Weekend Wizardry On Crude OilRight now It makes no sense in my mind why the market would want to return to being bearish.
Yes we are in a premium and after a couple days of upwards movement there can be some stagnent action for traders who like to take more than 25-40 ticks ona single move.
So again why would market want to move lower on a htf bases as pointed in my arrows we have a Daily FVG whcih I will be watching price to respect and create a discount in that FVG
The wicks from Friday and Monday Daily chart show immediate rebalance and a propell higher is what I am looking for.
Given Monday can be opposing price to what Tues and Wed Provide... wink wink
Magnet shows my target for next week. to revisit this and whilst in fvg how do we close? Daily fvg CE?
I really do look at price on the day to day basis weekly targets yes but this is a subconscious thought when im trading pacific times of the day.
Crudeoil!
MarketBreakdown | Dollar Index, Silver, EURCAD, WTI Oil
Here are the updates & outlook for multiple instruments in my watch list.
1️⃣ Dollar Index #DXY daily time frame 💵
Dollar Index nicely respected a key daily horizontal resistance.
We see a nice bearish reaction to that today.
Because of the absence of important fundamentals,
I think that DXY may keep staying under a bearish pressure.
2️⃣ Silver #XAGUSD daily time frame 🪙
The price action on Silver contracts.
The market is currently stuck between 2 trend lines,
forming a classic symmetrical triangle formation.
Before the release of the news, the market will most likely
stay within the triangle, respecting its upper and lower boundary.
US fundamentals this week can be a catalyst for a breakout.
The side of the breakout will indicate you the future direction of the market.
3️⃣ #EURCAD daily time frame 🇪🇺🇨🇦
The market is approaching a significant confluence zone based
on a recently broken horizontal support and a trend line.
The broken structures compose a supply zone from where we may
see a bearish movement.
Patiently analyze the reaction of the price to that on lower time frames
and look for a confirmation to sell.
4️⃣ #WTI CRUDE OIL 🛢️
The market is currently stuck between 2 horizontal structures
within a narrow range.
I will wait for a breakout of one of the structures to confirm
where the market will go next.

oil crudewe anticipate a long term buy for crude oil based on the following analysis of crude oil which is an amalgamation of both fundamental technical analysis.
WTI crude oil continues its upward trajectory, with hourly prices testing the upper bounds of the ascending channel. If the short-term ceiling holds, prices could still experience a rapid pullback.
The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level stands at $80.02, with larger pullbacks potentially reaching the 50% level at $79.51, followed by the 61.8% level at $78.99 near the channel bottom and the 200-day SMA dynamic inflection point.
The stochastic oscillator dropping from overbought territory indicates rising selling pressure, with room for oscillators to decline further before reflecting bearish exhaustion, which suggests that the correction could persist until such exhaustion is observed.
The RSI is also trending downward, indicating that crude oil prices may follow suit until oversold conditions are met and oscillators rebound.
However, the overall structure shows the 100 SMA above the 200 SMA, confirming that the path of least resistance remains upward, or that support levels are more likely to hold than break. In this scenario, oil prices may continue to rise toward the swing highs around $81.69 or higher. In terms of trading strategy, it is recommended to buy the dips.

CL1! (Cruide Oil Futures) - Top-down Analysis Ok guys, here is my analysis for Crude Oil Futures.
I've been bullish, but the currently I don't have anything in terms of a strong bias in either direction. But what I will be looking for is what I mentioned wanting to see on the weekly timeframe.
Watch the analysis, let me know what you think will happen with crude oil prices!
- R2F
Crude Oil Thursday Rumble...As we are in Bullish territory on the HTF the Daily FVG bellow is where I am anticipating price to retrace too leading upto 0930est... Does it have to retrace there? No.
However I am Looking at Bullish bias towards the Daily V.i Marked in the chart for a Target and Forecast going forward...
Pretty simple.
CRUDE OIL (WTI): Time For Pullback
As I predicted yesterday, WTI Crude Oil bounced and reached a key daily resistance.
After the test of the underlined blue structure, the market started to consolidate
and formed a head and shoulders pattern on an hourly time frame.
Bearish breakout of its neckline is a strong bearish signal.
It indicates that the market may retrace from the resistance.
Goals: 80.0 / 79.6
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
Crude Turbo Tuesday'sYesterday we saw a nice bulish displacement and I would like price to stay above the 1hr FVG..
We can wick bellow on the 1hr but leading into CME open I would wait for bullish price to reach to the 80.00 level which is the Daily FVG..
Once we close inside the Daily FVG we can start looking at CE of it.
CRUDE OIL (WTI): Intraday Bullish Move
I see a breakout of an intraday horizontal resistance on WTI.
After a violation, the market started to correct within the expanding wedge pattern.
Test of a broken structure made the market bullish again.
I think that bulls may push the prices higher today.
Goal - 80.15
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
WTI stages breakoutCrude oil's rally today underscores its recent resilience. Prices surged despite weaker Chinese industrial data, suggesting investors are expecting the oil market to tighten as we head deeper into the US driving season.
Thanks to the rally, WTI has broken its bearish trendline that had been in place since April, finding strong support around $77.80, where the 21-day exponential moving average is present. Today's rally has lifted WTI to its 200-day moving average, just below the $79.50 level. Previously, it had struggled within the $79.50 to $80.00 range.
Considering last week's V-shaped recovery and the subsequent break above the bearish trendline, crude oil bulls are now looking for a move above May's high of $80.63. Achieving this would mark the first higher high and confirm a bullish reversal signal for WTI.
Conversely, if oil prices turn lower in the coming days and fall back below the breakout area around $77.80, the bearish trend would likely resume, leading to further technical selling.
However, the bullish scenario appears more probable to me.

