Long: secondary, I won't exclude the possibility for this market to setup for a long trade, the market performed a higher high on the HOW and started dropping, currently consolidating.
Short: primary, Day 3 long breakout traders, HOW, is most of the time a reversal signal, but considering the overall level and behaviour of price, before NY session start I can see more a pump and dump. Price still on the frontside, so I won't be looking for a dump all the way down back to the LOW, unless news release at 10:30am NYT will be catalyst.
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.

Continued growth of WTI. H4 17.09.2024Continued growth of WTI
Oil rebounded from important support in the region of 65
and started to grow, I believe medium-term.
I do not exclude intermediate corrections, but in general
we aim at the area of 73 and there I will be specified.
On the way of growth we have resistance in the area of 71.50
and from there we can bounce down locally. But I believe that
then we will continue the growth to the specified targets.
Will the rising tension in the Middle East boost Oil prices?Macro theme:
- WTI hovered around 72.50 dollars per barrel on Thu, attempting to recover from previous losses as markets considered potential supply risks due to rising tensions in the Middle East.
- The Fed also implemented a larger-than-expected 0.5% cut, which could stimulate economic activity and boost oil demand.
- However, worries over China’s slowing economy and an expected supply increase from OPEC+ continue to pressure prices in the medium term.
Technical theme:
- From the 4-hour chart, USOIL is recovering and trading within its ascending channel. The price was retraced to retest both EMAs and bounced up to close above the key resistance at around 70.20.
- If the price can maintain above 70.20, it may continue to rise to 71.50. In the medium term, 73.00-73.80 is the potential area for USOIL to reach upon breaking 71.50, as it is the technical confluence area.
- Meanwhile, the price may retest the broken level 70.20 before resuming its upward short-term movement.

USOIL Analysis - BearishPair Name = USOIL
Timeframe =W1
Analysis = technical + fundamentals
Trend = Bearish
Pattern = Symmetrical Triangle
Details :-
USOIL is still following bearish trend. Currently Price range between 65 to 70. it will stay here for few more days. After that it will Again Follow the bearish trend. Target Price is 55 to 57.
USOIL / UNDER BULLISH PRESSURE - 4HUSOIL / 4H TIME FRAME
overall trading above 67.59 , expected under upward pressure .
Currently, prices are holding above the crucial support level of 67.59. As long as they maintain this position, an upward move towards the next resistance levels of 69.98 and 71.59 is likely. The 71.59 level is particularly important, as breaking through it would serve as confirmation of a sustained uptrend, potentially driving prices higher to test the 74.24 resistance zone.
However, if prices fail to hold above the 67.59 support level, it would indicate a shift in momentum, initiating a bearish phase. In such a case, the first target on the downside would be 65.35, with further declines possibly extending to the 63.67 region. This level would serve as a critical area for buyers to step in, and if breached, could signal a deeper correction.
UPWARD TARGET : 69.98 , 71.59 , 74.24.
DOWNWARD TARGET : 65.35 , 63.67.
2024-09-17 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Oil - Strong second leg up (daily tf) and bulls even tried to break above the bear flag but for now I doubt the breakout will be succesful. We are right in the middle of the broad bear channel and odds are 50/50 for either side. Above 72 odds rise for the bulls and below 69.5 I favor the bears again.
comment: In my weekly outlook I wrote that if 65 holds, bulls are favored for 73 or 74. High today was 71.92. I doubt bulls are strong enough to break above the bull channel and make the pullback even steeper. 50% pullback from the selloff since 77 is around 71.5, so we are right in the middle of the broad bear channel. Odds favor the bears to test the lower bull channel around 70.5 again. If bulls fail there and bears can break below, we will likely see a retest of 67 or 66.
current market cycle: bear trend
key levels: 66 - 74
bull case: Bulls got decent follow through and they want an endless pullback for the bears and keep going until they hit the upper bear trend line around 74.5. They are trading above the 4h 20ema and every touch of it is bought. As long as they keep it above 70, higher prices are expected.
