The Crude Oil SetupCrude Oil (May)
Yesterday’s close: Settled at 85.41, down 0.25
Crude Oil futures have traded in a quiet range, going back through last week, outside of an early Friday morning geopolitical spike. A slate of economic data from China last night printed better Q1 GDP results at 5.3% versus 4.8%, but Industrial Production and Retail Sales whiffed. However, U.S. Retail Sales yesterday came in much stronger than expected, leading to a revision higher in the Atlanta Fed’s GDP forecast from 2.4% to 2.8%. It is important to note that Crude Oil has reacted favorably to surprisingly resilient and strong U.S. economic data, especially that which highlights the consumer.
Waves of weakness over the last week have helped define a floor at $84 and just above, while the gap settlement from April 1st sits just below at 83.71. This establishes a line in the sand in which the bulls can become more comfortable leaning against. However, a break below could quickly open the floodgates.

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Bullish Move From Support 🛢️
CRUDE OIL formed a nice double bottom pattern
after a test of a key intraday support.
The breakout of the neckline of the pattern is an important bullish confirmation.
We can expect a bullish movement at least to 86.0 level.

West Texas Oil:🔴Bearish scenario🔴As you can see, the price reached a daily bearish FVG and had a bearish reaction, so we are looking for a sell position.
I am searching for a premium entry, there is buy-side liquidity below FVG which aligns with the balance price range.
Until we don't close the candle body above the Daily FVG, I am bearish.
💡Wait for the update!

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Potential Scenarios For Next Week 🛢️
Crude Oil is consolidating after a strong bullish wave.
The price formed a horizontal range on a daily.
Next week, wait for a breakout of one of the boundaries of the range for a confirmation.
Bearish violation - a daily candle close below a support of the range, will give you a strong
bearish signal. A bearish continuation will be expected to 83.0 level then.
Alternatively, a bullish breakout of the resistance of the range - a daily candle close above,
will push the prices higher to 89.0 level.
Wait for a breakout, it will give you a strong confirmation.

Where Does Crude Invite Buyers?Crude Oil (May)
Yesterday’s close: Settled at 86.21, up 0.98
Crude Oil futures slipped early yesterday due to the broader risk-off sentiment and saw further selling on larger builds within the weekly EIA inventory data. However, price action held major three-star support (newly adjusted to 84.55-84.69 and 84.90-85.10) before geopolitical premium brought a fresh bid as news flow called an Iranian strike on Israel imminent.
Price action is again slipping into the onset of U.S. hours and with support well-defined, we will look to a pivot and point of balance at 86.02.
Bias: Bullish/Neutral
Resistance: 85.29**, 86.58-86.71**, 86.91-87.10***, 87.07-87.22**, 88.37-88.64***
Pivot: 86.02
Support: 84.90-85.10***, 84.55-84.69***, 84.04-84.09**, 83.71***, 83.12-83.25***

Oil: Thoughts and analysis Today's focus: Oil
Pattern – Continuation?
Support – 85.38
Resistance – 87.37
Hi, traders; thanks for tuning in for today's update. Today, we are looking at oil on the daily.
After a surge from the USD caught a lot of attention yesterday, we are watching oil after it rejected a push lower by sellers and continues to hold in a potential continuation type set-up.
Do you think that price is showing signs of a continuation? Could a close above yesterday's high signal a new move higher that could test resistance at 87.37?
Watch out for a new move lower that tests the 85.50 area, as that could be a sign that sellers have more numbers than first thought.
Good trading.
WTI remains on the 'buy the dip' statusMarket positioning data from the COT report shows that asset managers and large speculators are piling into longs, yet shorts remain subdued. The price on the 4-hour chart also shows an established uptrend within a bullish channel.
Prices have not yet completed a 3-wave retracement against the trend, hence the bias for a slightly deeper pullback before its trend resume. Also note that RSI (14) has not yet dipped into the oversold zone (which is now 40 given the strong uptrend).
Any pullbacks towards the internal trendline or $84 will pique our bullish interest for new longs, in anticipation of its next leg higher on route towards $90.
Crude Oil, Bulls in Driver’s Seat?Crude Oil (May)
Yesterday’s close: Settled at 86.43, down 0.48
On Friday, geopolitical premium helped the nearby month in Crude Oil futures traded to the highest level since October 23rd, and the May contract hit the highest since June 2022. Price action gapped lower from the 86.91 settlement on the open Sunday night, but strength into the onset of U.S. hours yesterday hit a high of 87.10. The resilience lends optimism, with the session low (Sunday night) holding that of Thursday’s before headlines lifted to new local highs. This newly established floor is now major three-star support at 84.64-84.93 and we see the bulls in the driver’s seat while above here.
The EIA will release its Short-Term Energy Outlook at 11:00 am CT, and API’s private weekly inventory survey is due at 3:30 pm CT.
Bias: Bullish/Neutral
Resistance: 86.91-87.10***, 87.07-87.22**, 88.37-88.64***
Pivot: 86.10
Support: 85.39-85.50**, 84.64-84.93***, 84.04-84.09**, 83.71***, 83.12-83.25***

