WTI CRUDE OIL: Aggressive sellingWTI Crude Oil is on a strong selloff that was accurately anticipated by our firm on the 1D MA200 rejection, making a LH on the long term Channel Down and providing us with the most optimal sell entry. The 4H technicals are oversold but the 1D remains on standard bearish price action (RSI = 42.644, MACD = 0.240, ADX = 42.786) and we don't expect this selling to take a pause before the 1D RSI tests the S1 (39.50).
Our short term target has always been 74.00 and after a short lived rebound we expect 72.00. Unless 1D closes a candle above the 1D MA50, in which case a bigger rebound is possible to 80.00 before an even deeper fall to 66.00.

Holding it will retest the 1day MA200.
If it breaks along with the 1day MA50, target the Rising Support at 70.00.

WTI OIL Filling the downside gap but short-term rebound.The WTI Oil (USOIL) got, as we expected, heavily rejected on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), starting to fill the gap of March:
Our next target is 74.00, just above the Pivot Zone, but on the short-term, with the 4H RSI rebounding after getting oversold (has given a 100% buy signal short-term in the past 4 months), we expect a rise towards the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) for rejection.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Forming a Head and ShouldersWTI Crude Oil is in the process of forming the Right Shoulder part of the Head and Shoulders pattern on a neutral 4H technical outlook (RSI = 48.188, MACD = 0.000, ADX = 33.202). A long as the price keeps getting rejected on the 4H MA50, the trend remains bearish but it will be confirmed if the price crosses under the HL trendline (sell trigger). If that happens, we will target the middle of the S1 Zone (TP = 73.00), which is where the 4 prior H&S patterns aimed at.
Note that for more than 1 year, the Head and Shoulders pattern has always been the market peak and started strong declines.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Major 1D MA200 test after 7 months.WTI Crude Oil is about to hit the 1D MA200 on nearly overbought 1D technicals (RSI = 68.113, MACD = 1.880, ADX = 54.309) for the first time in 7.5 months (August 30th). This is a critical technical junction as 83.50 is also the top of the R1 Zone and the High of December 1st.
With the RSI also approaching the HH trendline, we are going short on WTI and target first the 0.618 Fibonacci level (TP = 72.00). The downtrend can be deeper but this needs to be confirmed. The current bearish signal will get confirmed once the price crosses under the 4H MA50, which has been supporting for 3 weeks.

WTI CRUDE OIL Top formation like all others since DecemberWTI Crude Oil is forming a Top pattern, which is similar to all peaks since December.
The RSI (4h) crossed below the Rising Support, which is the first sell signal on peak formations.
Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price.
Targets:
1. 74.00 (top of the Symmetric Support Zone).
Tips:
1. Four out of five previous Tops formed around a Golden Cross (4h) pattern. Such was formed 2 days ago.

This is a continuation of this trading plan:
WTI CRUDE OIL: Best Sell inside the 4 month Resistance ZoneWTI Crude Oil reached the R1 Zone following OPEC, while getting very close to the top of the multimonth Channel Down. The technicals on the 4H time frame got overbought but have dropped below the barrier since (RSI = 68.376, MACD = 20.40, ADX = 40.224) indicating the first signs of sell bias.
The Sell trigger perhaps can be given when the RSI crosses under the HL trend line. The previous crosses over the LH trend lines, were trend reversals. Also we just formed a 4H Golden Cross and for the past year, that formation has emerged near market peaks.
As a result we now turn bearish on WTI and target the 0.786 Fibonacci (TP = 69.00).

WTI CRUDE OIL Best sell position inside this 8 month patternWTI Crude Oil is approaching Resistance (1) at 83.50 after OPEC cuts.
The MA200 (1d) is almost there at 83.97 and has been untouched since August 30th.
The pattern is a Channel Up and its top is only a little over Resistance (1).
Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price as the above three levels form the strongest Resistance Zone possible.
Targets:
1. 67.00 initially (Support 1).
Tips:
1. RSI (1d) is under a Rising Support. It is not quite there yet but the very first sign of sideways trading would be an indication of forming a top.

