Last week, as data showed that the U.S. economy was gradually slowing down, U.S. stocks were mixed and bonds climbed, intensifying speculation that the Federal Reserve will end its interest rate hike. Crude oil prices continue to fall, internal and external oil prices are under pressure, short-term in the supply and demand side of no major sudden bearish situation, oil prices in the supply increase, demand prospects bleak double bearish impact continued to break the fall. Regardless of the technical factors to the oil price disturbance, it is expected that the next 4-6 weeks of oil prices will depend on the implementation rate of OPEC+ production cuts. If OPEC+ (especially Saudi Arabia) does not fulfill the production cut promised in early September, the oil price trading perspective is likely to return to the macro, the need for reference data, if OPEC+ (especially Saudi Arabia) in the November-December period to comply with the production cut, the oil price trading perspective will still return to supply demand, the data impact is only added.
Last Friday, as of the close of the morning, the settlement price of international crude oil futures closed sharply down more than 4%, which is also the largest one-day drop since nearly November, yesterday's low shock, a short rebound but the space is extremely limited, and the evening crude oil suddenly appeared a wave of sharp fall back, although in line with our short expectations, but below the 75-74 expected strong support band, The low fell to near 72 before stopping, or somewhat unexpected, although the rebound later turned over 73, but because of the extreme selling sentiment in the market, the daily line eventually closed a large negative line. However, from the perspective of the daily structure, now the crude oil is technically a downward trend, it is difficult to see the hope of reversing the rebound, 75-74 was directly broken, short-term panic, triggered the sell-off, but also the main reason for the decline in crude oil, after all, 75-74 is a dense area of early trading.
Crude oil technical analysis: crude oil last week five Yin line broke low to continue weak in line with expectations, the daily line after finishing back the previous double Yang line rebound space, with the daily line even Yin finishing momentum, the formation of a new low to 72.37 on Friday. The daily line continues to weaken, after breaking the low, the short-term will continue the unilateral weak move, and further release the low space. In the 4-hour chart step channel down, the previous rebound of 79.70 structural step high point was blocked and fell, and further extended to expand the downward space after breaking the low. A wave of Yin back withdrawal bias for weakness, intra-day rebound relying on yesterday's high point to do defense continue to look bearish, short term in the low volume may be accompanied by a step back correction, the overall downward trend, rebound short is the main idea. In summary, on Monday, it is suggested that the crude oil operation idea is mainly to step back low, supplemented by a rebound high, the short-term focus on 77.5-78.0 resistance above, and the short-term focus on 75.0-74.5 support below.