Invalidation is below 70.
bear case: Bears see this bear flag with 3 pushes up as done and the 50% pb is high enough to try for a continuation of the bear trend. Don’t be among the first to join them. Confirmation would be a 15m bar close below 70 and a break below the bull channel.
Invalidation is above 72.
short term: Neutral around the 50% pb 71.5. Bearish below 70 and bullish above 72.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-08: Bears broke below multi month support and want a retest of 64.46 or lower. Right now the selling is a bit too steep to be sustainable. When we get a more complex pullback and form a decent channel, I will write a longer update here. Can this bear trend be the start of a bigger where we see Oil below 50$ again? I have absolutely no idea but the current daily chart can not not lead to that conclusion.
current swing trade : None
trade of the day: Buying the 4h 20ema is profitable again.

A New President's Potential Impact on Oil Prices1. Introduction
The U.S. presidential election in 2024 is set to bring new leadership, with a new president guaranteed to take office. As history has shown, political transitions often have a profound effect on financial markets, and crude oil is no exception. Traders, investors and hedgers are now asking the critical question: how will WTI Crude Oil futures react to this change in leadership?
While there is much speculation about how a Democrat versus a Republican might shape oil policy, data-driven insights provide a more concrete outlook. Using a machine learning model based on key U.S. economic indicators, we’ve identified potential movements in crude oil prices, spanning short, medium, and long-term timeframes.
2. Key Machine Learning Predictions for Crude Oil Prices
Short-Term (1 Week to 1 Month):
Based on the machine learning model, the immediate market reaction within the first week following the election is expected to be minimal, with predicted price changes below 2% for both a Republican and Democratic win. The one-month outlook also suggests additional opportunity.
Medium-Term (1 Quarter to 1 Year):
The model shows a significant divergence in crude oil prices over the medium term, with a potential sharp upward movement one year after the election. Regardless of which party claims the presidency, WTI crude oil prices could potentially rise by over 40%. This is in line with historical trends where significant price shifts occurred one year post-election, driven by economic recovery, fiscal policies, and broader market sentiment.
Long-Term (4 Years):
Over the course of the full four-year presidential term, the model predicts more moderate growth, averaging around 15%. The data suggests that, while short-term market movements may seem reactive, the long-term outlook is more balanced and less influenced by the winning party. Instead, economic conditions, such as interest rates and industrial activity, will have a more sustained impact on crude oil prices.
3. Feature Importance: The Drivers Behind Crude Oil Price Movements
The machine learning model's analysis highlights that crude oil price movements, especially one year after the election, are primarily driven by economic indicators, rather than the political party in power. Below are the top features influencing crude oil prices:
Top Economic Indicators Influencing Crude Oil:
Fed Funds Rate: The most significant driver of crude oil prices, as interest rate policies affect everything from borrowing costs to overall economic growth. Changes in the Fed Funds Rate can signal shifts in economic activity that directly impact oil demand apart from the US Dollar itself.
Labor Force Participation Rate: A critical indicator of economic health, a higher participation rate suggests a stronger labor market, which supports increased industrial activity and energy consumption, including crude oil.
Producer Price Index (PPI): The PPI reflects inflation at the producer level, impacting the cost of goods and services, including oil-related industries.
Consumer Sentiment Index: A measure of the general public's outlook on the economy, which indirectly influences energy demand as consumer confidence affects spending patterns.
Unit Labor Costs: An increase in labor costs can signal inflationary pressures, which could lead to changes in oil prices as businesses pass on higher costs to consumers.
This study exclusively uses U.S. economic data, excluding oil-related fundamentals such as OPEC+ supply and demand information, in order to focus on the election’s direct impact through domestic economic channels.
Minimal Influence of Political Party on Price Movements:
Interestingly, the machine learning model suggests that the political party of the newly elected president has a relatively low impact on crude oil prices. The performance of WTI crude oil appears to be more closely tied to macroeconomic factors, such as employment data and inflation, than the specific party in power.