Notes:
This is a continuation of this trading plan:
WTI OIL Near a long-term ResistanceWTI Oil (USOIL) hit our medium-term target last week but following OPEC's cuts, it opened with a big gap up on Monday:
In order to more effectively understand the market dynamics after this move, it is best to view Oil on the 1W time-frame where we see all key characteristics of this move. First the rebound 2 weeks ago started after the price tested the 1W MA200 (orange trend-line) for the first time since February 01 2021. The price closed back above it and the rebound landed us to where we are now.
This is just shy off Resistance Zone 1, which is holding since November 2022. This calls for the most optimal sell opportunity on a quarterly basis, targeting again the 1W MA200 and the 2 year Support Zone at 63.00.
However with the 1W RSI on Higher Lows i.e. a Bullish Divergence against the candles' Lower Lows, we have to consider the probability of a potential bullish break-out. Since the 1W MA50 was a long-term Support turned into Resistance that hasn't allowed a 1W candle close above its since November 2022, we are willing to buy only if we close above it. The target on that occasion will be 93.00 (Resistance 2).

Special Report: Celebrating 40 Years of Crude Oil FuturesNYMEX: WTI Crude Oil ( NYMEX:CL1! )
On March 30, 1983, New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX) launched futures contract on WTI crude oil. This marked the beginning of an era of energy futures.
WTI is now the most liquid commodity futures contract in the world. It’s 1.7 million daily volume is equivalent to 1.7 billion barrels of crude oil and $125 billion in notional value. For comparison, global oil production was 89.9 million barrels per day in 2021.
Looking back at 1983, exactly 40 years ago:
• NYMEX was primarily a marketplace for agricultural commodities, with Maine Potato Futures being its biggest contract;
• NYMEX was a small Exchange with 816 members, mainly local traders and brokers;
• Known as Black Gold, crude oil was a strategic commodity regulated by governments and monopolized by the Big Oil, the so-called “Seven Sisters”;
• Pricing of crude oil was not a function of free market but controlled by the Organization of Petroleum Export Countries (OPEC), an oil cartel.
The birth of crude oil futures contract was a remarkable story of financial innovation and great vision. Facing a “Mission Impossible”, NYMEX successfully pulled it off. At the helm of the century-old Exchange was Michel Marks, its 33-year-old Chairman, and John E. Treat, the 37-year-old NYMEX President.
The “Accidental Chairman”
Michel Marks came from a long-time NYMEX member family. His father, Francis Q. Marks, was a trading pit icon and influential member. Since high school, the younger Marks worked as a runner on the trading pit for his family business. After receiving an Economics degree from Princeton University, Michel Marks returned to NYMEX as a full-time member, trading platinum and potatoes.
In 1977, the entire NYMEX board of directors resigned, taking responsibility for the Potato Futures default from the prior year. Michel Marks was elected Vice Chairman of the new Board. He was 27 years old.
One year later, the Chairman at the time suffered a stroke. Michel Marks replaced him as the new NYMEX Chairman. At 28, he’s the youngest leader of any Exchange in the 175-year history of modern futures industry.
White House Energy Advisor
John E. Treat served in the US Navy in the Middle East and later worked as an international affairs consultant in the region. He received an Economics degree in Princeton and a master’s degree in international relations from John Hopkins.
During the Carter Administration (1977-1981), Treat worked at the US Department of Energy. He served as Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Affairs and sat on the National Security Council and the Federal Energy Administration. In his capacity, Treat was at the center of the formation of US energy policy.
After President Carter lost his reelection bid, Treat left Washington in 1981. At the time, NYMEX was exploring new contracts outside of agricultural commodities. One possible direction was the energy sector, where NYMEX previously listed a Heating Oil contract with little traction in the market. With his strong background, Treat was recruited by NYMEX as a senior vice president.
A year later, after then President Richard Leone resigned, Treat was nominated by Chairman Marks to become NYMEX President. He was 36 years old.
The Birth of WTI Crude Oil Futures
In 1979, the Islamic Revolution in Iran overthrew the Pahlavi dynasty and established the Islamic Republic of Iran, led by Shiite spiritual leader Ayatollah Khomeini.
Shortly after, the Iran-Iraq War broke out. Daily production of crude oil fell sharply, and the price of crude oil rose from $14 to $35 per barrel. This event was known as the second oil crisis. It triggered a global economic recession, with U.S. GDP falling by 3 percent.
After President Reagan took office in 1981, he introduced a series of new policies, known as Reaganomics, to boost the U.S. economy. The four pillars that represent Reaganomics were reducing the growth of government spending, reducing federal income taxes and capital gains taxes, reducing government regulation, and tightening the money supply to reduce inflation.
In terms of energy policy, the Reagan administration relaxed government regulations on domestic oil and gas exploration and relaxed the price of natural gas.
NYMEX President John Treat sensed that the time was ripe for energy futures. He formed an Advisory Committee to conduct a feasibility study on the listing of crude oil futures. His strategic initiative received the backing of Chairman Michel Marks, who in turn gathered the support of the full NYMEX membership.
Arnold Safir, an economist on the advisory board, led the contract design of WTI crude oil futures. The underlying commodity is West Texas Intermediate produced in Cushing, Oklahoma. The delivery location was chosen for the convenience of domestic oil refineries. WTI oil contains fewer impurities, which results in lower processing costs. US refineries prefer to use WTI over the heavier Gulf oil.
WTI trading code is CL, the abbreviation of Crude Light. Contract size is 1,000 barrels of crude oil. At $73/barrel, each contract is worth $73,000. Due to the profound impact of crude oil on world economy, NYMEX lists contracts covering a nine-year period.
On March 29, 1983, the CFTC approved NYMEX's application. The next day, WTI crude oil futures traded on the NYMEX floor for the first time.
Competing for the Pricing Power
Now that crude oil futures were listed. Initially, only NYMEX members and speculators were trading the contracts. All the oil industry giants sat on the sidelines.
John Treat knew that without their participation, the futures market could not have meaningful impact on the oil market, not to mention a pricing power over crude oil.
In early 1980s, the global oil market was monopolized by seven Western oil companies, known as the "Seven Sisters". Together, they control nearly one-third of global oil and gas production and more than one-third of oil and gas reserves.
1) Standard Oil of New Jersey, later became Exxon;
2) Standard Oil of New York, later became Mobil Oil Company; It merged with Exxon in 1998 to form ExxonMobil;
3) Standard Oil of California, later became Chevron; It took over Texaco in 2001, and the combined company is still named Chevron;
4) Texaco, collapsed in 2001 and was taken over by Chevron;
5) Gulf Oil, which was acquired by Chevron in 1984;
6) British Persian Oil Company, operating in Iran, withdrew after the Iranian Revolution and then fully operated the North Sea oil fields, later British Petroleum ("BP");
7) Shell, an Anglo-Dutch joint venture.
Treat's background as President Carter's energy adviser played a key role. After nearly a year of hard work, the first Big Oil entered the NYMEX crude oil trading floor. However, it was not until five years later that all Seven Sisters became NYMEX members.
OPEC producers tried to boycott the crude oil futures market. However, as trading volume grew, they eventually gave in, first by Venezuela and then the oil producers in the Middle East.
Interestingly, the Middle Eastern oil producers started out by trading COMEX gold futures, probably as a hedge against oil prices. Gold has been a significant part in the Middle Eastern culture for long. As the main buyers of gold, the Arabs buy more gold when their pockets are filled with rising oil prices, and conversely, they sell gold when oil revenues fall and their ability to buy gold decreases.
With the participation of Big Oil and OPEC, coupled with an active crude oil options market, crude oil pricing power has shifted from the Middle East to NYMEX's trading floor by the end of the 1980s. WTI has also become a globally recognized benchmark for crude oil prices.
Happy Trading.

