WTI CRUDE OIL Channel Up top and 11month Resistance rejection.WTI Crude Oil / USOIL has completed 2 red 1day candles for the first time since August 23rd.
This is after the formation of a new Higher High on the three month Channel Up pattern.
In the meantime that High was very close to the 93.80 Resistance A level, which was a Double Top on November 7th 2022.
With the 1day MACD about to close a Sell Cross, we couldn't have a steadier sell combination than that.
Sell and target 85.00 (bottom of Channel Up and expected contact with the 1day MA50).

CORN vs CRUDE Here's a quick view of CORN vs CRUDE which has been moving together for the past ten years with some variation.
With CRUDE pushing highs here (Price Inflation fears rampant) and CORN pushing new lows (Food Deflation - no fears about falling corn prices in the news warning about falling inflation), it seems obvious to put up a chart showing how these two markets are set up at the moment.
CORN and CRUDE have moved to an extreme and with CORN pointing lower I am seeing that there is a trade setting up.
In the past, I was constructive on CORN and was looking for corn to catch UP to crude oil, but that didn't materialize like it did in the 1970's with a 4-fold advance. The monetary inflation we have had in both cycles would have supported much higher corn prices.
However, here we are. Corn has fallen to lows going back more than a year, but the obvious story is that crude oil is making 52-week highs. Side note: You can also see that crude oil is down 7% from 2012 or 11 years ago. This is NOMINALLY as well. Inflation has been substantial for the last 11 years and may be 40% or 50%.
Also note that corn is down 45% from 11 years ago "NOMINALLY". After inflation, corn prices are down 60% or more.
So, this trade sets up within the near future and you could put both sides on: long corn, short crude. Or you can take sell signals only on all technical setups for crude on the daily chart. I would suggest do a little of both and have 5 different definitions of "technical trend" to follow. The simplest is "sell a 5-day new low" and use a stop over the 5-day high.
Stay tuned!

Crude Oil versus Stock PricesDrops in crude oil have an impact on stocks in a positive way.
The important point to remember is that falling crude oil prices have a lagged effect on the overall equity market. How long is that lag? It changes over time but it is approximately 6 months.
When oil prices rise, it too has a lagged effect on the market by a variable amount of time. Of course, it depends on many factors, regulatory and global risks constantly change. I am not covering the risk of rising oil price with this chart, only reinforcing the positive impacts of falling oil prices.
Oil prices are the most-watched price since we see them on gas station signs everywhere we drive and yet it doesn't have instant impact on the economy.
Look at the history of the price of crude oil and the price of stocks. They are related as you can see when I plot the large drops in crude and the price level of stocks when that drop occurred.