These findings emphasize the importance of focusing on economic fundamentals when analyzing crude oil price movements for longer term exposures, rather than solely relying on political outcomes.
4. Historical Analysis of Crude Oil Price Reactions to U.S. Elections
Looking back over the last two decades, the performance of crude oil post-election has varied, depending on global conditions and the economic policies of the newly elected president.
Notable Historical Movements:
George W. Bush (Republican): In his 2000 election, crude oil dropped nearly 50% within a year, reflecting the broader economic fallout from the bursting of the dot-com bubble and the events of 9/11. In contrast, his 2004 re-election saw oil prices climb 21.5% within a year, driven by the Iraq War and increasing global demand for energy.
Barack Obama (Democratic): After his 2008 election, crude oil prices surged by 33.8% within one year, partly due to economic recovery efforts following the global financial crisis. His 2012 re-election saw more modest growth, with an 8.3% rise over the same period.
Donald Trump (Republican): His election in 2016 coincided with a moderate 23.8% increase in crude oil prices over one year, as the U.S. ramped up energy production through fracking, contributing to global supply increases.
Joe Biden (Democratic): Most recently, crude oil prices skyrocketed by over 100% in the year following Biden’s 2020 victory, driven by post-pandemic economic recovery and supply chain disruptions that affected global energy markets.
5. WTI Crude Oil Contracts: CL and MCL Explained
When trading crude oil futures, the two most popular contracts offered by the CME Group are WTI Crude Oil Futures (CL) and Micro WTI Crude Oil Futures (MCL). Both contracts offer traders a way to speculate or hedge on the price movements of crude oil, but they differ in size, margin requirements, and ideal use cases.
WTI Crude Oil Futures (CL):
Price Fluctuations: The contract moves in increments of $0.01 per barrel, meaning a $10 change for one contract.
Margin Requirements: As of recent estimates, the margin requirement for trading a CL contract is around $6,000, though this can fluctuate depending on market volatility.
Micro WTI Crude Oil Futures (MCL):
Price Fluctuations: 10 times less. The contract moves in increments of $0.01 per barrel, meaning a $1 change for one contract.
Margin Requirements: 10 times less, around $600 per contract.
Practical Application:
During periods of heightened market volatility—such as the lead-up to and aftermath of a U.S. presidential election—traders can use both CL and MCL contracts to navigate expected price fluctuations. Larger traders might use CL to hedge against or capitalize on significant price movements, while retail traders may prefer MCL for smaller, controlled exposure.
6. Conclusion
As the 2024 U.S. presidential election approaches, crude oil traders are watching closely for market signals. While political outcomes can cause short-term volatility, the machine learning model’s predictions emphasize that broader economic factors will drive crude oil prices more significantly over the medium and long term.
Whether a Democrat or Republican wins, crude oil prices are expected to see a potential increase, particularly one year after the election. This surge, driven by factors such as interest rates, labor market health, and inflation, suggests that traders should focus on these economic indicators rather than placing too much weight on which party claims the presidency.
7. Risk Management Reminder
Navigating market volatility, especially during a presidential election period, requires careful risk management. Crude oil traders, whether trading standard WTI Crude Oil futures (CL) or Micro WTI Crude Oil futures (MCL), should be mindful of the following strategies to mitigate potential risks:
Use of Stop-Loss Orders:
Setting predefined exit points, traders can avoid significant drawdowns if the market moves against their position.
Leverage and Margin Control:
Overexposure can lead to margin calls and forced liquidation of positions in volatile markets.
Position Sizing:
Adjusting position sizes according to risk tolerance is vital especially during uncertain periods like elections.
Hedging Strategies:
Traders might consider hedging their crude oil positions with other instruments, such as options or spreads, to protect against unexpected market moves.
Monitoring Economic Indicators:
Keeping a close watch on key U.S. economic data can provide valuable clues to future crude oil futures price movements.
By using these risk management tools effectively, traders can better navigate the expected volatility surrounding the 2024 U.S. election and protect themselves from significant market swings.
