#OIL #OOTT UpdateI think I just decoded the oil chart. I have been contemplating a rise to $90+ because I expected ABC flat where I now see WXY combination of zigzag, zigzag and triangle. The chart now perfectly aligns with Brent where wave [ B] did make lowest low presumably shaping a symmetrical triangle whereas WTI is working on a running triangle.
That means that we have only strong push left upwards from current low which should come either as a straight impulse or an expanding diagonal which will be extremely annoying.

#OIL #OOTT UpdateI probably sound desperate as I keep drawing lines into the sky. However, I am still convinced that we are in a first correction of a bull move that will run until the end of summer or something. The count has got simple and more aggressive now without stops until 80+. Ok, now you can call me a dreamer.

#Gasoil Update Gasoil Elliott Wave story is less controversial than Crude Oil story . The price rests on Moving Averages support and Gasoil crack appears to be on an upward trend too. This suggests that refinery margins are likely to improve.
In practice, this means that Gasoil prices are likely to grow faster than Oil prices, perhaps due to unsatisfied demand for diesel fuel.
What I also dislike a bit here is that wave (ii) seems a bit too complicated, being a combination of flat w, simple zigzag x and another simple zigzag y. I was taught that although possible such combinations are rare and shall be used only labeling in retrospective when no other alternatives fit. Now it is part of the ongoing trade and if I am proven wrong I will have to stricten my rules about this combination.
#Oil #OOTT UpdateWow oil has been very tough lately. Many times I jumped the gun with long calls. I am actually bearish into the end of 2023. The reason I am so stubborn to pick the local bottom is that my charts just do not make sense without this last big jump to 90-100 range that I expect any time soon.
The chart is a complete meat grinder. The price is actually trading under moving averages on many timeframes and sending me bearish technical signals. There are bearish candles and engulfings all over the chart. It is only the Elliott Wave count that keeps me bullish since I cannot see an alternative that could continue the downtrend.
However, I am running out of bullish counts as well. The leading diagonal is very risky bet without having it fully formed. However, besides Elliott Wave count there are emerging signs in support of bullish case. See the falling trendline that the price broke through and now retesting from above in a good bye kiss? Gasoil chart looks more pointed upwards trading above moving averages. And gasoil crack has made a bottom and is recovering (will post as an update to this chart).
USOIL UpdateAll right, seems like the oil is tightly following the scenario with a leading diagonal. So far, I see no alternative options at this moment other than wave can complicated further and make another dip. Once low is in the trendline 0- shall not be violated by (B) low in the next (A)(B)(C) zigzag.
WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil, 6/9/23For Friday, 72.37 can contain buying later next week, below which 68.34 remains a 3 - 5 day target able to contain selling over the same time horizon.
A daily settlement below 68.34 indicates 62.14 over the next 2 - 3 weeks, where the market can bottom out through summer activity.
Upside Friday, closing above 72.37 indicates 77.56 within 3 - 5 days, able to contain weekly buying pressures when tested and the point to settle above for then indicating 82.18 long-term resistance within 2 - 3 weeks.
#OIL UpdateWith this flash crash, presumably caused by US-Iran news about a possible swap of nuclear program for oil sanctions , we're back to the scenario where wave [ 2] is already complete and we're in a leading diagonal formation. The nefarious option of an expanding diagonal remains, but it is less likely.
Trading the range on WTI (CL1!)Oil prices are trading quite erratically on the daily chart, making it a much less appealing market to trade on that timeframe. But that doesn't mean we cannot find potential inflection points at the intraday level.
Monday's opening gap has been filled, and earlier losses on Tuesday were fully recouped to print a bullish pinbar on the daily chart which found support just above $70. We're not looking for a huge move, but we see the potential for prices to have another crack at the $73, and the 3-wave retracement towards $71 looks appealing for a swing trade long. Take note of the HVN (high volume node) around $72.64 which could act as a magnet should momentum eventually turn higher.
We're not sure the actual swing low is in yet, so we're looking for higher volumes accompanied by one or more bullish reversal candles on the hourly timeframe or lower, to hint at a swing low. And if it can form above or around the $71 support zone it could provide an adequate reward to risk ratio for a cheeky long.