Please consider carefully if such trading is appropriate for you.
Past performance is not indicative of future results.
Always limit your leverage and use tight stop loss.
Double CPI Day for the EUR & CADCertain weeks stand out in importance, and the week ahead is shaping up to be one of them.
On the economic calendar we have the Eurozone & Canada CPI as standouts for Tuesday, UK CPI & FOMC on Wednesday. Such action-packed weeks often provide the catalyst for the next move in the markets.
Our attention is currently drawn to the EURCAD for multiple reasons. Firstly, from a technical perspective, we see the EURCAD completing a head and shoulder pattern on a daily timeframe, which is generally associated with a trend reversal. This is further supported by the 200-day simple moving average, which has consistently marked out the trend for the currency pair. With prices recently crossing below the moving average, this could mark a change in the overall trend, potentially heading lower.
Further, when looking at the long-term chart, the 1.440 level has been a critical point of support & resistance across its history, with prices often either breaking through with momentum or stopping and bouncing off this level.
Looking at each leg of the EURCAD against the USD also reveals an intriguing setup, with the USDCAD trading near the resistance of a descending channel and the EURUSD breaking sharply below its trend support. Both indicate a potentially lower EURCAD.
Another interesting comparison we can make is the currency pair with its related markets. Both the Euro and Canadian dollar are deeply tied to the USD; thus, the broad dollar proxy should have some relationship with the pair. By overlaying the inverse dollar index (DXY) and the EURCAD, we see both are closely related with the Inverse DXY pointing towards a slightly lower EURCAD. The same observation applies when we overlay the EURCAD and the Inverse Crude Oil prices, given the correlation of the Canadian dollar with crude prices due to its oil-exporting nature.
With CPI numbers out for both economies next week, it is also worth looking at the economic data from both countries. From an unemployment rate perspective, the Eurozone is faring worse than Canada, a trend echoed when we look at YOY GDP. Both indicators suggest a frail Eurozone economy, likely making the central bank more cautious as it tries not to overdo policy tightening and risk sending the Eurozone into a deep recession.
On top of that, the recent guidance from both central banks reveals slightly different undertones. The Bank of Canada anticipates higher year-over-year inflation readings, while the ECB forecasts declines in headline inflation and harmonised index of consumer prices (HICP) readings. This further supports the idea that the ECB might be more dovish, while the Bank of Canada could lean towards a hawkish stance.
All things considered, the case for a lower EURCAD seems compelling based on the technical charts at key levels, comparisons with other markets, and central bank stances. We could express this view via the CME-listed Euro/Canadian Dollar with a short position at the current level of 1.440, take profit at 1.380 and stop loss at 1.457, offering a risk-reward ratio of 3.5.
Alternatively, the currency pair can be synthetically constructed using the more liquid Euro FX Futures and Canadian Dollar Futures. To establish a short position on the EURCAD, one can sell 2 EURO FX Futures and buy 1 Canadian Dollar Future. This approach approximates the hedge for the position, considering that each EURO FX Futures contract represents 125,000 Euros, and each Canadian Dollar Futures contract corresponds to 100,000 Canadian Dollars. At the current exchange rate of roughly 1.44, 1 Euro FX Futures contract is equivalent to approximately 180,000 Canadian Dollars, resulting in a 2:1 ratio. Each 0.0001 per Euro increment for the Euro/Canadian Dollar Futures is 12.50 Canadian dollars, while each 0.000050 per Euro increment for the Euro FX Futures is $6.25 and each 0.00005 per CAD increment for the Canadian Dollar Futures is $5.00.

Crude Oil Repeating the Pattern from 1985 to 2008I posted this pattern originally back in 2019 which showed the relationship between sharp drops in crude oil prices and the resulting support levels created in the stock market, as measured by the $SPX500 S&P500 Index.
Crude oil has basically gone sideways over the last 40 years when adjusted for inflation and when you factor in efficiency in that we get 22 mpg on average now in our vehicles vs closer to 10 mpg back in the early1980's. Essentially, the price of oil has only kept up with inflation.
When there is a spike in crude oil, it sets the seeds of its own destruction. We figure out how to use less and save more and find more oil. In this latest spike, there is a strong move again to save in the form of solar panels, battery storage and natural gas. Time will tell how the current pattern pans out.
The historical pattern suggests downside risk of 30%-40% for crude oil and upside of 200% which is a decent 10 year risk/reward ratio. If crude oil falls 20% from current levels near $84/barrel on 9/22/22, the risk/rewards gets extremely attractive as it drops to down 40%. The upside potential becomes 400% and the downside risk is 10% or less at that point.
Stay tuned!

Brent above @$100 might not be a myth !Brent have two recent bottoms 1.June 2023 ($72) and 2. August 2023 ($82.5) and has rallied more than 33% since July. The rally still looks to be continuing without till 496, $98.5 and $100 very soon. Given the strong momentum buildup and supply cuts from OPEC+ has given the oil a due rally which the cartel was expecting since June 2023.
Technically speaking levels of $126 are also on the charts as the commodity is breaking out of a Declining wedge pattern which was in formation from Jul 2022 to Jul 2023 a strong supply side pressure will be giving the commodity due advantage to rise above $100 to $125.65 as we can see.

