Where Does Crude Invite Buyers?Crude Oil (May) Yesterday’s close: Settled at 86.21, up 0.98 Crude Oil futures slipped early yesterday due to the broader risk-off sentiment and saw further selling on larger builds within the weekly EIA inventory data. However, price action held major three-star support (newly adjusted to 84.55-84.69 and 84.90-85.10) before geopolitical premium brought a fresh bid as news flow called an Iranian strike on Israel imminent. Price action is again slipping into the onset of U.S. hours and with support well-defined, we will look to a pivot and point of balance at 86.02. Bias: Bullish/Neutral Resistance: 85.29**, 86.58-86.71**, 86.91-87.10***, 87.07-87.22**, 88.37-88.64*** Pivot: 86.02 Support: 84.90-85.10***, 84.55-84.69***, 84.04-84.09**, 83.71***, 83.12-83.25*** Check out CME Group real-time data plans available on TradingView here: www.tradingview.com Disclaimers: CME Real-time Market Data help identify trading set-ups and express my market views.

Wti 90 Strike is On Sale!There is something insightable happening with WTI oil. 90 strike and trade volume are attracting attention. Check out Monday's trading data below. But to properly interpret it, we need to look at the data in the context of how the price of the asset has moved. Comparing when the highest option trading activity was at the 90 strike and how the asset moved, the question becomes why the 90 option strike is being handoffed as prices move higher. It's critical to note that open interest at the 90 strike did not increase, but the option flow from previous owners to new owners did (the amount of open interest did not increase, it actually decreased slightly). Someone started buying at the 90 strike about 3 weeks ago and is now taking profits by selling their portfolio into the market, taking advantage of the rising price of call options. Our statistics show that such a scenario indicates a strong resistance level around the 90 strike and a likely bounce.

WTI remains on the 'buy the dip' statusMarket positioning data from the COT report shows that asset managers and large speculators are piling into longs, yet shorts remain subdued. The price on the 4-hour chart also shows an established uptrend within a bullish channel. Prices have not yet completed a 3-wave retracement against the trend, hence the bias for a slightly deeper pullback before its trend resume. Also note that RSI (14) has not yet dipped into the oversold zone (which is now 40 given the strong uptrend). Any pullbacks towards the internal trendline or $84 will pique our bullish interest for new longs, in anticipation of its next leg higher on route towards $90.

Crude Oil, Bulls in Driver’s Seat?Crude Oil (May) Yesterday’s close: Settled at 86.43, down 0.48 On Friday, geopolitical premium helped the nearby month in Crude Oil futures traded to the highest level since October 23rd, and the May contract hit the highest since June 2022. Price action gapped lower from the 86.91 settlement on the open Sunday night, but strength into the onset of U.S. hours yesterday hit a high of 87.10. The resilience lends optimism, with the session low (Sunday night) holding that of Thursday’s before headlines lifted to new local highs. This newly established floor is now major three-star support at 84.64-84.93 and we see the bulls in the driver’s seat while above here. The EIA will release its Short-Term Energy Outlook at 11:00 am CT, and API’s private weekly inventory survey is due at 3:30 pm CT. Bias: Bullish/Neutral Resistance: 86.91-87.10***, 87.07-87.22**, 88.37-88.64*** Pivot: 86.10 Support: 85.39-85.50**, 84.64-84.93***, 84.04-84.09**, 83.71***, 83.12-83.25*** CME Real-time Market Data help identify trading set-ups and express my market views.

Can the HOUSE CAPITALIZE on the Market Correction SHORT...?NYMEX:CL1! There may be people who have more talent than you. But there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you. -Derek Jeter Last week we tried to catch this move however our stops were hit due to sellers not being ready just yet to commit and Buyers came in to Mitigate the HTF Daily Supply Zone causing us to be stopped out... All good we rii back at it!! This is what I want to see in order to scale SHORT.... 1) Price is currently trading inside a 15m Demand ZONE and rii above a Minor Support Level ($86.65)...***I need to see this 15m Demand and the Support level fail and sellers commit to pushing for lowering pricing Per Barrel. 2) I would Like to see sellers at-least wick the 1HR CHoCh level ($86.42) and then give me a re-test of the failed support level ($86.65)... At this point I'm going to apply my risk in Support of Sellers dropping the Market and targeting ($85.50) Per. Barrell in which would be the EQ level of the 4Hr Pivot Demand Zone.... This trade SHORT can give us about +115 Points in favor. We can easily catch a solid +2.5-3R % Gain depending on your given management system! 3) I need to see the 15m Demand Fail along with the Minor Support Level with confirmed candle closures underneath pricing on the 30m TF below... I also want to see the 1Hr CHoCh level wicked!! ***ALSO price needs to be trading underneath the RED V-WAP as a last min. cherry on top confirmation...Its always a Higher Probable Trade when we are in favor the of the Vwap on the 1Hr TF... REMEMBER NOTHING IN THE MARKET IS SET IN STONE... WE play the long-term of Probability...Lets go to work!! "Its time to REACH EXCELLENCE" -Management500K

