#202435 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
wti crude oil: Bears answered last weeks question on Monday but bulls kept the market two sided and bears gave up at the double bottom below 72. Bulls are creating decent bull bars again and last time they did this we went above 78. Above 75 odds favor the bulls for more upside to at least 77 but we are still low enough for bears to come around and test 72 again. Leaning bullish if market stays above 74.
Quote from last week:
comment : Bull and bear legs alike get shorter, market is contracting further. Triangle is valid since 2022. We are in the last weeks of it. If we get a huge event where we see Oil prices skyrocketing over the next 3-4 months, you read it here first. Play the range is the name of the game.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 70-80
bull case: Bulls printed a nice double bottom around 71 and are on their way up again. They want at least 77.5 and test the minor bear trend line starting from 2024-07-18. The last two reversal from prices below 72 both went without any pullback on the daily chart so I expect this one to just go up as well. No side is currently fighting the other too much.
Invalidation is below 75.
bear case: Bears got their early move below 74 and just went for 72 again. No bigger fight for 72 so bulls are doing the reversal again. There is a low chance that bears come around and want to keep it below the daily ema at 75 but i doubt it. If they do, best they can hope for is a test of 71.5 again. Above 75.1 I expect an easy and fast trade up to at least 77.
Invalidation is above 75.1.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral. Again. What can you do.
→ Last Sunday we traded 75.54 and now we are at 74.83. Low of the week was 71.47 and my target was 71/72. Hope you made some.
short term: Bullish above 75.1, bearish below 74 for retest of 72 or lower.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 70 and 80. No more updates until market makes higher highs or lower lows again.
current swing trade: None
chart update: None

WTI - Short Trade IdeaThis is a short trade idea that fades the recent expansion upwards.
I did an analysis all the way from the yearly timeframe down to the daily, and all arrows still point lower. WTI came into a yearly BISI, which is generally a big deal, but I have a feeling (also based on analysis) that we will come lower into a 6-month BISI and take out the ascending SSL below. The inefficiencies on the daily timeframes are also indicating a move lower. However, caution will be expressed in observing the creation of bullish PD Arrays on the way to my short POI.
If price continues up from my short POI and closes candles above on the daily, then we may be looking at higher prices first. USDCAD, which is negatively correlated with WTI to a high degree, has some a large double top on the higher timeframe overview. This would coincide with a move lower on WTI. That being said as a USD pair, how much of a recovery can we expect on the US Dollar is this happens?

Copper & Oil : Are commodities about to surge? Copper is showing great pattern consolidation.
it appears to be putting in a daily bull flag pattern that looks poised to breakout.
If copper follows some of the other recent price action in the commodity space it makes it even more likely to surge.,
You're seeing #gold #uranium #oil and other all performing well.
Will this dampen and slow down the dis inflation expectations? Perhaps.
I am long SCCO with members and have already secured some profits today with members.
I do think there is more strength to come in copper.
WTI Oil H1 | Rising into pullback resistanceWTI oil (USOIL) is rising towards a pullback resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 73.66 which is a pullback resistance that aligns with the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 74.55 which is a level that sits above an overlap resistance.
Take profit is at 71.52 which is a pullback support.

Crude oil approaches bullish reversal zoneWeak Chinese demand and hopes for a Middle East peace deal on the downside, OPEC+ production cuts and geopolitical tensions on the topside. It’s amazing how the same narratives get rolled out depending on where the WTI crude price sits within its 2024 range, often reaching their crescendo just before the price turns. I wonder whether we’re about to see the same outcome again.
WTI has fallen heavily over the past week, apparently on hopes for a peace deal in Gaza. That may be reason, and I hope it happens from a humanitarian perspective, but I’ve been around long enough to know narratives are often designed to fit with the prevailing price action. All I know is that the last two occasions WTI has dipped to $72.50 per barrel it’s coincided with a near-term bottom. Sitting at $73.11, the price is not far away again.
I would be reluctant to buy preemptively, but should the price bounce from $72.50, it would make for a decent long setup, allowing for a stop to be placed beneath the February low of $71.44 for protection. Minor levels at $74.60 and $76.94 are two potential targets, $80.30 another considering how much work the price did either side earlier in the year.

