Brent Oil Setup: Pre-Talks Correction ScenarioBrent Crude OIL ( FX_IDC:USDBRO ), over the past two months, has been rising due to escalating tensions in the Middle East and the potential for conflict between Iran and the U.S. If these tensions materialize, global oil supply could be impacted—especially given the significance of the Strait of Hormuz.
In the past 48 hours, however, news emerged that Iran-U.S. negotiations are set for Friday at 10 a.m. local time in Muscat, Oman, rather than Istanbul. If these talks yield positive results, oil prices may fall due to reduced tensions. Conversely, if talks fail, oil could spike again. Until then, we can rely on technicals for short-term opportunities.
Let’s quickly check Brent oil’s 4-hour chart. Brent has been in an ascending channel over the past 60 days and is currently near a resistance zone($71.30-$68.00).
From an Elliott Wave perspective, Brent seems to have completed a 5-wave impulse within the ascending channel. We can now anticipate a corrective wave.
I expect Brent oil to decline before the talks, potentially dropping to around $66.40. If agreement is reached, we could see a break of the lower channel line, with prices heading toward $63.64.
First Target: $66.40
Second Target: $63.64
Stop Loss(SL): $61.00(Worst)

Oil Price at a Crossroads: Will the 63.45 Support Hold ?
📊 USOIL (WTI) Technical Analysis - Feb 6, 2026
📍 Pivot Point: 63.45 The price is currently hovering around the pivot level, which serves as the decisive zone for the next market trend.
📉 Bearish Scenario (Primary Outlook)
As long as the price remains below the pivot point of 63.45, the bearish momentum is expected to dominate:
🎯 Target 1: A drop toward the first support at 62.40.
🎯 Target 2: A breakout below 62.40 will push the price further down to the 61.40 zone.
📈 Bullish Scenario (Alternative Outlook)
If the price manages to break above the 63.45 pivot and stabilizes, the trend will shift to bullish:
🚀 Target 1: A recovery toward the resistance level at 64.65.
🚀 Target 2: Breaking above 64.65 will pave the way for 65.20 and potentially 65.95.
🔍 Key Takeaways:
Below 63.45: The trend remains Bearish.
Above 63.45: The trend shifts to Bullish.
USOIL at the Edge: The 63.45 Battleground USOIL (WTI)
Date: February 5, 2026
💵 Current Status: Neutral / Testing Pivot
Pivot Point: 63.45
The price is currently hovering directly on the 63.45 pivot level. This is a "Make or Break" zone. We are waiting for a decisive candle close to confirm the next direction.
📉 Bearish Outlook (Current Pressure)
The overall sentiment has shifted toward the downside due to easing geopolitical tensions.
Condition: A sustained trade below 63.45.
Target 1: 62.90 (Immediate Support).
Target 2: 62.10 (Major Support / Extension).
📈 Bullish Outlook (Recovery)
For the bulls to regain control, the price must reclaim the pivot and stabilize.
Condition: A 1-hour candle close above 64.00.
Target 1: 64.65 (Previous Resistance).
Target 2: 65.20 - 65.95.
📰 Market Drivers (The Why?)
Diplomatic Breakthrough: Reports of direct U.S.-Iran talks in Oman have significantly reduced the "Risk Premium." Traders are less worried about supply disruptions in the Middle East.
EIA Inventory Data: While U.S. crude stocks fell by 3.5M barrels (typically bullish), the market is ignoring this data in favor of the bearish political news and the strong U.S. Dollar.
Fed Caution: A stronger Dollar, fueled by the Federal Reserve's cautious stance on rate cuts, continues to weigh on oil prices.
🔍 Conclusion
We are in a "Wait and See" phase. If the price fails to bounce from 63.45 within the next few hours, we expect the bearish momentum to accelerate toward 62.10.
Trade safe and watch for the breakout.