CADJPY – holding for 109.50 While NOK (Norwegian krone) has the strongest statistical relationship with Brent and WTI crude, we can see a strengthening correlation between crude and the CAD. We see the 1-month correlation between crude and CADJPY at 0.68, so it's meaningful. We also see (on the daily) price breaking out of the top of its recent range of 108.50. While many will be concerned with being short JPY, given BoJ intervention risk, for now, traders remain happy to fade JPY strength as carry is still attractive (given the low volatility). Also, with crude on the rise the market sees this benefiting Canada’s terms of trade, while it negatively impacts Japan’s economics given, they are a big importer of energy. The bulls happy to hold for 109.50, stops on a daily close below the 5-Day EMA.
SpotCrude – higher levels starting to impact risk Further highs in crude have been seen in this momentum move. This time courtesy of some punchy OPEC forecasts for a 3.3m barrel p/d deficit in Q4. The IEA (International Energy Agency) are due to provide their update in the session ahead, and one can also expect a change in the forecast, given they previously pencilled in a 230k bpd deficit. $90 is the obvious round-number target for longs, ahead of the Oct 2022 highs of $93.52.
Clients are biased to fade the move here though (61% of open positions are now held short), but while crude is certainly overbought one considers the trigger for a pronounced mean reverting move. Higher levels from here are likely going to increase market anxiety, where we see inflation expectations rising once again.
WTI H4 | Potential bullish bounce?USOIL (WTI) is falling towards an overlap support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 85.930 which is an overlap support.
Stop loss is at 84.564 which is a pullback support that aligns under the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
Take profit is at 88.065 which is a recent swing-high resistance.

WTI OIL Pull-back and final buy opportunity before +$93.00.WTI Oil (USOIL) is trading within a Channel Up pattern since early June with the 1D MA50 (red trend-line) supporting since July 06. Based on the 4H MACD, the price is pulling back at the moment to test the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) as Support, similar to July 17. If it holds, it will be the final bullish sequence to test the 93.75 Resistance (October 10 & November 07 2022 Double Top), so we will buy and target 93.00. If not, the last opportunity will remain at the bottom of the Channel Up and on the 1D MA50.

OIL STOCKS leading CRUDE OILWhat do you mean by a spread? A spread is a difference between two similar markets, in this case oil stocks and oil service companies versus the basic commodity that those oil companies trade in, which is crude oil.
There is a substantial trade set up at the moment that presents large returns with a reasonable amount of risk. Shorting Energy Stocks using the $XLE ETF and going long oil with the $USO ETF.
In the last two instances, it was $USO that was leading higher without $XLE to support the advance, and $USO collapsed to close the spread. See chart enclosed above.
Why does this spread exist? We can point to political promises to "end the use of oil" that forced investors to reconsider the long term valuations of oil stocks. Investors don't typically "own oil" through oil futures, rather they own "oil in the ground" by way of oil companies.
Risk $5-$10 in crude oil and 5%-10% in $XLE roughly. If one market moves more than 5% then we can look to increase the position and tighten the stops to break-even.
There is no specific 'catalyst' to drive this pair back together at the moment. If the economy opens back up globally, then oil demand estimates will rise and cause people to buy oil futures. Opening up could also drive energy stocks higher too due to very high margins currently in the processing of crude oil into their refined products.
The only risk in life is taking no risks. Nothing is without risk. Holding cash leaves you to be exposed to inflation and the loss in purchasing power. The rest of the disclaimers are standard legal ones. I have no positions in this trade yet, but will be considering them.
A good way to manage risk is to use options in the form of spreads on both sides of this trade to define a maximum amount of risk in advance. Buying a call spread on $USO and buying a put spread on $XLE would serve to manage risk intelligently. The duration of this trade should be 3 months at maximum.
Finding volatility in Labor holiday trading: USDCAD & WTIThe Reserve Bank of Australia is expected to keep its rate on hold in its meeting today, so there might not be anything interesting here. Do we think this rate decision is going to make more of an impact on the Aussie than the Australian GDP (Gross Domestic Product) figures that are released tomorrow? There has been talk of the Australian dollar being undervalued, so I’m going to keep a cursory eye on the AUD/USD anyhow. $0.6520 seems to be an interesting target to the upside for the pair.
Similarly, the Bank of Canada’s interest rate decision later in the week is also supposed to be a dud. But a rate rise from the BoC is not entirely off the table considering the opposition that has come out against it recently, including two Canadian premiers David Eby and Doug Ford. With the interest rate decision potentially not having much impact on the USDCAD, it might be better to look at oil prices.
On Monday, WTI crude oil surged past the $85 per barrel mark, reaching its highest point in more than nine months (currently $85.49). The anticipation of Saudi Arabia and OPEC+ implementing oil production cuts is propelling WTI prices higher.
With oil looking to set new yearly highs, we might like to consider caps on the USDCAD. It recently bounced off $1.3639, coinciding with the surge in oil, so it might not be silly to think of this as the most notable resistance level.
