Crude Oil (WTI) Your Detailed Trading Plan For Next Week 🛢️ Hey traders, As I predicted, WTI Crude Oil has perfectly respected a major falling trend line and dropped from that. We already caught 2 very nice winners shorting that. To catch a bearish continuation, watch 79.15 - 80.90 horizontal neckline of a head and shoulders pattern. We should wait for 4H candle close below that to confirm the breakout. Then shorting on a retest, we will expect a bearish continuation to 76.5. If the price respect a yellow zone and breaks a trend line, the setup will be invalid. ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section.

What Does This Say About the Future?As many of you know, this week Warren Buffet increased his stake in the oil and natural gas company Occidental Petroleum Corp. (OXY). Warren Buffett’s holding company Berkshire Hathaway now owns about 21% of the company. In light of Warren Buffet's purchase, I analyzed the chart of OXY to see what he or his analysts might be seeing. As I'll explain below, what I found was concerning for multiple reasons. This is the yearly chart of the entire price history of OXY. Each candle represents the price action for one year. It is important to log-adjust your charts in general, but especially when analyzing higher timeframes. Below is a log-adjusted chart. Since OXY is also a dividend-paying stock, analyzing its history over such a long time period over which it has paid dividends means we need to adjust for dividends as well. Below is a dividend-adjusted chart. Now that the chart has been properly adjusted, we can do our chart analysis. Looking at this chart, I immediately noticed that OXY is about to undergo a major Fibonacci extension. I will explain more below. First, I applied Fibonacci levels from the lowest low to the highest high. You can see my Fibonacci levels applied in the chart above (I hid the 0.5 level because that is actually not a Fibonacci level). I noticed that, during the COVID-19 Pandemic, OXY's price bounced off of the golden ratio and then proceed to move much higher. See the below chart. In my experience, this type of price action is rare and usually proceeds what is called an "S-curve jump". Without getting too deep into higher-level mathematics behind S curves, in short, an S-curve jump basically means a major breakout may occur on the time frame in which it appears. Following an S-curve jump, prices can move much higher. Since this particular jump is occurring on a high timeframe, be mindful that the move can seem slow, and there can even be periods of weeks or months of declines even though a breakout on the yearly timeframe is underway. Perhaps this is why Warren Buffet accumulated so many shares of this company. Warren Buffet is long-term investor and so investing based on the yearly chart is most consistent with a multi-decadal investment strategy like his. To help you visualize what an S-curve jump looks like I've illustrated it below. This chart is purely illustrative and is not my actual price projection for OXY (it's impossible to accurately predict price so far into the future). As shown above, price jumps from one S-curve to another, leading to significant increases in price. Interestingly, the second S-curve often starts at the golden ratio retracement of the previous S-curve. Once the price successfully jumps an S-curve, the price increases can be monumental. Actually, it is during the period after price jumps an S-curve that most people get wealthy from their investment. It's how 'millionaires are created'. However, price tends to falter at each successive Fibonacci extension. Below I've highlighted an example of this using Bitcoin which moves almost entirely based on Fibonacci extensions and retracements. Notice how following a perfect golden ratio retracement, Bitcoin moved up to nearly the next Fibonacci extension level before collapsing back down a Fibonacci level. You can see clearly that price has been hovering right on a Fibonacci level in recent months. Going back to OXY, we can use a regression channel to try to validate the hypothesis that price may move much higher in the coming year(s). See the chart below. A regression channel merely measures how far above or below its mean an asset is currently priced. Each blue line represents a standard deviation from the mean. We can see that OXY's price recently reached its mean (the red line) before retracing back down. Similar to retracement after reaching Fibonacci extensions, it is common for price to retrace some of its move each time it hits a higher standard deviation. What's noteworthy is that although OXY's price has come all the way back up near its all-time high, the regression channel shows that this level is now merely the price's mean. See the below chart. This suggests that, from a mean regression perspective, OXY's price can rise much higher before becoming as overextended as it was the last time it was priced at this level. If we conclude that OXY's price is poised to go much higher, what does this say about the future? What might spiraling energy prices say about the Federal Reserve's, and other central banks', ability to fight inflation? By buying OXY while the Fed is trying to fight inflation, is Warren Buffet fighting the Fed? What might higher energy prices say about supply issues in the long term? Might higher energy prices reflect a prolonged period of deglobalization, or perhaps, something worse like geopolitical conflict? What might the consequences of higher energy prices be for climate change? Will higher energy prices incentive more investment in alternative energy options like solar, wind, nuclear and hydrogen? One thing is for certain: The scope of monetary easing that we saw over the past couple of decades is unprecedented in history, and it has created an asset bubble that is unfathomable. I will leave you with two additional charts. One shows how low U.S. GDP growth has been over the past couple of decades, and yet how high its stock market has climbed due to monetary easing. How do you soft land a stock market that's risen into the stratosphere? By pushing it gently to the surface of the moon.

