WTI(20251002)Today's AnalysisMarket News:
At 8:15 PM Beijing time on Wednesday, U.S. ADP employment figures fell by 32,000 in September, the largest drop since March 2023 and the third decline in four months. This was below market expectations of 50,000 jobs, and the previous reading was revised down from 54,000 to -3,000.
After the data was released, U.S. Treasury yields fell, and spot gold saw little short-term movement. Traders increased their bets on two more Federal Reserve rate cuts this year. Interest rate swaps tied to the date of the upcoming Fed meeting indicate an expected rate cut of 46 basis points by year-end, compared to a 42 basis point estimate before the data was released.

Crude oil: Sell around 64.00, target 62.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
We've said this many times before: sell crude oil when it rebounds. Don't be afraid. If it breaks through, we'll lose money, but if it doesn't, we'll make money every time. The daily chart and indicators haven't changed. This is still a correction after a sharp sell-off, encountering resistance. We need to look for rebounds during this correction to continue selling. Sell crude oil if it rebounds today at 64.00.
Fundamental Analysis:
Recent fundamentals revolve around the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts. This week, we'll focus on two major data points: ADP and non-farm payrolls.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude oil: Sell around 64.00, target 62.00-60.00
Light Crude Oil (CL) Elliott Wave Outlook Points to Lower PricesThe short-term Elliott Wave structure in crude oil indicates a downward cycle from the June 23, 2025, high, unfolding as a five-wave impulse. Wave 1 concluded at $61.45, and wave 2 rallied to $66.42, as shown on the 1-hour chart. Wave 2 developed as a regular flat structure. From wave 1’s low, wave ((a)) peaked at $64.76. Wave ((b)) fell to $61.85, and wave ((c)) advanced to $66.42, finalizing wave 2.
Oil now declines in wave 3, structured as an impulse. From wave 2’s high, wave (i) reached $64.87, and wave (ii) corrected to $65.40. Wave (iii) dropped to $62.98, followed by wave (iv) at $63.50. Oil should extend lower in wave (v) to complete wave ((i)) of 3. Afterward, a wave ((ii)) rally will likely adjust the decline from the September 26, 2025, high in a 3, 7, or 11-swing pattern before resuming downward. As long as the $66.42 pivot high remains intact, near-term rallies are expected to fail in a 3, 7, or 11-swing sequence, leading to further declines. This structure suggests oil faces continued bearish pressure in the short term, with limited upside potential unless the pivot breaks.
Crude oil - Sell around 65.20, target 63.00-61.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Crude oil has recently begun to surge higher, reaching around 65.40. Selling crude oil on the spot is recommended. Crude oil has reached the upper limit of the range, a level that has been repeatedly tested in recent trading. The recent range for crude oil is 66.00-60.00. We maintain a bearish outlook for the daily chart.
Fundamental Analysis:
This week's fundamentals have limited impact on the market. The US dollar has also begun to fluctuate. The market awaits new data to drive it. The Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts in October remain a key focus.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude oil - Sell around 65.20, target 63.00-61.00
Crude Oil MCX Future - Intraday Technical Analysis - 25 Sept. 25MCX:CRUDEOIL1!
Crude Oil is consolidating at 5,773 after an extended rally, now testing key resistance in the neutral zone.
Bullish Scenario (Long Logic)
Long Entry (5,724):
Enter long above 5,724 as the breakout confirms strength above previous resistance-turned-support and continues the higher low structure seen in recent hours.
Add further positions near 5,706 on pullbacks with rising trend confirmation.
Upside Targets:
5,871 (Target 1): Marks the first major supply area and likely point of profit booking if momentum sustains.
5,930 (Target 2): Final mapped extension, corresponding to recent session highs and an upper channel resistance.
Stop Loss:
Place below 5,706 or tighten to 5,688 to minimize downside on failed break below intraday support.
Bearish Scenario (Short Logic)
Short Entry (5,688):
Enter short under 5,688 as it confirms a breakdown below key support with a lower low setup.
Downside Targets:
5,681 (Target 1): Previous bounce region, often a short-term reversal or covering spot.
5,622 (Target 2): Deeper demand, potential extension if selling pressure accelerates.
Stop Loss:
Cover shorts above 5,724 as that signals failed breakdown and likely reversal.
Neutral/Structure Logic
Neutral Zone (5,776):
Price here indicates indecision; best to avoid fresh positions until a decisive breakout or breakdown.
Sustained close above means bulls remain in control; below 5,724 means a retracement setup is active.

Federal Reserve Chairman Powell stated that the policy rate remains somewhat restrictive, but allows the Fed to better respond to potential economic developments; tariffs are expected to have a one-time pass-through effect; and decisions will "never be based on political considerations." Fed spokespersons noted that Powell's comments indicate that he believes interest rates remain tight, potentially opening the door for further rate cuts.

Triple Confluence: POC Return + Dual Divergence + Delta Flat🔥 CL1! Triple Confluence: POC Return + Dual Divergence + Delta Flat
The Market Participant Battle:
Bears have been systematically crushed at three critical junctures. First, at point 2 (the POC from swing 0→3), establishing proven trapped participants. Second, at point 4 where price pierced VWAP's 2nd deviation only to violently reject. Now, on the 15-minute entry timeframe, we see the final capitulation signal: delta remaining completely flat (no divergence) while price shows bullish divergence. This triple-layered setup reveals bears are not just beaten - they're exhausted, absorbed, and about to fuel a squeeze back to the $65-68 resistance zone as price returns to reclaim the proven participants at point 2.
Confluences:
Confluence 1: POC Market Participant Trap (1H Chart)
The hourly chart reveals the foundation of this trade: Point 2 marks the Point of Control from the major swing 0→3, where maximum volume traded hands. When price closed above point 1, these participants became trapped bears. Now at point 4, we're returning to this proven battleground where shorts will be forced to cover. The numbered reference points (1,2,3,4) map the complete journey of market participants from accumulation to distribution to the current return phase.
Confluence 2: Dual MFI/RSI Divergences (1H Chart)
Both MFI and RSI show an extraordinary dual-divergence setup. First, a normal bullish divergence where price made lower lows while indicators made higher lows. Second, a hidden/continuation divergence confirming the underlying trend remains bullish. This rare combination of two different divergence types on the same indicators typically precedes 3-5% moves. The divergences span from point 2 through point 4, showing sustained buying pressure despite price weakness.
Confluence 3: VWAP 2nd Deviation Rejection + Delta Flat Entry
Using VWAP anchored from point 1, price at point 4 pierced the -2 standard deviation before snapping back - a classic institutional accumulation signal. Now on the 15-minute entry timeframe, we see the trigger: delta completely flat (180→118→95) showing no divergence despite price attempts lower, combined with bullish price divergence.