New Analysis – West Texas Oil (WTI)Those who follow my work know that we have posted multiple oil analyses in a row,
all of them successful, closed with high reward ratios ✅
But let me be very clear:
❌ I’m not part of OPEC
❌ I’m not a politician
❌ I don’t have access to political or economic decisions
No one knows what’s really going on in Powell’s mind,
what Trump plans to do with Iran,
or what the future holds for Venezuela, Cuba, or others.
📌 These are market drivers,
but we have zero access to policymakers’ decision rooms.
We are simply small traders,
trying to extract profits from opportunities — nothing more.
🔎 In this analysis, after making solid profits,
I’m willing to risk a small portion of those gains.
This setup carries higher risk, and that’s fully intentional.
📉 At the moment,
we are sitting at a good area to sell oil.
🔁 If this level breaks,
as always,
I’ll wait for a pullback and look for a long position.

Middle East Risks Keep Brent Oil Bullish — Higher TargetsAs I expected in the previous idea , Brent Crude OIL( BLACKBULL:BRENT ) has risen and reached its targets, with a Risk-To-Reward: 2:01 (full target).
Brent Crude OIL is currently trading near the support zone($63.30-$62.00) and the support lines.
From an Elliott Wave perspective, it appears that Brent Crude OIL has completed main wave 4, and we can now expect the next impulsive wave for the main wave 5.
Additionally, news from the Middle East does not indicate a reduction in tensions, and we can expect potential surprises in the region. Therefore, I prefer to maintain long positions in Brent Crude OIL rather than short positions, and I’m looking for triggers to enter long.
I expect that Brent Crude OIL will once again target the resistance zone($66.80-$65.00) and potentially rise to around $66.47. The next target could be the yearly pivot point($67.30).
First Target: $66.47
Second Target: $67.30
Stop Loss(SL): $62.60

Crude Oil (WTI): Short-Term Bullish Correction Before BearishHI!
Looking at the 4H chart for US Crude Oil (WTI), the price action suggests a short-term corrective rally before a continuation of the bearish trend. Below are the key levels and potential scenarios:
Key Levels:
Resistance Area (Green Zone): Currently, oil is approaching a key resistance level near the green zone. This area is expected to act as a strong resistance, potentially halting the recent bullish move and triggering a retracement. A rejection here could lead to a decline back toward lower levels, aligning with the overall bearish trend.
Magnet Area (Blue Zone): The blue zone represents the next critical support level, where price could be "magnetically" pulled towards after testing the resistance area. This zone marks a significant support region, aligning with the ascending trendline, which indicates further downside potential should the price break lower.
Target: $57.4
Geopolitical Considerations:
Ongoing geopolitical concerns, such as tensions in the Middle East, could introduce volatility and affect the price action in the short term. Any sudden shifts in supply expectations could influence the bullish or bearish potential around these key levels.

Oil is Boiling! 1/23/2026
After CRYPTOCAP:BTC ’s big run to $126K (now cooling off in corrective mode), Silver and Gold are pushing into new highs and closing in on their projected targets. Meanwhile, Oil popped +2.45% today and the chart is heating up — technically it looks primed for a major upside move.
With rising geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, the energy market is getting extra fuel.
Historically, geopolitical shocks have been one of the strongest catalysts for sharp Oil price swings — more than almost any other factor.
Momentum is shifting fast across the board… the next big rotation could be explosive!
Happy Trading!

Brent Oil Breaks Resistance as Middle East Tensions EscalateWith the start of the new week, Brent Oil( BLACKBULL:BRENT ) has continued its bullish trend.
Given the escalating tensions in the Middle East, a region that is crucial for global oil production, oil prices have risen accordingly.
Brent Oil has successfully broken through the resistance zone($63.30-$62.00) and resistance lines and is currently completing a pullback to these levels.
I expect that, given the potential for renewed tensions in the Middle East in the coming days and hours, the bullish trend in oil will continue, supported by both fundamental and technical analysis, and it will reach the targets set in the chart.
First Target: $64.91
Second Target: $65.77
Stop Loss(SL): $62.07

