2024-06-03 - a daily price action after hour update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. wti crude oil comment: In my weekly outlook I was bullish for 80 again, unless bears produced strong momentum below 76 and that was basically just on trading hour today where sold off for 232 ticks. 75 was the price I was talking about for weeks now and bears had a strong bear day down to 74. Depending on how you draw the bull trend line from the weekly/monthly chart starting in 2021-08, we are close enough or right on it. I do think bears surprised enough today to get another leg down because they clearly broke below the bear channel from last week. 72 is an obvious next target or the 2023 close at 71.6. current market cycle: Bear trend key levels: 70-77 bull case: The best the bulls can hope for is sideways movement and maybe a retest of the lower bear channel line around 74.5. Every touch of the 1h 20ema is violently sold and until that changes, bulls have no arguments on their side. They need to keep it above 74 or we will probably see 72 fast. Invalid below 74 bear case: Bears did enough damage today to make bulls very cautious. Breaks below a bear channel with accelerated selling are not that common so it’s a strong breakout. No one knows where most algo’s draw the big bull trend line so we will probably find out over the next days. Right now it’s waiting for a pull-back to maybe the 15m or 1h 20ema where we wait for confirmation of another leg down. I got measured move targets between 70 and 72. short term: Sideways to down - I wait for a pull-back or another strong momentum sell medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 73 and 86 (could also be 87 but for now I see the spike above 83 as a failed breakout of the triangle. We hit the lower trend line and now we will test back up to above 83. —will update this tomorrow or Wednesday trade of the day: Selling while the bar 10 was forming. I told my room to sell at 15:39 and we were short from 75.92 for +90 and immediately after another short on the bounce for +50.

Crude oil eyes $80, but resistance loomsWTI is on track for a bullish engulfing week to snap a 3-week losing streak. And as it fell over 17% from the April high, it could pave the way for further gains in the coming weeks. However, there are plenty of resistance levels around the $80 that could spur bears from the side lines. The May VPOC and VAH sit around Wednesday's high, and the monthly R1 and weekly R2 near the May high. So whilst another crack at $80 seems more likely than note, the $80 area could be an interesting area to fade into. Strong support sits around $75.50, making it a viable target for bears and area for bulls to reconsider entering for an anticipated move above $80.

Can the HOUSE CAPITALIZE LONG ABOVE DAILY SWING EQ...?NYMEX:CL1! "To succeed...You need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you." -Tony Dorsett Family, Summer is officially here and I hope everyone is well and in gr8 spirits. Here I am going to give you a detailed narrative as to why I believe we can capitalize LONG on OIL this week juss above Daily Swing EQ Level and Target 70.5% Fib Level Which is the EQ Level of the overall 4Hr Supply Zone.... Risky however still HIGH Probable...Vibe w/me 1) The 1st confirmation I want to see is price break the last 4Hr Swing High ($76.25) and head towards the EQ Fib level ($76.55)/ 4Hr Supply Zone... 2) Now what happens next is what will determine if we go LONG or not.... The only thing that makes me slightly hesitant in taking this LONG is the fact we have an ascending iR/LQ Trendline currently that buyers have created and I know for a fact Sellers need to sweep this liquidity the question is when will they do it? 3) Once we break above the Fib EQ level ($76.55) I need to see a candle closure above price on the 30m TF & Below... However Price could very much so close above inside the 4Hr Supply then sellers step in and drop price to sweep the iR/LQ then buyers push price rii back up above EQ Level... SO its case by case scenario lets just await and see what happens... Ill keep update as PA prints.... Remember when it comes to FRM (Financial Risk Management) our job is to manage the downside costs of printing High side returns of $$$ consistently... Let's Step!!

Impending rise for oil prices?If you would like to be notified whenever I post a new article, just click “FOLLOW” at the top. Also, if you would like to elaborate on a particular topic or need some advice, please comment below the article and I will be happy to help. Impending rise for oil prices? WTI crude oil futures held steady around $78 a barrel on Tuesday, after rising 3 percent in the previous session on expectations of increased demand for fuel in the summer. The U.S. government may also fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at a faster pace as it aims to buy back oil priced around $79 per barrel. However, I remain cautious as I await the Federal Reserve's policy decision and U.S. inflation data this week. Positive U.S. employment data released on Friday raised concerns that the Fed may keep interest rates higher for longer, which could hurt the economic outlook and energy demand. Markets will be interested in data on U.S. crude oil inventories from the EIA today. OPEC+'s announcement to ease production limits by the end of the year has created much discussion about recent changes in oil prices. But personally, I am not worried because if prices continue to fall, the oil cartel may have to delay or cancel the plan to phase down production as early as August. It would not be surprising if OPEC+ decides to postpone production cuts and announce this decision as early as early August if oil prices remain around $70. Earlier this week, OPEC+ announced that production cuts of 1.66 million barrels per day will remain in place until 2025. In addition, voluntary production cuts of 2.2 mbpd will be maintained for another three months until September and then gradually reduced. Lower oil prices are a blow to major oil producers such as Saudi Arabia and Russia. The former needs an oil price above $90 a barrel to balance its budget, while the latter needs an even higher price to support the ongoing military intervention in Ukraine. Although there may be a decrease in oil prices, this is likely to remain subdued during the summer due to seasonal demand that will keep crude stocks in check. In the summer season, we expect sustained demand for oil and a reduction in global inventories from July to September. Therefore, we maintain a positive view on oil prices in the summer months. If you are trying to predict oil prices, there is a highly effective method you can use. Analyze oil producers to determine if their stocks are solid and cheap. With Tradingview you will have an essential tool to properly analyze the fundamental performance of each stock, avoiding costly mistakes. By using Trading View to analyze Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM), we can see that the stock is strong and attractively priced, which makes me optimistic about oil prices in the future. My prediction is that oil prices will reach $82 in the next quarter. We look forward to seeing you in the next article! And remember, for successful trading always rely on Tradingview: an indispensable tool that can help you avoid serious mistakes during your trades.