Brent: Hang on! 🐻Bulls and bears are competing for preeminence, and both of them have gained the upper hand now and then. In the long run, we expect the bears to win this battle, though, and to drag Brent to the green zone between $77.10 and $42.16, where it should finish wave III in pink. After a short countermovement to complete wave IV in pink, Brent should enter the blue zone between $66.48 and $59.58, which is enclosed in the green zone and where wave V in pink and wave 3 in blue should end. Another countermovement should then lead Brent upwards again before it should dive into the green zone once more to finally conclude the overarching downwards movement. However, there is a 32% chance that the bulls could be stronger and drag Brent above the resistance at $95.76, which would then result in a detour until the next mart at $105.42 before the bears can take charge again.

$UKOIL - Production cuts will pump it to $101Hi guys! 👋🏻 🔔 Surprisingly low US inventories data supported a short-term uptrend of Brent crude, comforting the price to hit $90 this week. 🔔 OPEC+ meeting scheduled on October 5 will be on the watch, as the cartel suggest a production cut of 100,00 barrels per day (bpd). 🔔 Brent once again retested the upper edge of the descending triangle, although the bullish run is yet to be confirmed. The confirmation is set under a breakout from the wedge and closing of the price above $91.60. If that is confirmed, then we expect the price to move further to $98 and $101. ✊🏻 Good luck with your trades! ✊🏻 If you like the idea hit the 👍🏻 button, follow me for more ideas.

Crude Oil Inflation SpiralWith crude oil prices declining, one might expect that the Federal Reserve's monetary tightening is working and that perhaps a pivot may be on the horizon. However, if we dig deeper, charts are sending warning signs that perhaps crude oil prices, and inflation in general, might remain elevated for much longer than expected. The chart above is a monthly chart of Brent Crude Oil adjusted in price by the Japanese Yen. In the chart, we see what appears to be a double top. However, unlike during the Great Recession, in the current situation, the price of crude oil has fallen much less quickly after peaking. Compare the two charts below. When priced in Japanese Yen, crude oil is 80% higher today than where it was after peaking in 2008 (the red ghost bars below show the 2008 price action). In other words, crude oil prices have declined much slower after their current peak than after their peak in 2008. Ominously, a bull pennant appears on the monthly chart. Although I do not have Fibonacci levels applied to this chart, the bull pennant structure is a perfect golden ratio retracement. Such a perfect bull pennant pattern could suggest that crude oil prices (adjusted in Japanese Yen) may break above resistance and continue higher, rather than decline at all. Why might this be happening? The Bank of Japan continues to maintain negative interest rates. Negative interest rates is just an obfuscated way of saying it continues to produce more and more money. Negative interest rates result in limitless money being produced through credit. Negative interest rates therefore cause money to become less and less scarce over time. Less scarcity of money always ultimately results in inflation. This continued monetary easing in turn weakens the Yen relative to currencies of countries with higher interest rates, especially the rapidly strengthening U.S. dollar. Since Japan is too highly indebted to hike interest rates at all, let alone at the pace that the U.S. Federal Reserve is hiking rates, Japan is facing a crisis whereby the value of its currency is rapidly weakening. Instead of hiking interest rates to mitigate its weakening currency, the Bank of Japan has chosen to sell U.S. Treasuries to increase its supply of dollars, and to buy Yen with those dollars. While this action may help Japan avert an energy shortage by providing the U.S. dollars needed to ensure a steady flow of crude oil, by increasing its supply of U.S. dollars, Japan also perpetuates commodity inflation. More supply of U.S. dollars keeps crude oil, which is priced in U.S. dollars, higher for longer. The more U.S. Treasuries Japan sells, the more U.S. dollars it will have to continue paying high crude oil prices, which in turn keeps inflation higher for longer, which in turn causes the U.S. Federal Reserve to hike rates more for even longer to bring commodity inflation down. Since the Bank of Japan is unable to hike rates the Yen in turn slides further. This negative feedback loop can spiral into a monetary and economic crisis if unabated. How bad could the situation get? To find the answer to this question, we can examine the yearly chart for Brent Crude Oil. Below is the yearly chart. Notice that the Stochastic RSI is indicating that Brent Crude Oil prices have strong upward momentum on the yearly chart. When oscillators push strongly higher on the yearly timeframe, this can lead to a prolonged period of sustained higher prices. The best way to hypothesize a potential peak is to use Fibonacci extensions on the yearly chart. If commodity inflation persists, then price may undergo Fibonacci extension on the yearly chart. This process will be slow and insidious with periods of commodity prices coming down as they retrace on lower timeframes, such that bull rallies trap unsuspecting market participants who believe that the era of limitless monetary easing will soon return. Monetary easing cannot return or else the commodity inflation spiral worsens. Indeed, spiraling inflation puts central banks in a Catch-22 whereby any action they can take results in economic decline. Only time will tell how this Catch-22 will end, but I will leave you with one final chart, shown below. This chart shows a regression channel that measures how far above or below its mean crude oil is currently priced when compared to its entire 160-year price history. What's alarming is that despite the rapid rise in crude oil prices, we are merely just now reach the mean (red line). If history repeats itself, price could double, triple or more from current levels in the years to come...