Daily Timeframe suggests Bearish Price ActionWe are currently inside a 12$ Range on Crude Oil on the monthly timeframe. Support being 71.32 and resistance being 83.22. After two weeks of trading in June, Oil is up roughly 2/3 of 1 Percent. The First week being quite bearish but which was corrected, plus an additional some to the upside on the second week. Price came awfully close to the weekly resistance level ( about 25 cents) on Wednesday but coincided with US weekly Inventories and dropped on a higher than forecasted number. Weekly Bearish Target for Crude this week I have 75.36 Weekly support level. Weekly Long target for crude this week I have 79.58 Weekly resistance Level. What's interesting is that after the initial climb on last Monday, Crude simply consolidated for the rest of the week. It actually printed 3 Daily candles that had a larger top wick than the body of the candle. My Bias is bearish to kick off the new trading week and short term targets are 77.30 for the upcoming session.

Quote from last week:
bull case: The best the bulls can hope for, is for the lows to hold and to move sideways and hit the daily ema again. They failed at keeping it above 75, which was huge support. Last bear leg inside this bigger trading range was 11 weeks long from high to low and we are currently at 9 weeks. Bulls will want to find support here around 70-72 and trade back up to at least 78 over the next 8-12 weeks.
comment: After Monday there was no question that bulls took control again and the bear trend is over. Bears now fight to keep this a lower high and retest the 72.48 low but for now, market is in balance around 78. Bulls want to break out of the bear channel and test 80 again.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 72-79
bull case: Strong week by the bulls with 3 pushes up but still a lower high. Their next target is to get back above 80.22. Right now they have momentum going but big down, big up mostly creates confusion and that means trading range. Above 79.5 I will probably long for 80. They need to stay above 77 or odds favor a retest of the lows below 74.
Invalidation is below 77.
bear case: Huge bear surprise the week before and now a big bull surprise. Most reasonable thing here is for the market to move more sideways, probably still inside the very big triangle 73 - 81.5. If bears get below 77, they want to retest the lows below 74, which is also what I think has the slightly better odds next week but I would wait for confirmation.
Invalidation is above 80.6.
outlook last week:
“Neutral because I think we will hit the daily ema again and a retest of 72.5ish. I am not a fortune teller so I don’t know which comes first. I will watch the price action and give daily updates here on substack and intraday in my trading room.”
→ Last Sunday we traded 75.53 and now we are at 78.45. I said we will hit the daily 20ema which was 140 upwards. On Monday there was no question we will get there, so I hope you made some. Did not expect bears to just disappear afterwards and let the market trade above for the whole week.
short term: Neutral right under the bear channel line and daily ema at 77.5. Can break to either side.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. Market will probably move more inside this big range until we get a new big cycle to either side. —unchanged
current swing trade: None
chart update: Adjusted both two-legged corrections to fit the current pattern better but the C target is very questionable as of now. We need more price action to know where market wants to go from here.
USOIL Possible shortUSOIL has been moving bearishly for some time now since it's overall higher time frame direction is bearish. It has recently formed an interesting structural pattern where it swept previous equal highs before breaking the previous low with MASSIVE momentum. It has currently retraced back towards the deep inner range, where the kick the this previous enormous bearish momentum began, to fill imbalances that were left behind in the process. So price could potentially use a 4h supply zone to push further to the downside with the help of a triangle liquidity that has currently formed below it. The target is the latest low as it is weak due to the nature of the tend being bearish.

