Crude Oil - Why i am BearishThere are several aspects that I am bearish on this chart. First of all, we have a huge GAP on daily that must be closed soon. Secondly, Wednesday's stock data came below those of the market, so the crude oil stock is higher than the estimates, which is very bad because they have already reduced production by 1.5mln/day, which means that unless they . had reduced production, now the price of Crude Oil would have been between 50-60 usd/barrel. Now the graph shows us a close below the resistance zone, which at least for a short time, I will have a SHORT position. Also, look at the RSI , its over bought and we need a corection of price to create more demand.

WTI OIL on a triple Resistance test! Get ready for a big move.WTI Oil (USOIL) has gone a long way since our buy call a month ago, that not only did it hit its target but smashed through the Jan Lower Highs and the 1D MA100: The critical development of the week is that it hit the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time since August 30 2022. Naturally that alone constitutes big news as along with the 83.35 High of December 01 and the top (Lower Highs trend-line) if the 8-month Channel Down, form a Triple Resistance Cluster. In our opinion, as long as the price is inside the Channel Down, we have a huge long-term sell opportunity, with Target 1 being on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) at 76.50. If on the other hand breaks above the Channel Down, we will hedge buy on the short-term and target the 1W MA50 (red trend-line) at 88.00, which is untouched since October 10. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

CRUDE - the technical alignment to the UPside Part IIThe daily chart shows greater details as to why a shallow retracement of sorts is expected. The Gap occurred after the Sell Setup completed. This becomes an overextension. The overextension is now a collection of 4 dojis of indecision. This tells that it is not a Gap and Run scenario, and leaves the Gap and close to be more likely. The technical indicators MACD and VolDiv are also tapering off and need to retrace to launch further into the longer term picture. The gap is denoted by the red box. The expected bounce zone by the green box inside the red box. Noted that the daily trend is still a bear trend as the TDST Resistance of 80.94 was not exceeded by the Sell Setup closing 31 March. This is again another point suggesting a retracement... before a new Sell Setup can be started to break above 80.94. Oh... watch the orange 23-week EMA levels too! Btw, for more info on these Buy/Sell Setups, you should look into Thomas DeMark indicators, especially from his original books or the more recent condensed version by Jason Perl.

CRUDE - the technical alignment to the UPsideJsut reviewing Crude, especially in light of the recent major gap up last week after OPEC decided to cut output... Orientate to the weekly chart shows the TD Setup displayed and the Sell Setup (green box early 2022) and Buy Setup (red box mid 2022). These set the TDST, and the support is at 66.12, being the lowest point of the Sell Setup. Noted that the Buy Setup did not close below the TDST, and so noted that the long term (weeks) primary trend is bullish. Price action however, decided to test the TDST in March 2023 and bounced off. This is a bullish sign and was an expected bounce point (trade taken and exited btw, shared in earlier analysis). This bounce off was followed through by a nice gap up and a Sell Setup (bullish) restarted. Noted also that 123.68 is the TDST, which is a little far for the next two weeks, with the exception of an anomaly of very severe events happening, it is unlikely to break that level any time soon. Nonetheless, there are ranges to watch... the yellow, red, and green boxes denote these. The yellow box is the major range which Crude is ranging and needs to break out of. Expected to as the break back in a few weeks ago suggests that a breakout is in the cards. You see, when a breakdown is reversed and price breaks back into a range, it tends to go out the other side later. For now, the gap up represents a gap range that is likely to be tested to close the gap. However, price action, and other technical indicators like the MACD and VolDov are suggesting that the attempt to close the gap would be short lived. For this, a smaller time frame analysis marked out the green box for a probably bounce off support level in the likely to fail close the gap attempt, at about 77.5 to 78. Shorter term is likely to see a stall up to 82ish. Long term, bullish, but a shallow retracement and then reversal upside should be in play...