Oil unaffected by the Port of Baltimore's closureAfter breaking above the ascending channel and reaching its highest value in nearly six months late last week, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil retested the upper bound of the channel during yesterday’s trading session. The outlook continues to look bullish on daily and weekly time frames. Nevertheless, multiple indicators flash overbought signals on the daily chart, implying this might not be the best spot to enter the market on the long side, and instead, it might be preferable to wait for a more substantial correction.
While waiting for such an event, we would like to address a recent tragedy in Baltimore that captured national headlines and caused the closure of the Port of Baltimore. Some analysts proclaimed this to be the start of bigger problems for various supply chains. However, despite the event's emotional weight and social implications, its impact on the oil market has been minimal. That is mainly because the port’s imports are not made up of crude oil but rather petroleum-derived products, including biodiesel, asphalt, and numerous fertilizers (along with different non-petroleum products). Therefore, the port does not hold considerable significance to the oil market.

WTI OIL Consolidation before rise to $91.50.WTI Oil (USOIL) is trading within a Channel Up pattern since the January 28 High supported by the 4H MA50 (blue trend-line) - 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) Zone. The Bullish Legs have so far recorded rises within a +8.24% to +10.24% range.
Right now it appears that Oil has finished the latest Bullish Leg as the 4H RSI made its standard Peak formation and declined. According to the previous RSI patterns, this decline is the most optimal buy entry.
Now we should be expecting a consolidation around the 4H MA50 and not lower than the 4H MA200 before the next rally. Taking the lowest +8.24% rise scenario, we are targeting for a minimum Higher High at 91.50.

CRUDE OIL Heist Plan to Rob the oil barrelsHola Traders,
This is our Excellent master plan to Heist Bullish side of Crude oil barrels. My dear Looters U can enter at the any point above the green MA pullback area, Our target is Red Zone that is High risk Trap area. Put Stop loss in recent swing LOW. Dear Robbers we can steal oil barrells and finally sell in the commodities market then make money and take money. Be safe and be Rich.
Time for a small pullback before higher price tags?West Texas Intermediate crude oil has increased nearly 20% since the start of 2024 and is currently trading near $86.50 per barrel. The precarious situation in the Red Sea, production cuts by OPEC (and its allies), and the inability of the United States to bring more production online fast enough have greatly contributed to the rising oil prices in the past four months. Going forward, it is unlikely that the geopolitical issues in the Middle East will improve anytime soon, especially following a severe escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran earlier this week when Israel killed two Iranian generals by airstrike in Damascus, Syria (not to mention constant failures in peace negotiations between Hamas and Israel, and Israel’s plans to continue military operations in Gaza). These actions will likely provoke retaliation from Iran in the form of more attacks on Israel through its proxies. As these relationships seem to have entered a spiral of reciprocating aggression, the odds of a huge war spillover continue to grow, which has enormous implications for this oil-rich producing region and the oil market itself.
On the subject of technicals, the daily and weekly time frames are bullish. However, the USOIL broke above the ascending channel on Tuesday, and the RSI reached overbought territory on the daily timeframe. Besides that, the price also deviated too far from its 20-day and 50-day SMAs, which increases the chances of a short-term pullback in the price of oil. Nonetheless, the probability of oil reaching $90 per barrel in the coming weeks continues to rise.

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Bullish Continuation After Pullback 🛢️
Crude Oil set a new local higher high higher close on a daily,
violating a key horizontal resistance.
It opens a potential for a further growth to 89.0 resistance.
I would suggest looking for entries after a pullback.
The safest zone to watch is a demand zone based on a broken structure
and a trend line of a rising channel.
