Oil Back to $80!!Oil has blasted back to the 80's, one of the only asset classes in our reports that is showing some strong bull conviction. We rejected 78.90 and returned to the range that we were holding in the 77's briefly, before getting a boost back through 78.90, to claim the 80 handle once more. Currently, we are seeing the price potentially top out for now, with two red triangles on the KRI just below 80.70. The Kovach OBV has leveled off which suggests that we have reached a top for now. Anticipate some ranging or perhaps another retracement before another run for higher levels in the 80's with 81.30 the next target. If we retrace, 78.90 should be considered the floor for now.

Oil Maintains the RangeOil has trekked downward from its rally yesterday. The rally was paltry with respect to what oil has been able to muster with proper buying momentum. We are still largely in a broad sideways corrective phase. The level 72.99 appeared to be a top for oil, as we identified yesterday. Currently, we are stabilizing around support in roughly the middle of the range, at 71.00, a technical and psychological level. The Kovach OBV is still relatively flat, and has arched over with the selloff, which suggests that if we don't find support here, that we could test further levels on the downside, including 70.01 and 69.67. These levels have provided strong support in the past, and are the lower bound of this corrective phase. If we take these levels out, then 68.96 is the next level of strong support, the neckline of our inverse head and shoulders pattern, from which we originally broke out to higher levels in the 70's. If this neckline can't hold, then it's a very bearish sign, and we should easily be able to test lower levels in the mid 60's, like 66.00, a strong technical and psychological level and the low of our second shoulder.
Oil Trends Lower, Rejecting Relative HighsOil has drifted further down, but has found support at 70.00, a psychological and technical level. We are finding some meager support here, and have started to drift back upwards. Oil is in a broad corrective phase from the rally we saw after the inverse head and shoulders breakout. The technicals are looking pretty stagnant for oil at the moment, with the Kovach OBV flat, and the Kovach Chande oscillatory. We should continue to see value form in the range between 68.96 (the neckline of our inverse H&S pattern) and relative highs at 72.99.
Inverse Head and Shoulders in Oil??Oil is still feeling global demand woes and remains in the high 60 handle. We are seeing an inverse head and shoulders pattern with a neckline at 68.96. The second shoulder has yet to fully form so avoid trading this preemptively. If we break out, we could easily hit 72.99, a relative high. If we reject it, then this would be a bearish sign, and we could easily see lows of 62.80 again. The Kovach OBV is still very bearish, and perhaps oversold. But is does appear to be letting up a bit, perhaps suggesting a relief rally may be in store soon.
Can OPEC Counter Oil's Decline??Oil has edged up as OPEC has pledged to compensate for demand woes. We are seeing resistance from 69.67, a relative high. Several red triangles on the KRI are popping up on the chart, indicating we are running into some resistance. The Kovach OBV is still bearish, to the point we are severely oversold, so a relief rally could easily take us 200 ticks higher, though 72.99, the next relative high, should provide significant resistance. From below, 62.80, the relative low, should be considered a min lower bound for now.
Global Demand Woes Impact OilOil is still very bearish but does appear to have settled for now, finding support at our level at 64.86. We have gotten a small boost here but are seeing some resistance as confirmed by a red triangle on the KRI just above 66.84. We are currently in roughly the midpoint of a range extending from 64.86 to 69.67. The Kovach OBV is extremely bearish, and starting to look over sold. But with global demand worries due to the new Omicron strain of the Coronavirus, we don't expect a rally any time soon. That being said we could see a relief rally potentially as high as the 70's, with 72.99 a particularly auspicious target.
Demnd Issues Hit OilOil had a brief attempt at a rebound in the 70 handle, before crashing right back down to the 60's. We alerted you yesterday that the relative low was somewhat auspicious at 67.91. This is exactly where we are hanging on by a thread at the moment. The Kovach OBV is solidly bearish, and fears over the Omicron variant have weighed on demand considerations. If we break down further into the 60 handle, then 66.77, 66.00, and 65.61 should provide support. If we see a rally, then 72.99 is the level we need to break before we are able to claw back the 70 handle.
Two Factors Impacting Oil PricesOil has plummeted over continued issues on the supply and demand side. The Omicron variant of the coronavirus has impacted demand considerations as global governments consider yet another wave of lockdowns. We smashed through the 70 handle, but found support at 67.91. After a green triangle on the KRI confirmed support, oil was able to regain the 70 handle, and is currently hovering just below our level at 72.25. We do appear to be witnessing a bull wedge forming, but the Kovach OBV is still very bearish, despite the relief rally. This suggests that we aren't quite ready to see higher levels yet, but 72.99 is the next target if we see a bid. From below, there is a cluster of levels to provide support, with 67.91 to be the floor for now.