OPEC’s supply cuts pre-empt economic weaknessThe Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its partners (OPEC+) producers surprised the market with a decision on Sunday 2 April 2023 to lower production limits by more than 1mn barrels per day (bpd) from May through the end of 2023. This decision was announced ahead of the OPEC+ Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee (JMMC) meeting scheduled on 3 April and was contrary to market expectations that the committee would keep policy unchanged. Over the prior week, OPEC+ ministers were giving public assurances that they would stick to their production targets for the entire year. This cut tells us that OPEC+ is pre-empting weaker demand into the year and was looking to shore up the market. OPEC+ announcement may have caught speculators by surprise It is evident Sunday’s decision caught the market by surprise evident from the commitment of trader’s report which showed net speculative positioning in Brent crude oil futures at -44k contracts were 146% below the 5-year average. Sentiment on the crude oil market had been weak prior to the decision. Demand outlook remains soft amidst weaker economic backdrop OPEC has been markedly dovish on oil demand for some time relative to other forecasters such as the Energy Information Administration (EIA). This cut helps solve the disparity that existed between OPEC and the EIA. OPEC expects oil demand to grow by around 2mn bpd in 2023. A significant portion of this growth (nearly 710,000bpd) is reliant on Chinese oil demand . Given that such a large amount of demand hinges on a single economy poses a risk to the demand outlook as the pace of China’s recovery post re-opening has not been as robust as previously anticipated. At the same time, tightening credit conditions owing to the recent banking crisis is also likely to weigh on growth forecasts in the rest of the developed world. Global Purchasing Managers Indices (PMI) indicators suggest manufacturing activity has contracted since September 2022. Supply outlook will be driven by new OPEC+ cuts Since Russia has been producing less than its notional limit, the reduction on actual production will be less than 1mn bpd. But with Saudi Arabia committing to voluntary reduction of 500,000bpd we would expect the overall decline in OPEC supply to be around 900,000bpd by the beginning of May 2023. Assuming OPEC production holding at the recent 28.9mn bpd for April, our balances would point to an equilibrium in Q2 and a return to a deficit in Q3 and Q4. This deficit is largely a function of OPEC+ cuts as opposed to stronger demand globally. The front end of the Brent crude oil futures curve remains in backwardation with a roll yield of +0.4% OPEC+ producers can also cut without the fear that they will lose significant market share to non-OPEC members. Previously, OPEC+ would be reluctant to let prices rise too high, as it would incentivise a supply response from US producers. However, US producers today appear more focussed on capital discipline and maximizing shareholder returns. The US also has limited capacity to plug the shortfall created by OPEC+ cuts owing to last year’s unprecedented release from strategic US oil reserves (now at a 40-year low). Conclusion In the short term, OPEC production cuts are almost always supportive evident from the recent price reaction Brent crude oil prices have risen (+6.54% ). However, over the medium term, the price response to cuts have been more mixed as they do tend to signal underlying weakness in the supply/demand balance. Either OPEC countries are expecting demand to be significantly weaker or doubt oil production in Russia will decline as sharply as forecasted. So, with speculative positioning at currently low levels alongside further inventory draws expected later in the year, the risks are titled towards the upside for crude oil prices. However, given the uncertainty in the macro environment, we expect the upside in prices to be capped at about US$90 per barrel.

Crude Oil: Fibonacci Retracements, Support and Resistance LevelsI've had the opportunity to closely observe the crude oil market's impressive run after its historic dip into negative territory in 2020. To better understand the market's behavior, I've outlined a Fibonacci pull from the low in November 2020 to the high in March 2022. In this idea, I'll discuss the importance of support and resistance levels, as well as Fibonacci retracements, in the context of trading crude oil. Before diving into the technical analysis, let's first touch on the educational aspect of support and resistance levels. Support levels are price points at which an asset's price is more likely to stop falling and start rising, while resistance levels are the opposite - price points at which an asset's price is more likely to stop rising and start falling. These levels can help traders identify potential entry and exit points for trades. Similarly, Fibonacci retracements are an analytical tool derived from the famous Fibonacci sequence. They are used to identify potential support and resistance levels by measuring the percentage retracement of an asset's price between a low and a high. The most common retracement levels are 23.6%, 38.2%, 50%, and 61.8% (the most important level). In my crude oil analysis, the 50% Fibonacci retracement level sits at $66.29 on a log scale. We saw the price tap and test this level for a few days before witnessing a significant gap to the upside. What's particularly intriguing isn't the support we're finding at the 50% retracement level, but rather the support and resistance levels I've outlined at $61.35, $85.88, and $93.33. Should the price fall below the 50% retracement level, we have the downside support at $61.35. On the other hand, if the price continues moving upwards, we can expect resistance at $85.88 and $93.33. The $93 level is near the 23.6% Fibonacci level, indicating that we may encounter significant resistance at this point. A few days ago, we observed a sizable gap at around $80 after production numbers were released. Generally, production cuts lead to a higher cost for assets like crude oil, as supply shrinks while demand remains steady. If oil prices surpass the resistance level of $93-$94, there's a high likelihood we could see oil reaching $180 in the coming years – approximately two years out. Although I would assign a 20% probability to this scenario, it's essential to note that support and resistance levels have proven to be crucial in the history of oil trading. Crude oil is unlike other assets and has a reputation for trapping the herd. So, where do you stand in the herd today? Understanding and effectively utilizing Fibonacci retracements, support, and resistance levels can be the key to navigating the crude oil market and making informed decisions in your trading journey.