Oil Prices Slip as Gaza Talks and China Worries WeighOil prices edged lower at the start of the week, as traders weighed the potential impact of ongoing Middle East tensions and softening demand from China. Brent crude, the global benchmark, dipped towards $79 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) hovered around $76.
The recent decline follows a turbulent week for oil markets, marked by significant volatility. Prices had shed nearly 2% on Friday as investors grappled with concerns over China's economic recovery and the potential implications for global oil demand. The world's second-largest economy has shown signs of weakness, with data indicating a slowdown in industrial activity and consumer spending. This has raised doubts about China's ability to drive oil consumption growth.
Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip continues to cast a shadow over the energy market. While diplomatic efforts to broker a ceasefire have intensified, the situation remains volatile, and the potential for disruptions to oil supplies in the region cannot be ruled out. The geopolitical risk premium, which has supported oil prices in recent months, could diminish if a ceasefire is achieved.
Analysts caution that the oil market is likely to remain volatile in the near term, as traders navigate a complex interplay of factors. On one hand, the potential for supply disruptions due to geopolitical tensions could underpin prices. On the other hand, weakening global economic growth and efforts to transition to cleaner energy sources could exert downward pressure.
Looking ahead, investors will be closely monitoring developments in the Middle East, as well as economic indicators from China and other major economies. Any escalation of the conflict or further signs of weakness in the Chinese economy could lead to renewed volatility in the oil market.
Ultimately, the price of oil will depend on the balance between supply and demand. While the market has experienced periods of tightness in recent months, concerns about slowing demand growth may start to weigh on prices if they materialize.
2024-08-19 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Bear channel continued down and next target is probably 72 if 73.5 won’t hold. Pure weakness in this market.
quote from my weekly update:
bear case: Bears need a daily close below 74.5 to trade back down to 71/72.
comment: Look at that beauty of a channel. Holding like a true champ. Market is much weaker than expected and only going down. Bottom of the channel is where a pullback is expected and if bears are strong, they keep it below 74.5. Next targets for the bears are 73 and then 72. Anything above 75.5 would be a big surprise.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 72 - 75.5
bull case: Bulls are so weak that they currently can only correct sideways. They need to create a pullback at 73.4 or risk a breakout below the bear channel, where the selling would accelerate. A reasonable target for a pullback would be the breakout retest of last weeks low 74.52.
Invalidation is below 73.1.
bear case: Bears had a strong bear day again and a measured move would bring us to 71.5. If they manage to create a breakout below the bear channel, we could get there much faster than most expect. My drawn big bullish trend line from the triangle runs through 71.7, so close enough. Bears need to keep any pullback below 75, better would be below 74.5.
Invalidation is above 75.5.
short term: Pullback to at least 74.5 is expected but below 73.1 we print 72 or even 71 pretty fast.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82/84. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. We are at the bear trend line and odds favor the bears if they stay below 86.27 for trading back down below 76 again. Update: If we break below 70.67, the triangle is dead and we need to find new support. Will update this again when it happens.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Mostly sideways during Globex and EU session. US session opened weak and when bulls could not get above 75.5 again, bears tried again and bulls just gave up. Had to be short since the bear bar breaking below 75 and the 1h 20ema.
WTI OIL - 4H Bullish AgainBLACKBULL:WTI has shown signs of completing its recent correction phase, setting the stage for a potential bullish move. Technically, after a strong upward surge driven by bullish momentum, TVC:USOIL entered a two-leg correction that appears to have found support. This could suggest that the price is ready to continue its upward trajectory from the current support zone.
Fundamentally, oil prices have been supported by several factors over the past week. Ongoing supply cuts from OPEC+, especially from Saudi Arabia, have tightened the global oil market. Additionally, expectations of increased demand, fueled by economic resilience in key markets like the US and China, have contributed to upward pressure on prices. These combined factors could further bolster WTI’s next move to the upside.
WTI Oil H4 | Potential bullish bounceWTI oil (USOIL) is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 76.01 which is a pullback support that aligns with the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 74.40 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
Take profit is at 78.34 which is a pullback resistance that aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.