CRUDE OIL, is it a chance to take a long position ?after the last move in the previous days, there is a good chance to take a long position to the next levels at range of ($80) as a long term trading opportunity.
However, in case that the prices did not hold on in the next weeks and fallen to the average of ( 67.5) it could be a fake double bottom, and we will see that the WTI will start to move in a side way.
according to the last OBEC plus meeting, there is no chance to be a new change in the production of the OIL in future, as they will keep the production as it is as the last meeting.
WTI CRUDE OIL Those are the conditions for a sell.WTI Crude Oil is trading inside a 7 month Channel Down. The current rise is targeting the 1day MA50 - MA100 Resistance Zone.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Found Support on the 1W MA200.WTI Crude Oil has been on a long term downtrend since March 2022 and the heights of the Russian/Ukraine war. The 1W time frame technically turned bearish (RSI = 39.105, MACD = -5.090, ADX = 26.852) but the price just entered the S1 Zone, while making contact with the 1W MA200 for the first time since February 2021.
This is a heavy Support Zone and the fact that last week's candle closed over the 1W MA200, amplifies it. Target a little under the 1D MA50 (TP = 75.00).

WTI: Projection for long ( falling Wedge )Based on my analysis, the WTI projecting for long as it is creating a falling wedge. This suggests that there is potential for a price increase in the near future. However, it is essential to note that the market can be volatile and subject to sudden shifts in sentiment, which could impact the outlook for WTI. Therefore, it is recommended that investors conduct their own research and due diligence before making any investment decisions