Crude Oil peaks on OverSupply of Commercial Held Barrels?Hello Traders.. Today Crude Oil went up and up and up and was beginning to resemble a small cap crypto.. this was until US Inventories data release showed an oversupply of 2/3 items. The number of barrels held by Commerical firms was forecasted to decrease by -1.2 million barrels in this weeks readings. Maybe this is why we saw crude hiking up and up (+1.15$) throughout Asian session and London session. The Actual reading, released 30 minutes prior to London close, showed an increase in the number of barrels held by commercial firms. 3.7M is the number. This increase is signnifcant , especially since the last 4 releases have been forecasted to show a decrease in the number of barrels held . With an oversupply, price naturally dropped , abiding to the laws of supply and demand. In our previous forecast we were anticipating a retest of 77.8 and consequential increase. We indeed observed this after price dropped dramatically. We saw 77.8 1Hr Zone hold firm. The Monthly, Weekly and Daily timeframes are still screaming buys and I'm still thinking there is some momentum bullish in the market. These are the prices that I like for scalping in the upcoming sessions. 78.80 1hr zone, 77.8 1hr zone. 77.30 is target for sells for upcmoming session while 79.25 is the target for longs in the upcoming sessions.
Crude Oil - Bullish long-term - Bearish short-termCrude oil moved as we expected. Now in the next days we can expect it to follow the red scenario and reach the $75 area. If we see prices around $75 I'll put another update.
Context is BULLISH for Crude oil and DXY is showing weakness after yesterday's FOMC meeting and the market is more confident about the rate cuts in September than last week. SO BE CAREFUL with your short positions.
WTI off lows after earlier drop, but what now?Crude oil prices gave up their earlier gains, to turn modestly lower on the day after the release of the EIA weekly US oil inventories, before bouncing off their lows ahead of the FOMC rate decision. Watch the closing prices. A daily close in the red may lead to some follow-up selling in the days ahead, given that WTI has arrived and reacted negatively from the key $79 level.
Crude stocks came in at +3730K vs. -1025K expected and +1233K the week before. For gasoline, stocks came in at +2566K, significantly surpassing the expected +0.891K reading. Distillates, on the other hand, registered +881K against an anticipated +2147K. Refinery utilization saw a decrease of 0.4%, slightly more than the expected decline of 0.3%. Additionally, US crude imports reached their highest level since 2018, which may help explain the discrepancy in expectations.
Crude oil had staged a sharp recovery after hitting key support at $72.50 on Wednesday, before today’s struggles. The rally has been driven by hopes for increased fuel demand as the US driving season progresses. We have had a couple of stronger US macroeconomic pointers including the ISM services PMI and monthly jobs report that helped to reduce fears about demand weakness. Prices also found support from oversold conditions following a three-week decline that had been fuelled by concerns over Chinese demand and rising non-OPEC supply.
Today’s inventories figures were considered bearish by traders, and they sold oil after WTI had risen to test resistance and its bearish trend line around $79.
The lower highs suggest the short-term path of least resistance is still downward, until told otherwise by the charts.
In terms of support, the next important zone is between $76.00 and $76.50 for WTI, which had been both support and resistance in the past. If prices fall below this area, the bearish trend may resume, potentially triggering further technical selling.
Meanwhile the key resistance level to watch is around $79.00, give or take, where the trend line and the base of last week’s breakdown meet. This is where today’s rally has stalled for now. The bulls will need to see a close above here in order to initiate a move towards $80 and higher.

WTI Oil - 4H Sell OpportunityThe WTI Oil chart shows a compelling setup for a short position. The price has rallied into a significant resistance zone around $79, coinciding with a strong downward trend line that has been respected multiple times. This area acts as a confluence of resistance, providing a high-probability entry for selling.
Given the persistent bearish trend, this resistance zone is likely to hold, reinforcing the potential for a downward move. The chart indicates that selling WTI Oil at this juncture offers a good risk-to-reward opportunity, aiming for a decline towards lower support levels as shown by the red arrows.
Monday/Tuesday Bullish.. Continuation on Wednesday? Hello Traders. The Monthly candle has flipped bullish and the weekly candle is pushing for new highs as the 3rd Asian session of the week kicks off here. Monday was super bullish and today's tuesday candle closed bullish after a late NY bullish push. We observed (4) 4hr candles print bearish consecutively only to be overshadowed by a large bullish candle that began it's ascent at around London close today. The Market is bullish and so continuing to look for longs up to the next 4hr level (79.00) is a scenario for the next session. Another scenario is we push to the 78.50 4hr level and then rollover towards (77.30) 4hr level. The market totally changed behavior after dipping into 73 Weekly Level. The last crude oil inventories, which was forecasted to see a decrease by 2.1m barrels, instead saw an increase and this lined up with a low in the market . The news was About 1.13$ off the low and has been a catalyst for this bullish momentum in the last few days. Interest rates, CPI and Inventories tomorrow will surely send the markets into an uproar so careful trading ahead.
