Crude
Range Trading Light Crude Oil-Crude oil is currently trading in a ranging market environment between 83.34 and 70.08 (larger range). Price is also in a smaller range between 82.66 and 72.46 (smaller range).
-From how I see the markets, the 10AM Feb 23 candle was a retest of a fair value gap before a move higher continues aiming between 79.73 and 81.50 price levels. I would like to see the fair value gap left open and not rebalanced completely.
-Bias: Bullish (within the ranges outlined only)
-Why? Some buyside liquidity will likely be rebalanced with a possible sweep to the upside to test the 83.00 level.
-Targets: 79.73-81.5, possibly up to 82.66 for a sweep.
CADCHF - waiting for the volatility explosion?CADCHF has been consolidating in a ever tighter range - but after such an extended period off sideways chop, are we ready for a more impulsive, momentum driven move?
We look at the fundamental variables that could see higher volatility and how crude also plays a key role
For now, traders will play mean reversion - but when the market reveals itself be dynamic and prepare to react.
WTI BULLISH OUTLOOKUS YoY CPI came above expectations yesterday, which led to expectations of further push of the prices. Although US Oil cushion reserve came above expectations, OPEC reported declined production of the month of January, and the expectations are for further increase of global demand for the crude oil.
On the 1H graph the price had broke the resistance of the Flag pattern, suggesting a start of a bullish movement, where, if continues, the price might test levels of 79.63
In the opposite scenario the price might fall to levels of 79.03
Both MACD and RSI indicators are confirming the bullish scenario.

CRUDE OIL (WTI) Mid Term Outlook
Current we can see Crude Oil's price action is in the middle of a consolidation correction.
After from the initial push down from the price, market begin to form a larger structure to correct the down move.
We can see now with a few swing highs and lows, a parallel channel like structure is being created.
However, it looks like theres a potenital short term move up first to the top of the structure, before the bigger down move can begin.
For now, its best to wait and see whether we can see a short term up move first, and if it does,
the bigger play is for the downside if the reveral bearish price action is confirmed on the lower time frame.

Oil grows bearish but SPR refill loomsDespite OPEC cutting its output by an estimated 60 000 barrels per day in January 2023, the price of West Texas Intermediate oil dropped more than 10% from its high of $82.60. This price action follows a series of wild swings within the wide range between $70 and $83. We expect high volatility in the oil market to persist in the first quarter of 2023. Indeed, we think there is a high likelihood of USOIL falling below $70. However, with the U.S. administration seeking to refill its SPR, such a price drop is likely to be short-lived. As conclusion, we think oil will remain stuck within the wide range for a while longer.

Technical analysis
Daily time frame = Bearish
Weekly time frame = Neutral/Slightly bearish
Illustration 1.02
The picture above shows the daily chart of USOIL and two simple moving averages. Yellow arrows indicate two technical developments which contradict each other. The first is a bullish crossover between 20-day and 50-day SMAs; the second is the subsequent price drop below these moving averages. These false and contradictory signals are common for moving averages when the price trends sideways.

USOUSD (Crude Oil) Daily: 06/02/2023: Does it fall more?
Main idea:
According to the weekly analysis, we expect a bear market.
In this case, there is a liquidity pool below 72.42 that can be defined as a first target. There is good support at 72.05, if the price can break this support, the price can fall to 67.5.
After collecting liquidity under 72.42, the price may have a short-term upward move. We can define 74.83- 75.7 as a supply zone that can push the price down.

Crude Oil Swing trading MCL / Crude Oil
I'm starting with monthly TF - Naked chart
Last months - On January - December can be seen that buyers push price higher and higer but still under $84
on $81,70-82,20 area, we have a support area that was resistence.
This area was touched 3 times, first time with an agresive rejection , second time, move some prices there but nothing wow but in the third touch..there was some move
We can see that it's possible to see a change of trend in this asset.
For stock market traders this is a great oportunity because there are a lot of undervalueated stocks.
Higher crude oil, higher prices for stocks but higher prices for everything
But for now, all we must to do is to wait to see if price move will confirm my analyse, I will wait to see if we have a breakout over 83, if we have, i m long in this !
Crude Oil at Various Support Levels As you can see Crude is currently positioned on a 4/5 year support level which was first tested in May 2018.
As well as that it has reached the breakout point of the descending triangle and has perfectly placed itself on the 0.786 fib retracement level.
All of these indicate a bullish reversal in my opinion, however I wouldn't be surprised to see a bounce before those levels are broken to get rid of weak hands.
Let me know what you think!
