TA:
We are headed to the demand zone possibly testing support 61.50
I am expecting a bounce from 61.50 level
Not enough catalysts to drive us lower and definitely not enough catalysts to drive us to 64 level
New range: 61.50 - 63.30

๐ข๏ธ๐ฅ Why Oil Spiked to 64.40 Then Collapsed to 62.40?? Here Is The Full Picture:
Oil climbed into 64.30โ64.40 resistance before fading sharply to 62.40 and closing the weekly candle bearish. ๐ Headlines suggested bullish momentum, but the technical + fundamental structure told the real story.
๐๐ Technical View:
1-๐ซ Strong rejection at 64.30โ64.40 supply zoneโ sellers defended this ceiling.
2-๐ Momentum failure at EMAs (34 & 89 on 8H/16H) โ rallies couldnโt sustain trend confirmation.
3-๐จ Candle Range Theory (CRT) shifted tone: ๐ด red = bearish candle, ๐ข green = bullish candle, ๐ orange = indecision. The switch aligned with reversal.
4-๐ TSI rolled over from extension highs โ momentum fading.
5-๐ Stoch RSI crossed down from overbought (>90) โ sell timing trigger.
6-โ ๏ธ Bearish divergence โ price made new highs, but momentum didnโt follow.
โ Result โ rejection at resistance + confluence = fast bearish reversal.
๐๐ Fundamental View
1-๐ต Fed cut 25 bps โ smaller than expected โ โbuy rumor, sell factโ selling.
2- ๐ข๏ธ Crude draw (-9M barrels) โ bullish headline, but mostly exports, not real demand.
3- ๐ญ OPEC hike โ minor, but with oil at 61.25 lows, the smaller hike looked bullish short-term, fueling 64.40 run.
4-๐ฅ Russia refinery strike (Ukraine) โ temporary shock, offset by Russia adapting + EU/US sanctions.
6-๐ Global demand โ still weak, keeping upside capped.
๐ง ๐ Takeaway
The spike was headline-driven โก, but technicals signaled weakness before the sell-off:
1- Fed cut too shallow.
2- Crude draw lacked true demand.
3-OPEC still adding supply.
4-64.40 acted as a hard ceiling.
๐ Result โ Fade back to 62.40 and bearish weekly close.
๐๐บ๏ธ Path Ahead
1-๐ข Support โ 62.00โ62.50: break below = push toward 61.70.
2-๐ด Resistance โ 64.00โ64.40: reclaim with strength needed to tilt bullish.
๐ EMA guidance:
1-EMA 34 & 89 โ trend check โ
2-EMA 200 โ macro ceiling ๐ง
3-EMA 20 โ short-term accelerator โก
โก Bias: Neutral-to-Bearish unless 63.60-64.00 is reclaimed.
