The core bias remains for a move up to $77, but as price action during the current rally on the 1-hour chart is choppy and has stalled near resistance, we're looking for a dip lower to around $73. Also note that the weekly and monthly pivot points are hovering above the 10/20-day EMAs, which adds conviction that an interim top may be about to form.
WTI Oil (USOIL) gave us one of the best bullish break-out signals two weeks ago (see chart below): Since almost touching the 79.75 Resistance, the price pulled back significantly and hit (even marginally breached but never closed) the bottom of the 2-month Channel Up. With the 4H RSI making a Bullish Cross, which was the absolute Buy Signal on the previous...
The hopes for higher oil prices were shattered last week with the announcement of a potential Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal, which led to a quick selloff in the oil market. Following the invalidation of a bullish breakout above $76.14, the price of oil kept sliding lower, finally hitting a low of $71.43 yesterday. Currently, the WTI crude oil trades close to $72.80...
Price action has been very choppy on the daily crude oil chart, but if we place a line chart over the top is shows prices are trying to break out of a small triangle / pennant. Whilst these are usually expected to be continuation pattern, they can also make decent reversal pattern. And this case, we've see prices hold above $70 on a closing basis, and the lower...
The West Texas Intermediate crude oil has trended mostly sideways for over a month, moving between $68 and $75 per barrel. Yet, while the situation in the Middle East and the Red Sea continues to deteriorate, the oil market keeps growing increasingly ignorant of the dangers of a broader war in the region that could further disrupt the transit of goods and oil...
Hello friends, I hope you are well. We have the gold chart in the one-hour time frame. Yesterday we said that we will wait if the support zone is broken down, the next target is the zone (2005-2008). Now in this area, with the formation of candlestick patterns, it has moved upwards. The areas that are important for us are the bottom of the previous broken area...
Currently, in the one-hour period, the $2060 area can be a good place for sell positions, of course, be careful not to enter the trade without confirmation. In the first reaction to this area, it went up from the price of 2017$ to 2040$, it gave us a profit of about 230 pips. In the second reaction, collected all the liquidity at the bottom of the range and moved...
Hi guys, I hope you had a profitable trading week. We have an overview of Solana in 4 hours time. In continuation of the previous analysis we had of Solana, which went exactly as we expected, now we want to have an update on it, to know what process it has taken. The last trend of Solana has come in the form of a descending channel, which has reacted well to the...
WTI Oil (USOIL) has hit today the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) for the first time since October 24 2023. Today's analysis is on the 1W time-frame but we have explained the reasoning behind a long-term buy once the 1D MA50 would break, a month ago (December 19, see idea below): That Buy Zone offers a low risk action ground for longs and as you can see on today's...
Geopolitics in the Red Sea Tensions in the Red Sea continue to rise, with Iran issuing yet another warning to the U.S. and its allies before expanding the war in the rich-oil-producing region. The warning follows the deployment of an Iranian warship in the Red Sea after the withdrawal of the USS Gerald R. Ford supercarrier from the waters earlier this month. In...
In mid-December 2023, we witnessed major shipping companies announce a halt to transit through the Red Sea. Then, with the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian, we saw the same companies start reversing their decisions, only to again pause shipping quickly after the resumption (thanks to more attacks from Houthi rebels targeting Maersk ships). As such, the past...
Dear friends and colleagues, we are at your service with the world oil chart in the 4-hour time frame. As you can see, oil started to grow after a heavy drop and after breaking its previous ceiling of $72, it was able to reach the resistance range of $76. The dollar reached and is currently traded below this range. Considering the scope of the Middle East war and...
Following the initiation of Operation Prosperity Guardian in the Red Sea, major shipping companies like Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd began to reverse their recent decisions to halt transit through this waterway. That is positive news for the world as the region is estimated to account for about 12% of global trade, with 340 million metric tons of cargo and 8.2 million...
WTICOUSD - 24h expiry Previous resistance level of 75.34 broken. Intraday, and we are between bespoke support and resistance 73.51-77.10. The sequence for trading is higher highs and lows. There is scope for mild selling at the open but losses should be limited. The medium term bias remains bullish. We look to Buy at 75.00 (stop at 74.20) Our profit...
Hello Traders! This is my perspective on WTI H4. OIL is currently at a key level, and I'm waiting for a confirmation. At the moment, OIL is in a bearish channel pattern and has now reached the resistance level. I anticipate a move until the OB from the price of 78.200. Additionally, there is a significant possibility of a strong bearish move down to the price of...
WTI will complete a Death Cross pattern on the 1d time frame. This will be its second since September 02 2022. That pattern initiated a strong decline which was a bearish leg inside a Channel Down pattern. Oil is again trading inside a Channel Down since Sep 28 2023 and the Death Cross can be the sell call for the final leg to the 63.70 Support. We expect at...
WTI Oil (USOIL) hit our 73.50 short-term Target that we called on December 07 (see chart below) but remains within the 2 -month Channel Down: On the wider 1D time-frame, we can clearly see that the price is still inside the 9-month Buy Zone. The tendency is that when the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) breaks after dipping within the zone, the price approaches the...
WTI Crude Oil / USOIL is inside a Channel Down but the bearish strength is fading as a Falling Support has been formed while the 1day RSI Double Bottomed. At the same time the 1day MACD is about to form the 2nd Bullish Cross in less than a month. The very same (Channel Down) pattern was trading back in June - August 2022, with the same bullish divergence and...