WTI has a lot of technical pressureTVC:USOIL weakened in early trading in Asian markets on Monday (August 19), fluctuating near its lowest level in more than a week. Currently WTI crude oil is trading around 75 USD/barrel.
That added to traders' concerns about falling demand in the Asian giant, where refiners cut crude processing capacity last month amid sluggish fuel demand.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) last week lowered its forecast for oil demand growth this year due to weakness in the Asian giant's economy. The Paris-based International Energy Agency (IEA) last Tuesday lowered its oil demand growth forecast for 2025, citing weak demand from major countries in Asia.
On the other hand, according to the Lebanese National News Agency, the Israel Defense Forces carried out airstrikes on the 18th.
Lebanon's Hezbollah armed forces claimed to have attacked multiple targets in southern Lebanon, including Israeli military spy facilities.
On the 18th, the Israeli army launched multiple attacks on several towns on the Lebanese side of the temporary border between Lebanon and Israel.
Market sentiment this week will be determined by speeches from global central bankers at the Jackson Hole Economic Symposium.
The Jackson Hole Economic Symposium will be held from August 22 to 24 and Fed Chairman Powell will speak on the economic outlook on Friday as US inflation weakens but remains difficult and markets Weakened job market. Easing is imminent, but is unlikely to confirm continued expectations of significant interest rate cuts.
On the daily chart, WTI USOIL moved narrowly after falling below the price channel and structurally it has not yet formed a specific trend.
But technical factors are leaning more towards the possibility of price decline with the nearest resistance being noticed at the confluence area of the 0.382% Fibonacci retracement and EMA21.
As long as WTI crude oil cannot break and move above the 0.50% Fibonacci level, it does not have enough conditions for bullish expectations.
Meanwhile, once WTI crude oil continues to be sold below the 0.236% Fibonacci level and returns to the price channel, it will open a new technical down cycle. The notable point is that the Relative Strength Index is pointing down from the 50 level but has not yet reached the oversold level, showing that there is still room for technical price declines ahead.
During the day, the technical outlook for WTI crude oil leans towards a downside with notable levels listed as follows.
Support: 75.71USD
Resistance: 76.59 – 77.58USD

WTI OIL Short-term pullback possible but doesnt change the trendLast week (August 06, see chart below), we made a strong bullish case on WTI Crude Oil (USOIL) and why on the 1M time-frame, the long-term target is $110.00, a symmetric approach on the 10-year Super Cycles:
Today we shift back to the shorter term 1D time-frame, as the price went from $73.00 to $80.00 within a week, and we are looking for potential pull-backs. Short-term corrections on medium-term Channel Ups have been common in the past 1.5 year and are displayed by the red ellipse patterns.
Yesterday's rejection took place on the 1D MA100 (green trend-line), which is something that also took place on January 29 2024. Assuming that a new Channel Up will emerge, we expect it to reach at least the 1.5 Fibonacci extension at $91.50, similar to the April 05 2024 High.
There are numerous Resistance levels involved this time however, with the strongest being the Lower Highs trend-line that started after the September 28 2023 High. As a result caution is advised once the price approaches that level.

WTI: Knock, knock…WTI recently rejected the lower edge of the turquoise Target Zone between $79.67 and $85.86. We expect a further advance into this range before the high of turquoise wave B can be established. The price should then turn around and sell off with the last leg of the green wave (2) into our same-colored Target Zone between $49.85 and $27.93.

Buy entry is at 78.66 which is a pullback support.
Stop loss is at 77.90 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support.

2024-08-13 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Oil - Bears showed signs of life, rejecting 80 with decent selling. Still an inside bar to Monday and bulls bought it at the bull trend line. Below 78 bears start hoping again, but it’s more reasonable to expect more upside. At the very least a retest of 80 and if bears are strong, they try to keep that resistance.
comment: Expected pullback by the bears and bulls bought the bull trend line. Everything in order so far, retest of 80 is expected. If bulls are strong, we will break above for 81 or 82. Below 77.6 bears could get hopeful and again but I doubt it. Daily ema is at 77.2, so that would be their first target.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle)
key levels: 77 - 82
bull case: Bulls tried twice at 80.15 and then mostly stepped aside after bears increased the selling pressure on bar 37/38. They bought the bull trend line and want a retest of 80 from here. If they fail to keep it above the bull trend line and 77.6, they risk that 80 was a lower high and bears might try to sell down to 72 again. Since Monday was so strong, more upside is the higher probability outcome over the next days.
Invalidation is below 78.6.
bear case: Bears generated decent selling pressure and retest the bull trend line. I don’t think they want to fight hard for 79 and will try to keep it below 80 again. If they would manage to break below the bull trend line, their next target would be the daily ema at 77.2.
Invalidation is above 79.
short term: Bullish above 78.8 for retest of 80. Bearish below 77.6 for more downside.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82/84. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. We are at the bear trend line and odds favor the bears if they stay below 86.27 for trading back down below 76 again. Update: If we break below 70.67, the triangle is dead and we need to find new support. Will update this again when it happens.
current swing trade: None
trade of the day: Sell below bar 37. Can take most off at the double bottom bar 50 + 54 and exit runner once the market reached the bull trend line and refused to trade below it.