Can the HOUSE CAPITALIZE on this Market Correction Short...?NYMEX:CL1! A wise man once if you're easily offended then you're easily manipulated... Good Afternoon Family I hope this week has been good to yu all... This will be a short description/narrative on why I believe we may be able to capitalize on this counter trend SHORT on OIL after we Mitigate this Daily Supply Zone a little deeper IMO>>> Vibe w/ me! 1) I want to see buyers continue to push for higher pricing and sweep the Last Current High which is ($87.22) and then fall off a cliff... 2) We have a major indecision candle on the 1Hr TF and the low pricing of that candle is ($86.45) which will cause a 1Hr CHoCh if broken... ***This is the major confirmation I will need to see with a confirmed candle closure under the 1Hr indecision candle on the 30m TF & below... Once we receive this confirmation i'm all in with the risk, covering the high for my stop.... 3) On the LTF we have a 15m Demand Zone that I need to see broken by strong sellers and cause the 1Hr CHoCh level to be broken ($86.45).... If we can get this sequence of events to happen then I'll enter SHORT for the HOUSE TO CAPITALIZE ON....***Also price needs to be trading underneath the RED V-Wap as a last min. cherry on the top Confirmation. Its always a higher probable trade when we are in favor of the Vwap...IMO>>>>> Overall Price has mitigated a HTF Daily Supply Zone & we're looking to CAPITALIZE on the Market Correction SHORT...Which is essentially a Counter Trend SHORT>>> So we need to be highly skilled in our entry price and even more skilled with our Target/Exit to CAPTALIZE on PROFITABILITY!!! Remember nothing in the market is set in stone. WE play the long-term game of probability!! Now lets sit back N stalk like the Saltwater CROC!! Its time to REACH EXCELLENCE!!! #BHM500K #NewERA #CHAMPIONS

Strategic Timing for Investing in Crude OilCrude Oil (CL) Bullish Trend Continues: Surge Driven by Rising Demand and OPEC's Supply Reductions Since December 2023, CL has been on an upward trajectory bolstered by heightened demand and OPEC's proactive supply cuts. Notably, in February, the market broke through the 209-day Moving Average (MA), a significant technical indicator, and retested it in March, reaching a price peak of $80. This week, CL has exhibited remarkable strength, surpassing a major resistance level and surging above $85. With this breakout, the next plausible target appears to be $90. Considering the sustained bullish momentum and the fundamental factors supporting the price surge, the current market conditions favour a bullish stance on CL.

Light Crude Oil Futures: Mid East Tensions Fuel Price Surge!Light Crude Oil Futures (CL): NYMEX:CL1! As mentioned in our morning briefing, oil is currently extremely interesting, partly due to increasing tensions in the Middle East and the destruction of oil reserves there as well as in Russia. Consequently, oil prices have surged significantly. We are currently at a level of $85, but we still consider it quite likely that the Wave Y and the overarching Wave II have not yet concluded. We expect a three-part movement towards Y, with this Y anticipated to be in the range between 127.2% and 161.8% of a Wave C. This would place it between $63.2 and $57.4, nearly forming a double bottom with Wave ((b)) at $63.64. We would invalidate this scenario and consider a bullish outlook if we surpass the $90 mark in Crude Oil Futures. Should the price fall from here, we would then expect a five-wave structure downwards. However, caution is advised with oil due to the significant political and geopolitical influences on its price. The upcoming elections at the end of the year are particularly noteworthy, as a lower gasoline price in America is hugely important for electoral success, ensuring wins. With rising oil prices and the depletion of reserves, with hardly any reserves left in America, it will likely be necessary to purchase a large amount of oil. Considering the current economic stance of America, this task appears challenging. There is only one option if the goal is to lower oil prices for repurchasing. Even a $20 difference is substantial when buying as much oil as a country the size of America needs. Therefore, we still expect prices to fall further before we see a reversal.