Oil maintains post OPEC+ gainsAs mentioned in my previous oil update a couple of weeks ago that “the OPEC might have to cut even more production to prevent prices from falling significantly further,” that’s precisely what they did at the weekend, creating a big gap in oil prices. Oil prices eased off their highs slightly, but not by much. At the time of writing, there were approaching the overnight highs again. Where does oil go from here? Breakaway gap While gaps typically fill, they don’t always. This could be a breakaway gap in oil prices. The impact of the production cuts could send WTI to at least $85-$90 from here, before we potentially see some real weakness in oil prices again. Any short-term weakness in oil prices could prove to be bear traps, and thus may well be bought. In case you didn’t read the news, the OPEC+ blindsided the market with a surprise production cut, announced at the weekend. The group agreed to cut nearly 1.7 million barrels of oil per day. The reductions are pledged from next month through year end. Saudi Arabia is again leading the way with 500,000 barrels per day of cuts. Several other Gulf states have joined in with their curbs. Russia, who had already announced a 500k bpd through June, has now extended that through year end. The OPEC+ decision comes totally unexpected. Given that nearly 1.7 million barrels of oil per day will be held back from global supply, this should keep prices supported. In the short-term we well see some further significant gains in WTI, before the focus turns to weaker demand outlook. What about the longer-term outlook? While the OPEC+ cuts are expected to tighten the oil market and may well provide further support to prices in the near-term, the longer-term outlook remains uncertain. After all, a side effect will be a fresh inflationary jolt to the world economy. This in turn may mean even more rate increases than was priced in last week. Ultimately, a high oil price will hurt demand at a time when household and business finances are overstretched. The thing about oil demand, though, is that it is very price inelastic. So, unless something like Covid happens again, don’t expect to see a material drop in oil prices due to demand weakness. People will not stop driving or travelling by plane because of high oil prices. Therefore, demand is only likely to get hurt moderately by rising oil prices. Indeed, oil is a supply-driven market. Thus, the only way for oil prices to come under significant pressure again is if non-OPEC supply increases sharply. This is possible but will take some time for producers outside the OPEC+ to ramp up their production. So, the big risk is that this could start another supply war between the OPEC+ and non-OPEC countries such as the US and Canada.

Crude shoots higher on announcement of production cutsWe take a look at the resistance levels following the Saudi Arabia announcement. We have seen a clean bounce off long term moving averages suggesting that we are likely to see the market gravitate to its 55-week ma at 90.09.

WTI Outlook 3 April 2023Following the surprise news from OPEC+ where the cartel decided to cut production by more than 1 million barrels a day, energy prices gapped strongly to the upside. WTI tested the 82 price level again which was at the 50% fibonacci retracement level. Typically it is believed that price would have to close the gap before continuing with the trend again. Therefore, look for WTI to retrace before trading higher again, and if price breaks above the 82 resistance level, the next key resistance level is at 93.55 Overall significantly choppy price action is anticipated on energy prices in the short term

Will oil prices continue to rise?The decline in U.S. crude oil inventories and the suspension of exports from the Kurdistan region of Iraq have supported the upward trend in oil prices, overshadowing the smaller-than-expected pressure on Russia's supply cuts.At the same time, five OPEC+ representatives said that the alliance may stick to the existing oil production reduction agreement at Monday's meeting. On the technical side, WTI crude oil fluctuated and fell after the opening of the market, and slowly recovered after reaching a minimum of 73.74. The current price is trading near 74.7. Although crude oil is currently facing strong technical pressure, which has led to a small decline in the current situation, but the short-term upward structure has still not been effectively destroyed, so it can maintain a low bullish pattern in the short term. Short-term trading reference: 1.Buy crude oil near the 73.7 position, stop loss level 73.3, take profit level 75.2 2.Try to sell crude oil in small batches near 75.3, with a stop loss level of 75.6 and a take profit level of 74.3 In order to facilitate everyone to continue to follow up on my analysis and sharing, you can like and follow me; in addition, I will share the daily real-time strategy in the channel.

US Oil - Last downward leg - Pt.5During the last posts, we tracked the last leg of triple three cycle wave ((2)). Our short trades secured us a profit of 3.4% of equity during this month, as per the trades posted. We always reason in terms of Equity Points since we believe it helps in reasoning in terms of risk managment. We anticipated that, when this corrective move will be finished, a big upside will resume in cycle wave (3). Which fundamentals will be consistent with this future possibility? As written in our manifesto , we believe that fundamentals unfold simultaneoulsy with price. Hence we can not know now. But we can imagine some fundamental scenario that will be consistent with this prediction. For example, just imagine that countries will continue to use oil until it will be worn out (which is not so unlikely). What will happen before it worns out, if there is still demand? With how much anticipation the market will price this dynamic? This is just speculation, and when we look to the chart we see that price is retesting the simmetrical triangle after a 5 wave down. We could have bottomed, but we are not assuming it to be our main case since: 1.- retail sentiment is still very high to the bullish side 2- our big 57-63 confluence zone has not been tagged 3- our leading indicator (exposed here ) constructed with futures term spread and EIA inventories still did not reverse. Hence, we are counting this current price action as a double zig zag targeting our conlfluence zone for the completion of wave Z. Since price tagged (a)=(c) in the last three wave up from 64, we entered short at @73.72- Our stop loss is at 74.64 for 0.5% risk. We will update here! GMR