Where Is Oil Heading To ? - /CL Analysis 1) Technical Perspective: Support & Resistance
~$65 was a support zone earlier (2021–2024). In 2025–26, that $65 area now often acts as resistance. Prices have come down toward $55
2) Fundamental Drivers Behind the Downtrend
Oil has been in a multi-year decline from the highs seen in 2022 after the Russia–Ukraine war spike. A combination of oversupply and weaker demand has kept price pressure on:
• 2025 saw a large annual price drop due to persistent oversupply and slow demand.
• EIA and IEA reports project global oil supply continuing to exceed demand into 2026.
This structural oversupply (positive global inventories) pushes the short-term bias lower unless demand surprises on the upside.
3) Geopolitical Drivers — Including Venezuela
Recent news confirms that geopolitics remain a key wild card: The U.S. has taken actions around Venezuelan oil assets and plans to export Venezuelan crude, which could add supply and weigh on prices, especially if revitalisation occurs. Oil prices did tick up short-term on inventory draws and Venezuela focus, but long-term gains from Venezuelan production may be limited because infrastructure will take years to rebuild. Geopolitical tensions can spike oil temporarily, but unless supply physically tightens, the structure stays bearish.
4) OPEC / OPEC+ Decisions
OPEC’s recent behaviour has been a big driver:
In 2025, OPEC+ unwound production cuts, which contributed to oversupply and lower prices.
For 2026: The OPEC+ view has shifted toward equilibrium, but global supply growth still challenges prices. If OPEC+ cuts output further or extends cuts, prices could find stronger support around current levels ($55–$65). If OPEC+ maintains or increases production while demand stays soft, that supports a drop toward $45–$50. So OPEC policy is one of the most important catalysts, it fundamentally shifts supply.
5) Demand Risks & Macro Conditions
Global demand remains under pressure: Chinese economic weakness and slower global growth reduce oil demand. And EIA forecasts oversupply growth in 2026.
Lower demand growth + abundant supply = structural downside risk.
6) Link to US Dollar, Inflation & Rates
Higher real rates / stronger USD → oil tends to weaken:
Oil is USD-denominated. A stronger dollar makes oil more expensive for holders of other currencies. Tight monetary policy (higher rates) can slow economic growth and demand for oil.
Lower real rates / weaker USD → oil tends to strengthen: Cheaper USD can support crude prices if demand fundamentals improve.
Right now, with US economic strength and mixed inflation data elsewhere, it’s not certain the Fed will aggressively cut. If inflation re-accelerates and the Fed resists rate cuts or even raises, that could strengthen the USD and pressure oil lower.
However, if the Fed eases later, weaker real rates could help commodities broadly, but oil’s supply/demand story still matters more.

WTI M15 Bullish Continuation After H1 FVG Hold📝 Description
WTI crude remains in a strong short-term bullish structure on M15 after an impulsive expansion. Price has pulled back in a controlled manner and is holding above the H1 FVG / BPR zone, suggesting this move is a healthy retracement, not distribution. The higher lows indicate continuation potential rather than exhaustion.
________________________________________
📈 Signal / Analysis
Primary Bias: Bullish
Preferred Setup:
• Entry (Buy): 58.03
• Stop Loss: Below 57.8
• TP1: 58.36
• TP2: 58.60
• TP3: 58.75
Acceptance below the H1 FVG invalidates the bullish continuation idea.
________________________________________
🎯 ICT & SMC Notes
• Clean impulsive leg followed by corrective pullback
• Price respecting H1 FVG + BPR as demand
• No bearish CHOCH on LTF
________________________________________
🧩 Summary
WTI is consolidating above a key HTF demand zone after a strong markup. As long as price holds above the H1 FVG, the market favors continuation toward upside liquidity rather than deeper retracement.
________________________________________
🌍 Fundamental Notes / Sentiment
Oil sentiment remains supported by steady demand expectations and ongoing geopolitical sensitivity. With no immediate bearish catalyst and technical structure aligned, price action favors trend continuation, especially according to geopolitical situation in in Iran and Venezuela.