2024-06-10 - a daily price action after hour update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. overall market comment Markets went mostly flat today. Dax sears tried and were rejected again and sp500 and nasdaq made higher lows and lower highs. Markets are forming triangles which means we are in breakout mode again. No surprise moving into CPI and FOMC this week. I expect more sideways movement until then. Commodities all green, while Gold is flat, Oil continued the pull-back big time to get back to 78. Bulls strength surprised me tbh. The pull-back is already too strong for the bear trend to continue much further. Oil trading range is probably 72 - 80 for the next weeks. wti crude oil comment: Don’t long at the top of a expanding triangle and after a huge buy climax. In my weekly outlook I wrote that we will hit the daily ema at around 77 again but I obviously did not expect it to be done so fast. Oil was still in a trading range until the breakout above 76.23 but bulls kept at it and the 15m ema held into US close. Since we are at the top of the expanding triangle, I am not interested in buying up here. A pull-back is reasonable here but as of right now, bulls are in full control until bears break below the 15m ema and one should not short into such a strong trend. 78 should be bigger resistance. current market cycle: Trading range key levels: 72 - 80 bull case: With today the bear trend concludes imo, since the move was too strong to be part of the bear trend. The 72.48 low could be retested over the next days to weeks but the downside is probably limited to around that area. Bulls want the strong momentum to continue and get most bears stops above 80. It would be insanely strong, if they could break above the bear channel in one giant move over two days. It’s very low probability that this will happen. If it does, we are probably facing an macro event over the next days. Invalid below 70 bear case: Bears gave up above 76.3 and market moved fast to 78. If bears can not keep it below 78, we will probably melt more up to 80. My line in the sand for bears was around 77-77.5 but bulls melted through. Not many arguments for the bears here until they get below the 15m ema and stop the market from making higher highs. short term: Bullish af. If this continues, we see 80 soon. If we see 79 in Globex, the chances of an event are big imo. Something is up. medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 73 and 86 (could also be 87 but for now I see the spike above 83 as a failed breakout of the triangle. We hit the lower trend line and now we will test back up to above 83. —will update this Wednesday current swing trade: None trade of the day: I had no interest in buying above 75.5 and under 76.3 but missed the big breakout. Bad trading on my part. Had to get long since bar 9 or latest bar 10.

#202424 - a weekly price action market recap and outlook - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. wti crude oil futures Quote from last week: bear case: Bears sold 80 again and will probably take profits here at 77 or try to get 76 again. If they get a breakout below, we will probably test 75, which is a price I thought we would test for 5-7 weeks now. It’s a bad sell here at 77 for bears so best they can get is sideways movement. comment: Fair to say that bears surprised me big time on Monday with the huge follow through selling through previous bigger support. 72 stopped the fall and created an expected bounce. I do think this was W5 and my bearish targets are all met for now. Market should move sideways to up from here. On Friday we got a perfect retest of the breakout price of 76 and that was resistance for now. Worst case scenario for bulls would be to stay below 76. The bull trend line will get retested and should hold for now. current market cycle: Bear trend which could transition into a trading range here key levels: 72-78 bull case: The best the bulls can hope for, is for the lows to hold and to move sideways and hit the daily ema again. They failed at keeping it above 75, which was huge support. Last bear leg inside this bigger trading range was 11 weeks long from high to low and we are currently at 9 weeks. Bulls will want to find support here around 70-72 and trade back up to at least 78 over the next 8-12 weeks. Invalidation is below 71. bear case: Huge bear surprise imo on Monday and bears want to keep it max bearish and they will do that by keeping the market below the breakout price around 76 and below the daily ema. They want a retest of 72.5 again and poke the bull trend line enough for bulls to give up there. If they actually get an acceleration of this bear trend, which is the low probability thing, they could retest 70 next and below 70 comes 67 as support. Invalidation is above 80.5. outlook last week: “R:R is on the bull side here at the bottom of this range. I wait for confirmation on Monday before going long for 80 again. Below 76 we could get to 75 but that would require strong momentum for me to go short down here.” → Last Sunday we traded 76.99 and now we are at 75.53. High of the week was 77.52 so the uber bearish price action, was surprising to me. I did not advise you to be bullish, unless there confirmation for the bulls and obviously that did not happen. So my bearish target of 75, if we go below 76, was alright but way too short of 72.48. Not a good outlook. short term: Neutral because I think we will hit the daily ema again and a retest of 72.5ish. I am not a fortune teller so I don’t know which comes first. medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 73 and 83. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. Market will probably move more inside this big range until we get a new big cycle to either side. current swing trade: None chart update: Added my pretty bear channel, adjusted 5-wave series and added a two-legged pullback, which we are probably in as of now. The red ABC is how I imagine it to play out price-wise, not time wise. We should see a retest of the lows as well as the daily ema. I don’t know which comes before what or when. Also adjusted the big bear trend line from 2022.
