CL Futures Outlook May 27, 2025 Compression Near Structure ZonesToday, CL is trading just above a key mid-structure zone, continuing its sideways movement between defined supply and demand levels.
🔹 Current Technical Picture:
Price remains inside a compression range
Resistance at the top red zone where price was rejected yesterday
Mid green zone acting as current structure support
Lower green zone marked by last week's strong buyer reaction
Volume profile is neutral, showing no aggressive buyer or seller dominance at the moment. A failed breakout attempt above the descending channel in the previous session keeps this structure coiled and reactive.
🔍 My Outlook:
If price retests the middle zone with strong volume + bullish reaction, it could offer a continuation toward resistance.
If price climbs into the red zone and rejects with weakness, there’s potential for a move back toward the middle zone.
A sharp drop into the lower green zone with strong buyer confirmation would create a high-reward reversal opportunity.
No trades are taken blindly. I only act when price shows clear intent at key levels. Today is a reactive environment — not one for forced setups.
📉 Analysis based on volume structure, order flow, and key S/R zones.

Thu 15th May 2025 BTC/USD Daily Forex Chart Sell SetupGood morning fellow traders. On my Daily Forex charts using the High Probability & Divergence trading methods from my books, I have identified a new trade setup this morning, and this is a BTC/USD Sell trade. As usual, you can see the details of the trade/s on the chart. Keep in mind that I am generally looking to buy when the MACD is below the zero level & sell when it is above the zero level. The red/blue QMP Filter dots on the price chart produce the actual trade signal. I am also considering things like divergence, support/resistance, round numbers etc, and these will be marked up on the chart. Enjoy the day all. Cheers. Jim

Note: This isn’t a great setup as price is already at the previous high and the MACD is just below the zero level. But I had to take it because I am committed to my MSH (multi sequence hedging) strategy. So if you are a traditional type trader, then standing aside on this trade would probably be the smart thing to do.
