Oil is near its selling zone. Oil is on fire because of sanctions against Russia. Russia is one of the largest oil-producing countries globally, and the European countries mainly depend on Russian oil and gas.
The sanction against Russia put the fire on the oil sector. So, it is tough to say where the oil price will stop. But there is something about to say technical analysis and profit-taking factors.
As long as the European don't find alternatives, the oil price will rise. But profit-taking is a must for every trade.
The present rates are $110/115/Barrels seem a profit-taking zone. That means oil may go in deep correction nearly from the present rate.
So, I expect oil to drop from $110/115 to $90/92 for profit-taking purposes. But remember, profit-taking doesn't mean the trend is changing. The oil trend still is in an uptrend as long the European countries don't find the alternatives of Russian oil or the OPEC agreed to produce more oil.
So, we can sell in the short term from the present rates to the $90/92 price zone after deep correction, and we will go for buy again from the $90/92 price zone.
On the other hand, if oil breaks above the $115.00, we will continue our trade till the 2008'sswing high price zone of $145/150 price zone. However, I am not expecting it yet. I expect a correction first in deep, and then we will buy again. But I am still bullish on oil.

Why Crude Oil and NATGAS prices are rising? What is next? Since August 20202, the crude oil price has risen because of demand. However, during covid suddenty, crude oil demand dropped. But very soon, crude oil managed to recover its market.
Since November 2020, Crude oil prices have been rising gradually following its trendline support and trendline resistance.
Everything was fine till the Russian and Ukraine crisis started. When the situation started, and till now, crude oil prices rose almost $25/barrel.
Is Russia is a factor in the rising crude oil and others fuel prices? The answer is yes. Russia is the largest exporter of fuel to the European market.
Neither the United States nor Russia has moved away; On the contrary, both sides have increased their military presence. In the meantime, the Nord Stream-2 pipelines have been under discussion for a few days.
This pipeline has been laid to take gas from Russia to Germany. However, both the United States and Germany have said that if Russia invades Ukraine, work on the Nord Stream-2 pipelines will be delayed. As a result, NATGAS prices also rose nearly $2.
Russia, Norway, Algeria, and Qatar are the four countries in the European Union that import the most natural gas. Of this, 41.1% came from Russia and 16.2% from Norway. The rest of the countries from which natural gas comes are less than 10 per cent. The same is true of crude oil.
Europen country's imports from Russia are 26.9 per cent of their crude oil. The amount of crude oil imported from any other country is not more than 10 per cent. In addition, 47.8% of timber and coal are imported from Russia. According to the European Union's 2019 update, the United States imports 16.6 per cent of this timber and coal.
This means that if Europe imposes sanctions on Russia over its attack on Ukraine, Russia alone will pay the price. In this context, we can talk about the 1967 Israel-Aber war. In the wake of the six-day war, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Libya, and Algeria joined forces to cut off fuel supplies to the United States, the United Kingdom, and West Germany.
In 1963, the Arab-Israeli war broke out again. Once again, Arab countries cut off oil supplies to the United States. The reason is that the United States supplied arms to Israel.
In addition, Arab countries cut off oil supplies to the Netherlands, Portugal, and South Africa because they supported Israel. Although its impact is felt worldwide, oil prices are rising all over the world.
Though the situation is not the same right now, Arab countries are best allies with the USA and European countries. But we have to keep in mind that Rusia himself supplies 41.1% crude oil to Europe. So, only the Arab countries won't tackle that demand and situation.
So as long as this crisis won't finish or world leaders won't reach a solution, it is expected that the crude oil and NATGAS price has more chances to rise in the upcoming days.
If you are a crude oil and NATGAS trader, you should always keep in touch about the Russian and Ukrain issues. As these commodity prices stay in pick, any developing news about the Russia and Ukraine crisis may decrease crude oil and NATGAS prices.
Crude Oil Technical Analysis
Crude oil is hovering nearly its trendline resistance zone. The present rate, trendline resistance, is identified at $93/95/barrels. So, unless the crisis accelerates, we may see some correction from the trendline resistance level.
$77 is identified as trendline support from the current level. If the market goes for correction, it may test the $77/75 price zone. As long as crude price holds above the $75 price zone, it still is an uptrend. So, we may see another upward lag from the $77/75price zone.
Our final upside target is $100/107price zone this year. It may take time to see the crude oil price above $100. But if what won't solve the Russia and Ukraine issue and accelerates more, it is just a matter of time before the crude and NATGAS price will spike to the upside.
Oil Trade AnalysisOil has reached an important price level, which will determine the trend for the following week (at the very least). From here I see only three possible scenarios, starting with the most likely one to occur.
1) Price pulls back from the resistance level, as I presume a lot of people will be shorting the high level of 25th October. Alternatively, it can consolidate in this area until all the shorts are absorbed. Then, it pierces through that level and blasts up. If you are breakout trader/investor, that would obviously be the moment to buy. I probably would wait for some pullback, just in case we see scenario 3, discussed below.
2) Price bounces off that resistance, consolidates for a bit and then drops down, in which case I am looking to open a short position. Pretty straightforward.
3) Fake-out, although most unlikely out of the three, still quite possible. A sudden spike up will trigger the stop losses of the short players and will invite the breakout traders to open their longs. A quick drop afterwards would kick the latter's stop losses and eventually you are left with a much smaller amount of participants in the move.
This is one of those levels where you don't necessarily set a limit order, but wait and see how price reacts.

Oil Weekly Analysis$OIL Weekly Analysis
From where we stand, today seems to be the day, which will determine the weekly trend. A bounce up in the $78.25 area should lead to higher high and a potential uptrend.
If the lower trendline doesn't hold, I will be opening a short, targeting at least $76.90 and potentially looking for stacking short orders.
Currently still in "'Sit Tight and Assess'" mode, trying to not look up or down, but just let the market do its thing.
US OIL stuck In a trendline resistance. Can it break out? The crude oil price has been on a steady climb this week, with two consecutive increases since the beginning. Today American market has not opened yet, but its possible prices will continue climbing even more tomorrow if they haven't already. But the crude price stuck below the trendline resistance nearly $75.30/barrel.
The rise in crude goods is likely due to increased demand out east caused by cold weather and holiday celebrations—the recent production cuts between OPEC members like Saudi Arabia who want lower gas prices.
At the same time, other countries need higher profits now instead of later when there might be fewer buyers because everyone needs fuel at some point or another-especially during winter months which require lots of road salt.
From the current crude price, $75.30 is the total resistance area. Breaking above $75 will open the door for $85/barrel.
On the other hand, as the market holds below the trendline resistance level, it may also correct a little bit to the downside. But fundamentally, I don't think it will drop a lot. It probably won't fall but a lot, but as a correction, it can test moreover $68.
Note: Don't go short on Oil as long as fundamental factors support be a higher price, at least during this month.