USOIL - An attempt to support the price failsOn 17th August 2022, we warned that the oil market might be positioning itself for a downtrend correction. Accordingly, we said we would pay close attention to the sloping resistance and a potential breakout above it. Then, a few days later, the breakout occurred, and the price of USOIL spiked to 97.65 USD. Meanwhile, we abandoned our bearish price targets due to the OPEC considering production cuts. However, we also stated that the retracement (below the sloping resistance) could be utilized as short position re-entry. Finally, after the OPEC announcement, we said the production cut would have a minimal impact on the market. So today, we would like to update price targets for USOIL. Our new short-term price target is 80 USD, and our long-term price target is 70 USD. Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the daily chart of USOIL. It also depicts the bullish breakout above the sloping support/resistance and subsequent bearish retracement. Technical analysis - daily time frame RSI, Stochastic, and MACD are bearish. DM+ and DM- are bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows simple support and resistance levels for USOIL. The yellow arrow indicates the most recent bearish breakout. Technical analysis - weekly time frame RSI, Stochastic, and MACD are bearish. DM+ and DM- are bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish. Please feel free to express your ideas and thoughts in the comment section.

Visualising victory for Ukraine and the oil pricesBack in February, when Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine, a victory for Kyiv would have been almost impossible to imagine. It's the classic David and Goliath. Recent developments on the battlefront, however, are starting to paint a different picture, showing the possibility of Ukraine ending the conflict with a win. On paper, the war is just between Ukraine and Russia. Its implications, on the other hand, knew no bounds and it demanded to be felt across the globe bringing about economic uncertainties and causing supply chain disruptions. While it did not start the energy crisis, the invasion surely made the situation worse. Nearly seven months into the war, people are hoping it will be over soon. Along with these hopes is the dream that the underdog (and innocent party) will claim the victory. Win for Ukraine Earlier in September, Ukrainian forces managed to recapture swaths of lands in the country's northeast that a few months earlier have been taken over by Russia. Considering this and the possibility that China's tacit support for Russia could be waning, it seems like momentum is on the side of Ukraine. If that indeed happens, it could mean good things not just for Ukraine but probably for the rest of Europe. Orysia Lutsevych, in an opinion piece for The Guardian, wrote that a victory for Ukraine is vital for Europe to be able to live in peace and work collectively to meet global challenges. Considering the support that a majority of the remainder of Europe and countries in other parts of the world have thrown behind Ukraine, defeat would further entice Russia to flout international law and the sovereignty of other nations. "The restoration of Ukrainian territorial integrity and, ultimately, peace will mean the collapse of Putinism as a doctrine and an end to Russian claims to territorial dominance elsewhere in eastern Europe and Central Asia," Lutsevych added. On the other hand, a victory for Russia would validate the country's aggressiveness and fuel its desire to further expand its territory. Russia uses newly conquered territories to stage further conflicts and a Ukraine victory would prevent that from happening. Aside from preventing future wars, a victory for Ukraine is also expected to reduce the risk of a mass famine and even restore the stability of economies that have been affected by the sanctions imposed on Russia for instigating the conflict. What happens to oil when Ukraine wins the war? When the war started, the price of oil surged past the $130 per barrel mark for the first time since 2008. The Brent benchmark neared the record high of $147 in March exacerbated by the conflict. Almost seven months into the war, the prices of oil somehow stabilized and is now at ~$90 per barrel for Brent crude as concerns about weaker economic growth and demand drag prices down. European countries have also been forced to impose price caps on electricity and oil and come up with new taxes for energy companies in order to support their people amid the ongoing energy crisis in the region. Many countries have also started finding alternative energy sources to compensate for the supply cut off from Russia. Russia has been using the energy crisis as another ploy in its grand battle scheme. Earlier in September, Vladimir Putin said: "We will not supply anything at all if it is contrary to our interests. No gas, no oil, no coal, no fuel oil, nothing." The potential impacts to the energy market of a Ukraine victory would depend on how Russia will take its defeat. Will it be a gracious loser and choose to capitalize on rebuilding bridges with countries that have been beneficiaries of its supply or a petty loser that will continue to lock in supply for it to use and to sell to select buyers who are probably allies and supporters?