Crude Oil – Sell around 58.50, with a target of 56.00-55.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Recent crude oil buying has been largely ineffective. Despite support from fundamentals and data, there has been little upward movement, only small fluctuations. Sell crude oil at 58.50 today. The chart pattern indicates short-term consolidation, with resistance around 60.00. A break above 62 might open new buying opportunities; otherwise, the outlook remains bearish.
Fundamental Analysis:
The previous ADP employment data has reassured the market, and expectations for the non-farm payrolls report have largely been priced in.
Trading Recommendation:
Crude Oil – Sell around 58.50, with a target of 56.00-55.00.
Sell crude oil around 58.50, with a target of 57.00-55.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Recent crude oil data and fundamentals support buying opportunities, but crude oil is still slowly declining. The outlook remains bearish today; sell on rallies. Watch the minor resistance level at 58.50. A break below 55.00 would open up further downside potential. If this level is broken, consider selling.
Fundamental Analysis:
Yesterday's ADP employment data was -2.9, compared to an expected 4.7 and a result of 4.1. While this appears bullish in the short term, it actually signals a sell opportunity. Good employment data tends to cause gold to fall. Crude oil's EIA inventory data also fell to -338, compared to an expected 44.
Trading Recommendation:
Sell crude oil around 58.50, with a target of 57.00-55.00.
Crude Oil – Sell around 58.60, target 56.00-55.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
The fundamentals have had a significant impact on crude oil over the past two days, but crude oil seems to have become desensitized to these fundamentals, showing little reaction. The market is maintaining a relatively calm, small-scale consolidation. Our strategy for today remains bearish; sell on rallies. The daily moving averages are starting to diverge. For buying opportunities, pay attention to the 55.00 level. If it breaks, we expect a significant sell-off.
Fundamental Analysis:
Today, we will focus on the ADP employment data and the EIA crude oil inventory data.
Trading Recommendation:
Crude Oil – Sell around 58.60, target 56.00-55.00

WTI: Politics Just Entered the ChartLadies and gentlemen, if you're trading oil (WTI) right now, you're probably in one of the most sensitive periods of your trading life. Why? Trump just arrested Venezuela's leader a few days ago :) Odds of a strike on Iran are sky-high, Israel could jump in too + a ton of other factors that could spike massive volatility in the oil market over the next few weeks and make trading it brutal.
Let's break it down together.
Daily timeframe
We've got a super strong downward channel for ages, with most action hugging the upper side and midline—barely touching the channel floor in forever. Today's candle is straight-up engulfing the last three weak bearish ones to the upside, and with all the tension building, expect a sharp uptrend move soon.
Drop to 4H for real long/short triggers.
Short side: Killer trigger on break of support 56.463—it's held with strong reactions before. If it snaps, look for midline retest first, then channel floor test.
Long side: Riskier trigger at 58.731 break—could kick off the upside correction of this bearish channel. But since it'd be the first uptrend leg, keep risk low.
By the way, I’m Skeptic , founder of Skeptic Lab.
I focus on long-term performance through psychology, data-driven thinking, and tested processes.
Thanks for riding this idea—if it delivered value, hit that boost to keep the momentum rolling and follow to build the squad. Toss any symbol you want dissected in the comments, I'll handle it. 🩵
Now get outta here.
XOM: Winners of the Venezuelan Oil-Poker!Hello There,
in the past days we have witnessed spectacular events that will be historically determining for the oil market and oil company stocks. One of the largest oil reserves country Venezuela changed from a socialist government to a state under U.S. influence. Since the government changed the plan is that oil companies can take up their business again, which was not possible before. As Venezuela has one of the largest oil reserves, this could mean massive changes for those companies.
One of those companies is ExxonMobil (XOM). The company already had big plans to expand their oil production before 2007. Since 1999, the Venezuelan government has begun expropriating private businesses and, in the majority, oil companies. This also led to the seizure of ExxonMobil in 2007, where thousands of millions of barrels of oil were expropriated into government control. The company has had no ability to get their reserves and continue their businesses in Venezuela since then.
As a government change happens in Venezuela, this will create major bullish foundations for XOM. The price already gained over 300% in a continuous uptrend since the corona pandemic in 2020. A potential continuation of their business will likely expand their revenues by up to 40% more. Such factors will have tremendous effects on the price action. As seen in my chart, XOM will likely complete this gigantic bull flag in the next time.
Already before this major event, XOM could complete this gigantic broadening wedge formation. The targets of this formation were already confirmed by the breakout. Now the bull flag formation forming above the upper boundary offers the next double confirmational formation. From this point of view this creates a fundamentally and technically bullish perspective for XOM. The targets marked in my chart are already active. When there are massive news in the oil industry there is a high likelihood for major price moves.
With this being said, it is great to consider the important trades upcoming.
We will watch out for the main market evolutions.
Thank you very much for watching!
