USOil | New perspective for the new year | Follow-up detail
Updated
The prices of US Oil witnessed an unstable swing in 2022; climbing on tight supplies amid the war in Ukraine, then rapidly sliding during the later part of the year on weaker demand from top importer - China and worries of an economic contraction, but closed the year on Friday with a second straight annual gain a little above the $80 (as against $75 in 2021). This video is an illustrative dissection of the chart from a technical standpoint where the $80 mark will serve as a guide for trading activities in the new year.

There was a typographical error in my last update - the previous structure is $75 and not $74.So, we are at a critical point now as the price could go either way from here. And with the anticipation of the FOMC releasing the minutes of the December policy meeting 30 minutes from now; there is a high chance that a huge spike might happen from this juncture, and we want to position ourselves in such a way that we catch the move. To make potential opportunities easy to join, we have connected the series of lower highs which has resulted in the new bearish trendline on the chart and this is what we shall be using to guide trading activities from now on. A breakout of the trendline and $74 level has a chance of inciting buying opportunities and if the price continues below this level, we look out for opportunities to add sell positions.

Price action appears to have broken out of the bearish trendline but we need to be patient for a breakout of the $74 level for buying opportunities.