Bearish Flag Pattern Setup on Gasoline, Target at 2Trend Analysis
The main view of this trade idea is on the 4-Hour Chart. Gasoline futures (RBOB) appears to be in a bearish flag pattern setup. The pole of the flag can be seen from the sharp decline from 2.55 highs to the initial low at 2.31. Then RBOB began to gingerly channel lower and is currently retesting the 2.31 support level. If RBOB breaks below that support, the futures contract is expected to decline towards 2. A negation of this move will be observed if RBOB breaks above the resistance trendline towards 2.35.
From a Daily perspective, RBOB is pulling back from the 2.55 highs. Next levels of support on the Daily Chart is seen around the 2.10 price level.
Technical Indicators
On the 4-Hour Chart the moving averages (MAs) are above the RBOB price. Also there have been negative crossovers on the short (50-MA), medium (100-MA) and long (200-MA) fractal moving averages. The RSI is below 50 with the KST recently having a negative crossover.
Recommendation
The recommendation will be to go short at market, with a stop loss at 2.35 and a target of 2. This produces a risk/reward ratio of 3.39.

Oil Attempts a RallyOil has rallied, breaking several resistance levels in the 76, and 77 handles. We have tested 78.90, but appear to be rejecting it. There are several red triangles on the KRI here, indicating strong resistance. Currently, we are in the middle of the range between 77.56 and 78.90. The Kovach OBV has leveled off suggesting we are seeking to establish value here. If we continue to rally and break 78.90, then the next target is 80.00, a significant psychological and technical level. From below 77.56, 76.93, and 76.16 should provide support.
ng buyThe world is demanding energy for an economic recovery and a winter in Europe.
Natural gas prices have been rising in recent months, due to the great demand for various factors, including the search for and implementation of cleaner energies, in this process some countries such as China are entering a stage of de-carbonization, In China's attempt to gradually reduce the use of coal, natural gas is becoming more in demand, the key factor behind the rise in natural gas prices is its demand, the European Union is also stopping the use of coal and needs to supply This energy need with other means, until generating a dependence on natural gas, this benefits Russia a lot since they are one of the largest gas producers and as in OPEC they can manipulate the supply, in some geopolitical scenarios it would benefit them to pressure the European Union in certain gas pipeline projects.

Gasoline Price is breaking the Resistance zone at 2.50 ! Prices are soaring amid a spike in the price of oil, which is refined into gas for cars. The national average price of gas has been at a seven-year high in recent days. Technically price is breaking the next key zone and going up. Price has touched this key zone multiple times since 2011:
04-Oct-2011, 23-Nov-2011, 19-Dec-2011, 29-Jun-2012, 07-Nov-2013, 15-Sep-2014.
Price has reached to critical zone, highest level since 2018As oil and gasoline prices spike in the world, Canadian dollar is getting stronger again. Right now, as you can see on CAD/JPY chart , price has entered the critical zone again. This is the forth time since 2017 that price reaches to this zone. Price behavior is very important here. Will gas, oil and commodities help Canadian Dollar to get stronger , break the zone and goes back to its wonderful days on 2014-2016 ? On the other side, Justin Trudeaus government is facing with a massive deficit, highest inflation rate since 2003 and vast volume of money printing which have made Canadian Dollar weaker than ever. Will positive factor overcome negative factors?

Gasoline Down to $2.175Oil, Gasoline etc quite over bought, we need a correction.
Lets take this down to 2.175 and re assess. i imagine there will be a pause there before any further falls.
Dont expect downward movement to last long though, oil is very strong generally... so its quite risky shorting, but i can let this opportunity go with a tight stop loss.
GASOLINE - Down Trend is not your Friend!Looking at the chart, lower highs and lower lows. With that said, hurricane season is around the corner, and the 330k bpd plant in Phili just went up in flames. They lost their Alky unit which produces a boat load of gasoline. I would gamble on this spread in the near term, but have a small position. The reason being the economy is slowing and less gasoline might just be what the market demands.
Supply chaos comes to oilCrude above red line has failed multiple times, but, you can see the 'rising lows' that are now crowding the red line.
My thesis has supply chaos (that is happening everywhere we look) coming to the energy space.
If this becomes true:
--Long XOP stocks
--Long TSLA
--Short IWM
