Crude Oil : Monthly candle flips bullish Hello Traders. The Daily Range today on Crude Oil was 2.89$. This is in the top 10% of the 113 Daily candles that we've observed so far this year for Crude. Quite the move to the upside to begin the week! We mirrored the move bearish from the previous week, which happened to be on Monday as well. The monthly candle managed to flip back bullish as we kickoff the second week of June. After tapping into 72.58 Weekly support level last week, price jumped up. We hadn't seen this price since Jan/Feb of this year and so mpt surprised to see Bulls step in an push price up. Interesting to note that the Daily candle today failed to close with a top wick. This signals some profit taking and exhaustion based off my analysis. Additionally, ever since the new daily candle opened, price has been pulling back down. Tuesday is starting out bearish.. will buyers step back in? Where could they? These are the prices I like for the upcoming sessions.
Crudeoil!
#202424 - a weekly price action market recap and outlook - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
wti crude oil futures
Quote from last week:
bear case: Bears sold 80 again and will probably take profits here at 77 or try to get 76 again. If they get a breakout below, we will probably test 75, which is a price I thought we would test for 5-7 weeks now. It’s a bad sell here at 77 for bears so best they can get is sideways movement.
comment: Fair to say that bears surprised me big time on Monday with the huge follow through selling through previous bigger support. 72 stopped the fall and created an expected bounce. I do think this was W5 and my bearish targets are all met for now. Market should move sideways to up from here. On Friday we got a perfect retest of the breakout price of 76 and that was resistance for now. Worst case scenario for bulls would be to stay below 76. The bull trend line will get retested and should hold for now.
current market cycle: Bear trend which could transition into a trading range here
key levels: 72-78
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.
Invalidation is below 71.
bear case: Huge bear surprise imo on Monday and bears want to keep it max bearish and they will do that by keeping the market below the breakout price around 76 and below the daily ema. They want a retest of 72.5 again and poke the bull trend line enough for bulls to give up there. If they actually get an acceleration of this bear trend, which is the low probability thing, they could retest 70 next and below 70 comes 67 as support.
Invalidation is above 80.5.
outlook last week: “R:R is on the bull side here at the bottom of this range. I wait for confirmation on Monday before going long for 80 again. Below 76 we could get to 75 but that would require strong momentum for me to go short down here.”
→ Last Sunday we traded 76.99 and now we are at 75.53. High of the week was 77.52 so the uber bearish price action, was surprising to me. I did not advise you to be bullish, unless there confirmation for the bulls and obviously that did not happen. So my bearish target of 75, if we go below 76, was alright but way too short of 72.48. Not a good outlook.
short term: 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.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 73 and 83. 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.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Added my pretty bear channel, adjusted 5-wave series and added a two-legged pullback, which we are probably in as of now. The red ABC is how I imagine it to play out price-wise, not time wise. We should see a retest of the lows as well as the daily ema. I don’t know which comes before what or when. Also adjusted the big bear trend line from 2022.

USOIL PULLBACK BEFORE ANOTHER DIP#USOIL As predicted last time, we observed a significant drop following the breakout identified in the bullish channel. Currently, we see consolidation, a bearish impulse, and now a pullback. We anticipate another downward movement once the current bullish impulse concludes. This is expected to retest the recent lows near the major demand zone previously highlighted.
CRUDE OIL (CL): Weak Momentum Likely to Persist?Assalamualaikum wbt and Good Day to fellow traders!
From my rather simplistic view, the overall two-hour time frame (TF2hr) chart seems to indicate that the prices for WTI Light Crude Oil ( NYMEX:CL1! ) could go further south at least for the time being.
The further potential weakness is being reinforced by the significant key moving averages (in this case Exponential Moving Averages or EMAs ) - the EMA50 (blue line) and EMA200 (amber line) - in which the Black Gold sits below those lines since April 17, 2024.
Despite several rebound attempts, the commodity has continued to slide downwards making some notable Lower Lows and Lower Highs until recently last Friday while trading range-bound in between.
In addition, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also flashed a cautious sell signal last Friday following a cross over.
On top of that, the obvious rejection at the 76.03-76.30 key level could possibly suggest that the bearish momentum is still in play.
However, a bullish reversal may occur should the MACD crossover take place above the 0 line with the help of a significant volume, as well as the two EMAs crossing up.
Wallahu a'lam.

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Time to Sell?!
WTI Crude Oil is testing a recently broken horizontal support.
After a violation, it turned into a potentially strong resistance.
Approaching the underlined area, the price formed a head and shoulders pattern
on an hourly time frame.
A breakout of its horizontal neckline is a strong intraday bearish confirmation for us.
We can expect a bearish continuation now.
Goals 74.9 / 74.3

