 60. The red and blue trend lines give us two excellent risk-reward ratios. If price continues towards 60 it is likely to form an expanding flat correction. The idea is invalidated if USO establishes support above 56.
CL - 15 Minute MicroCL left a large gap below @ 6585.
Were it to fill, it would be after 11 AM EST should the pattern hold.
____________________________________________________________
Resistance traded Frist @ the 6864 Level - .618 of Micro.
The IVX is quite itchy.
Sporty Day ahead for Oil, widening Range ith solid Price actions.
CL - Crude Oil persists in Grinding Up SellersOur Price Objectives complete the Gap FIll.
This has been a one-way Trade - Higher.
Sellers have been rejected on every Pullback only
to see Price move slowly, methodically... higher.
API / EIA / RIGS / OPEC has backstopped Crude Oil.
____________________________________________
FAding the Trend has been a ticket to larger losses
as Sellers on the Tape continues to double down
against the Trend on this move higher.
Adding Fuel to the fire that is energy at present.
It will be interesting to see IF this can run to 104.
We are very much in doubt of this, but anything is frankly
possible should Price grind to new highs above the 88.21 Level.
CL - Into the Gap Fill81.12 to 83.32 are not open for the Fill and Overthrow.
There is plenty of Oil regardless of API / EIA Non0-sense.
Hookahs are having a party at Virtual Davos this Year.
Bless them, them as the Sultan is worth $2.1 Trillion, makes
Gates, Buffet, Besos, and Elon look like Pikers.
_____________________________________________________
NQ will be in trade on NPK for Spring Argo-Biz and reformulations.
CL usually peaks this time of YEar with Nasty January / February effect
now in trade due to December effect push forward.
All in all it's broken the Channel we indicated would be important for the
toss over, mission accomplished.
It's been giving SELLERs Hell on a pitchfork, why then keep coming back
is beyond me, but we will gladly pick their pockets,
CL - The Gapit appears OPEC is providing the nudge for Crude Oil.
Gasoline demand certainly is NOT.
_________________________________________________
Macro factors will catch up with it soon enough, overall
we remain in wait and see mode for CL.
No positions simply Sell on PO's hit - today Sold 78.44 PO and
closed at 77.93
It is hanging on to the 50 SMA @ 75.96 for now, the 200SMA is
below @ 70.92.
MACD is diverging while A/D is sharply Positive.
Appears to be another Squeeze, an unrelenting one.
CL - The Channel TradeCL respects its channel, pure and simple.
With 77 acting as the pivot, overthrows are
normal as are overshooting past PO's on the
lower range.
Regardless, the 15 Micro Channel trades like
clockwork.
It's easy Bank.
APT Tomorrow, EIA Wednesday head of
FOMC - large Break of the range ahead after
the FED with the DX leading.
The Hookahs don't know whether to curse or
bless Black Gold.
_______________________________________
Hopefully, a Solid and substantial break mid-week.
CL - EIA @ 10:3077 remains the Level to Break.
Sellers are squatting at 81.
73 is the recent High/Low and remains Daily Support.

Yields may place pressure on Crude, If nad only IF they
hold.
There is a flight to Safety, panic bid under Crude Oil.

OIL Looking For More Upside To Form A ConnectorThe Elliott wave view in OIL suggests that it’s correcting the cycle from October 25, 2021 peak. Looking for more upside towards $76.77- $83.57 area to form a wave ((B)) connector. Then from there, the instrument is expected to fail lower in a bigger ((C)) leg lower to complete the correction. While shorter cycle suggests that a decline in wave (B) unfolded as a flat structure where the first leg ended in wave A at $69.39 low.
Up from there, OIL did another 3 swings bounce & ended wave B at $72.99 high. Down from there, it declined in 5 waves lower where lesser degree wave ((i)) ended at $69.89. Wave ((ii)) ended at $71.35 high, wave ((iii)) ended at $66.84, wave ((iv)) ended at $68.73 and wave ((v)) ended at $66.02 thus completed wave C of (B). Then from there, we believe that (C) leg higher has started in an impulse sequence where wave 1 ended at $69.78 high, wave 2 ended at $68.56 low. Near-term, as far as it remains above $66.02 low then expect OIL to extend higher for a few more push higher targetting $76.77- $83.57 area to complete (C) leg higher.

CL +2,000 Ticks, One hour looking for longThe CL one hour time frame is in a short term
down trend line. The market is still making lower
lows and lower highs. It will be a good idea to wait
for the market to break and close above the short

ideas towards the monthly up Fibonacci price point
95.75 about +2,764 ticks away.
Entry: Counter trend line break bullish above
the short term down trend line.
STOP: In the sell zone
LIMIT: 95.75
Once or if the market is able to break and close
above the short term down trend line. It will
be a good idea to turn to the five minute time

destination trader long opportunities towards
the monthly up Fibonacci price point 95.75
CL - SMA ChecklistCL is trading both FIbs ad SMAs.
They have a higher price in Trade, but
have gaps both Above and Below.
70.16 / 70.11 would be the Pullback,
but the BOts won't allow this until after
Lunch and the EU Session ends.
We took a small sell only to be stopped
take a $900 loss.
NQ a different story as we took a small
long there and enjoyed the run.
16400 is the New NQ Price Objective, we'll
see how CL responds as it is tracking with
NQ against the OVX.
