Crude-oil
Crude Oil Intra-day Correction; More Upside In ViewCrude oil made a perfect drop lower, which we now see it as wave c of a three-wave decline. Ideally this three-wave decline will now come to an end and a new turn up will be seen around the former swing low at 50.35 level and near the Fibonacci ratio of 100.0, where measurement of equality of waves a and c comes in play.

Oil Likely to Charge Straight AheadPublishing this ahead of the Oil report as there won't be any more good opportunities to go long after it, unless we get a dip and you have fast hands. While many thesis claim that we are still in a bear trend, we believe that we have completed a bear cycle and are now ready to make a bull cycle. If today's inventory report reports a draw (which we expect) then it should give reason for price to move back up. A weaker dollar has also been supporting oil prices as of lately.
Seasonality gets really bullish starting this week and we don't expect this pattern to change this time around. ADX still shows a bullish trend and we have been flirting with the channel for an entire week, all selling pressure has been soaked up and we are in a bullish pennant.
Stay safe everyone and stay tuned for more updates.
Our stop losses are at 48.30. If you understand the risk and agree, pull the trigger.
Final push down in Oil is on the waySummer across the board, making all kinds of fake moves possible. Oil is not an exception, having hard times deciding what to do next. Time to focus on a big picture.
It looks like on Tuesday, August 1st folks were reestablishing their short positions, which were closed at the end of the month, the day before. Hopefully it was a "technical" move and we will continue a bit higher to 200 Daily MA @ 51.5x December 2017 contract.
Overall USOIL appears to be 2-3 days close to start off a final 5th ABC wave of the Expanding Diagonal (5)th of a major C from 2011.
51.2 - 51.5 comes out to be an area of strong confluence, where 200 DMA and trendline sit alongside some harmonics.
In case the price will travel above 51.2 - 51.5, 52.6x will become another potential reversal zone. Where 0.618 retracement of wave 1 to 3, 0.786 retracement of wave 3 and end of wave B of 3 converge.
Stops should be placed above this area, @ 52.6x. Still the set-up will be violated only above $55 handle.
It is pretty common for wave 5 to be truncated following extended 3rd. So my primary target will be $38 per bbl December contract - January 2016 low. More clear targets would be set while the ABC pattern unfolds.
p.s. CAD heavily overbought and diverging.
Trade safe, control your risk.
WTI Crude Oil - USOILI've singled out prior balance areas using Auction Market Theory, obviously they're not exact. I threw up a fib to give me an idea for a new balance area to develop. I'll wait until it's developed but i'll look for short positions as long as it's below #12 prior bal area low. If it hits invalidation area i'll wait until a more defined trend/area develops before deciding anything.
This is the first idea I've ever published so i'm not really sure how much i'll enjoy doing this.
Another bloody August for USOIL?Let's see whether we can catch a significant bottom in USOIL price for 3rd August in a row :)
I am looking for decline through the next 5-7 weeks due to the following brutal rejection at Weekly Pivot R1, which is also Daily EMA100.
Note RSI - although the new high of 47.71 is slightly above previous major high 47.29 on Jul 4, downtrending RSI makes me think buyers are walking away.
Target 1: 42.55
This is the area of current Monthly Pivot S1, and closely correlates to last "minor lows" June 2017, December 2016, Sep 2016
Target 2: 39.78
This is the area of current Monthly Pivot S2, and closely correlates to last two "major lows" on August 2016 and August 2015
Both areas are possible reversal zones, though S2 looks more likely at this time.
Watching out for:
- OPEC/Russia murmurings during last week of July (I don't believe any further cuts will be announced).
- Further big declines in USD
- Collapse of Venezuela and more Mad Max stories :) www.google.ca