OPEC Secretary-General Affirms Resilient Oil Demand
OPEC Secretary-General Affirms Resilient Oil Demand
OPEC Secretary-General Haitham Al-Ghais stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Thursday that oil demand remains resilient. "It's crucial to stay focused on the fundamentals," he emphasized. "Economic growth, supply, and demand are what drive our decisions."
Al-Ghais noted that global demand increased by 2.3 million barrels per day in the first quarter, typically the weakest quarter due to global refinery maintenance. He anticipates continued strong demand in the coming months, particularly with the uptick in summer travel.
Saudi Energy Minister Dismisses Bearish Response to OPEC+ Deal, Confident Market Will Adjust
Saudi Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman dismissed the market's bearish reaction to OPEC+'s decision to gradually phase out voluntary output cuts, expressing confidence that the market will adjust. "Give it a day or two, reality will set in," he stated at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Thursday. He criticized some banks and media outlets for their narratives around the meeting and reaffirmed that OPEC+ made the right decision. "I know that we did the best job," he asserted.
The OPEC+ meeting initially triggered an oil selloff, exacerbated by short selling and movements in the options market, as traders worried about potential oversupply. However, Abdulaziz emphasized that OPEC+ retains the flexibility to pause or reverse production increases based on market conditions.
OIL OUTLOOK
Oil prices increased early as we mentioned, recovering from a four-month low, which was the lowest point since February. This drop was attributed to an unexpected surge in U.S. stockpiles, indicating softer demand than anticipated.
Technically:
The price has stabilized within the bearish zone, having already corrected the previous barrier which is 75.39. This suggests a continuation of the bearish trend, with potential targets at 72.500 and 70.570. A further break below 72.500 could lead the price down to 70.570.
Conversely, if the price stabilizes above 75.400, it may indicate a bullish trend, potentially reaching up to 78.070.
Pivot line: 75.390
Support lines: 72.50, 70.57, 68.12
Resistance lines: 76.80, 78.07, 79.35
The movement range will be between support 70.57 and Resistance 76.80
previous idea:
Bullish on Crude oilNYMEX:CL1!
TVC:DXY
Right now as the Crude Oil prices are at *premium and technically we are around a strong support area I think we would see a rally somewhere between 67.5 and 72.5. However, this week, we have PMI and NFP news ahead so if the reports come out to support DXY, Crude oil might stay around this area for a while (as it's seasonality suggests)
* look at the closing price of the futures contracts between July and December 2024.
USOIL SHORT
The price may rise to $82 but could also fall to about $70.
101.9 million barrels of oil will be consumed worldwide per day.
By next year, the oil markets appear to be oversupplied.
Highlights
Lower Russian output and more demand brought on by China's reopening could help oil prices.
Low demand and a bleak macroeconomic outlook for China
When the Energy Information Administration releases its inventory figures on Wednesday, more oil-related information will be available.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Oversold offers a buy opportunity.WTI Crude Oil has turned oversold on its 1D technical outlook (RSI = 29.383, MACD = -1.620, ADX = 31.641) as the price is approaching the bottom of the 2 month Channel Down. As long as it remains under the 1D MA50, the long term trend will be bearish but the oversold conditions and the 1D MACD, which is replicating the early December 2023 bottom pattern, call for a low risk short term buy opportunity. We are targeting the top of the Channel Down and no higher than the 0.382 Fibonacci level (TP = 76.00).

The Overlooked Impact of Lower Crude Oil Prices on Inflation Everyone talks about higher CPI when crude is up, but ignores it when prices drop.
Right now, lower crude oil is actually helping to soften inflation and weaken the dollar.
Keep an eye on the neckline around $70—but it might not be easy to break.

4. THESIS:
Long: secondary, many times, day 3 shorts in the market are a strong reversal signal, especially during Wednesday or Friday (which closes the week). From Friday NY session the market dumped down and currently it looks consolidating on the low, with a chance to push higher stopping the previous and most recent level short (I would define it a long scalp)
Short: primary, market still on the backside, a lower low into the LOW can be a great clue of daily pump and dump back into the LOW or previous LOW.
Please note that the purpose of my analysis is to help me and you hunting the best trade setup for the day, none of my technical aspects are a way to forecast any directional market movement.

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Your Trading Plan For Next Week
WTI Crude Oil is trading in a bearish trend on a daily.
For the entire month of May, the market is consolidating within a horizontal range.
I believe that a bearish trend will continue after a violation of the support of the range.
I am waiting for its breakout to sell the market.
A daily candle close below 75.5 will confirm a violation.
A bearish wave will be anticipated at least to 72.5 level then.

USOIL (Continuation falling)Oil prices increased early as we mentioned, recovering from a six-week low after a significant 4.3% fall the previous day, which was the lowest point since mid-March. This drop was attributed to an unexpected surge in U.S. stockpiles, indicating softer demand than anticipated.
At the same time, market observers have pointed out that the Federal Reserve has kept interest rates steady, diminishing earlier expectations for a rate cut. PVM Oil Associates commented, "The reduction in borrowing costs may not occur as soon or as quickly as previously thought. It is similar to peak oil demand—consistently anticipated yet never realized."
Technically:
The price has stabilized within the bearish zone, having already breached the pivotal range between 80.73 and 82.24. This suggests a continuation of the bearish trend, with potential targets at 76.80 and 75.35. A further break below 75.35 could lead the price down to 69.78.
Conversely, if the price stabilizes above 82.24, it may indicate a bullish trend, potentially reaching up to 86.86.
Pivot line: 78.00
Support lines: 76.80, 75.35, 69.78
Resistance lines: 80.73, 82.24, 86.86
