USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detail

Updated
A record number of new coronavirus cases in China (the world's highest importer of crude oil) coupled with the inability of the EU to agree on a price cap for Russian oil Crude prices resulted in a plunge in price as the price fell for a third straight week. From a technical standpoint, it is obvious that price action has been caught within a channel ($93.50 and $87.00) in the last couple of months to emphasize the indecision in the market. However, it is worth noting that the lower timeframes reveal that price action has continued to find lower lows and lower highs in the last 3 weeks to signal a possible bearish continuation in the new week but we can not ignore the possibility of a breakout of the bearish trendline to incite a reversal structure.

The week has started on a bearish note as price action continued to the downside. For those who kept the sell position over the weekend, secure the position. However, we shall continue to monitor price action in the next couple of hours to lookout for trading opportunities.

So, since testing the $74 level 9 hours ago, trading activity has been caught within a channel ($74/74.50). The current structure might likely transition to a trend continuation pattern in the form of a bearish rectangle... Patience is required here as a breakout or breakdown of this channel might signal where the price is heading.

This was discussed at length during our live session today (video uploaded on youtub); Following the continued buying pressure above the $74 level in the last couple of hours, another opportunity to buy is expected at the breakout/retest of the resistance level of the channel at the $74.50 area. Secure position as we keep the option of a selling momentum below the $74 level open.

QUICK UPDATE
We are at a critical zone now where both trendlines share a confluence. So, the new structure around the $78.50 level shall be a yardstick for trading activities today as either a breakdown or breakout should signal where the price will be going today.

Selling pressure resumed at the $79.50 level in the last couple of hours. At this juncture, we want to be on standby to take advantage of this opportunity below the $78.50 level. However, if the price breaks above the structure at the $79.50 level then a bullish continuation could be registered.
