CYCLICAL ANALYSIS - Crude Oil to Go Up To Mid OctoberDISCLAIMER: This is not trading advice. This is for educational and entertainment purposes only to show how I view this market. Trading involves real risk. Do your own due diligence. My COT strategy has Crude Oil SETUP for longs if we get a TRIGGER (Confirmed bullish trend change). But what do cycles have to say about this long trade idea? Cycles suggest that we should see an up move in Crude Oil until Mid October/Early November. I look at many interesting things: -Using the DOW Arab Titans 50 index as a leading indicator of where Crude Oil may trade to. -The annual cycle of oil is strong and should not be ignored. It too is supportive of taking a long until mid October. -The Decennial cycle is supportive of a bounce in oil into mid October. -Major economic cycles & temporary trading cycles are also indicating an upmove could be imminent for oil. -Lastly, we see that the previous most similar year of price action (2019) suggests oil could move higher into October/November. TO BE CLEAR: This does not mean I am going long blindly, I wait for entry TRIGGER (18 MA, 10h8c MAC, Divergence). This market did already trigger via divergence last Wednesday via the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) divergence confirmation. If you have any questions about my cyclical analysis, feel free to shoot me a message. I hope you had a good start to your week. And as always... Good Luck & Good Trading.

CL WTI Crude Oil ShortMy weekly bias is for price to trade up to previous weeks highs, but Mondays price action has me leaning towards a pullback before we trade up mid/late week. Today's candle was quite bearish, so I am looking for price to trade down to Monday's lows, and possibly trade into the untapped lows from several daily candles formed last week. I want to see price trade into and respect a bearish premium array to trigger me to look for short entry on m5/m15.

Central Banks 101: Don't fight institutional financeCentral banks have considerable power in the foreign currency market. Central banks are primarily responsible for long-term inflation management while also contributing to the general stability of the financial system. When deemed appropriate, central banks will act in financial markets in accordance with the previously specified "Monetary Policy Framework." Forex traders hoping to profit from the consequent currency fluctuations closely watch and anticipate the policy's implementation. What Is the Function of a Central Bank? [/b Central banks are self-governing entities that help governments throughout the globe manage their commercial banking sectors, establish central bank interest rates, and ensure financial stability throughout the country's financial system. Central banks have an impact on financial markets in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, the following: The procedure by which governments purchase and sell government securities (bonds) on the open market in order to boost or reduce the quantity of money in the banking system is referred to as open market operations (OMO). In order to boost or depress economic activity, the monetary policy committee establishes the central bank rate, often known as the discount rate or the federal funds rate. While it may seem contradictory, an overheated economy leads to inflation, which central banks strive to keep at a controllable level. Responsibilities of the Central Bank Central banks were founded to serve the public interest and carry out a mission imposed by the government. While duties vary by country, the following are the primary tasks in each: Achieve and maintain price stability : Central banks are in charge of keeping their own currencies' exchange rates stable. This is accomplished by keeping inflation at a manageable level across the economy. Improving financial system stability: To reduce systemic risk in the financial sector, central banks subject commercial banks to stress testing. Adopt the following measures to promote an economy's balanced and long-term growth: Fiscal and monetary stimulus are the two most common approaches for a government to boost its economy. Two means for achieving this objective are fiscal policy (government expenditure) and monetary policy (interest rates) (central bank intervention). Central banks may use monetary policy to try to boost the economy by lowering interest rates when governments' budgetary resources are exhausted. Fourth , central banks are responsible for overseeing and regulating financial institutions for the good of the public. Lower unemployment: Central banks may be interested in lowering unemployment in addition to maintaining price stability and encouraging long-term growth. One of the purposes of the Federal Reserve System is to achieve this. Central banks also serve as lenders of last resort in a number of situations. A government with a low debt-to-GDP ratio that is unable to raise money via a bond auction may be able to borrow from the central bank to meet a short-term liquidity need. Investor trust in the financial system is boosted by the presence of a central bank that serves as a lender of last resort. Investors have greater trust in governments' capacity to pay their debt commitments as a result of decreased borrowing rates.

Crude Oil setup to rally to new highs - $USOIL $CL $CL_1 $XOMAside from Crypto, I've had the most success in the last decade trading crude based on a combination of technical analysis (classical charting) and trading the news (economic indicators, such as OPEC releases). Between March - June 2021, Crude oil prices formed a cup and handle that concluded with price reachings its target just above $75. Price then corrected, forming a triangle that turned into a bear trap as sellers sold the breakdown before price rallied back into the consolidation. From failed moves come fast moves. Over the last 6 weeks, price has formed an inverted H&S. Having occured after a downside break and failure, this is an immediate buy signal with fast upside price implications. Oil is a fun and scary market to trade because of the volatility and liquidity combined with leverage opportunities. Be safe, j

The Technicalities of Key Levels (Institutionalization)This was made for someone asking for the key-levels on GJ and where they are. I hope this shows how powerful waiting for rejections and consolidation around institutional prices can give us high probability trades. The goal is to analyze from top to bottom, gathering the price action data in order to tally up confluences. For stop placements, the 4-hour chart will be the lowest in which we find SL points above lower swing highs and below higher swing lows. Turning analysis into trades.. When performing analysis across the daily and weekly timeframes on a Sunday night for instance or analyzing the daily charts at the end of every trading day, the first important pieces of data to pick out are key level price points and candlestick formations. You’re looking for patterns, that might serve as clues for the next directional movement of any specified currency pair. Price action, moving averages and key levels are displayed on the longer-term charts and these are generally the most significant and strongest. It’s best to take note of these levels at the end of each trading day or morning and then plot them on the charts using the charting tools available in your trading software of choice. Keeping a notepad at hand helps to keep track of the organizational breakdown of your selected currency pairs. Beginning traders should start out with six or seven pairs, then strip each one down, labeling the bullish and bearish indicators for each one on every time frame, starting with the monthly and working your way down to the 2-hour chart. Timeframe rules are the basic building blocks of all other trading strategies, so it’s important to have a good understanding of them before moving on to more complex methods. Keep it simple, learn the rules, make notes and work with the price action that the market delivers through the charts. In this sense it can be helpful to remind yourself that trading is essentially a financial game between the bulls and bears – the optimists and pessimists in the market – both of whom have the same goal of earning a profit but who achieve it through different means. Key level placement Support and resistance levels are one of the most important technical factors in trading. “Key levels” are certain prices for a currency pair which may support the price below the current market level or a price which may resist above the current market level. Support acts as a floor and resistance acts as a ceiling, both of which are “barriers of price.” . For example, the chart above displays various support and resistance zones. These key levels are major support and resistance areas; they are strong price points which the pair has reacted to a number of times. Currencies tend to react to these specific price points with a surprising degree of consistency. The market can either bounce or break upon the approach of a key level. Many beginning traders struggle due to not drawing key levels onto their charts accurately. Support and resistance are the absolute foundations which hold the ground for various other price action applications. Once a support level has been broken and the bears take control, the price often (but not always) pops back up to that same level from underneath in order to “retest” it once more before a continuation to the downside, and vice versa. Your job as a trader is to pick as side in this battle between support and resistance forces – between bulls and bears. If you pick the right side, then you will make money; of course, you pick the wrong side you will lose it.

Update USOIL: $61.50 first, then $52Commodities are typically the last asset to peak during a cycle. We typically interest rates peak first, a couple of months later that followed by equities and a couple of months after equities we see commodities peak. Commodities such as crude oil, are part of the contraction phase in the cycle, the higher the price rises it begins to acts as a tax on consumers and that begins the early recession phase. For that reason, I have marked this rally in crude as a wave A of a bigger corrective pattern.

Update: View of Crude Oil remains, buying opportunity at $48.60Demand remains consistent at 1.5% YoY, the decline was caused entirely by supply-side shocks and record production. From the lows, late last year OPEC has talked up production cuts which would ultimately be the catalyst to rally higher. This is a bullish market, shorting counter-trend is risky so make sure you are managing the risk of the position BEFORE you place your trade. I won't be shorting Oil, but I will be a buyer at $48.60 provided all the planets continue to align.
