USDCHF: Dollar Steadies Ahead of Midterm ElectionsAs the risk aversion theme is gaining steam, the powerful US dollar index (DXY) has renewed its day's high at 110.40. The S&P500 futures' modest gains have been reduced as risk appetite declines. After Thomas Barkin, president of the Richmond Federal Reserve (Fed), provided hawkish guidance, the yield on the 10-year US Treasury increased to 4.23%.
Investors are currently preparing for the release of the CPI report for October. Aside from this, the CME FedWatch Tool indicates that money market futures anticipate the US Federal Reserve will raise rates by 50 basis points (50% chance of doing so, 48% chance for 75 basis points).
The outcome of the US midterm elections will have a big impact on the powerful DXY and show how stable the political environment is for the economy. Consequently, the race for 34 Senate seats and 435 House of Representative seats will be closely watched.
The markets kept an eye out for policy cues from China, a major trading partner, to see if it was thinking about easing up on its zero-Covid policy.
Brent could trade higher only if...Energy prices climbed on Friday as Brent reached the 92.60 price level and WTI climbed a high of 98.75. This move higher was due to the weakness of the DXY and the anticipation that China was ready to reopen borders, spurring demand for oil.
However, as China reiterates its intention to maintain its current Covid policy, both Brent and WTI are retracing lower from last week’s climb higher. Look for the completion of the retracement before a continuation of the uptrend.
The prices could test the key resistance level of 97.00 for WTI and 102.00 for Brent, if prices clear above the immediate resistance of 94.00 and 100 respectively.
Weekly Oil Report: More Bullishness by New IEA ReportsOctober, as expected, brought oil growth after 4 months of fall. November also opened with positive sentiments. During its first week, crude oil grew by 4.71 %.
The volume and MACD are showing slight weakness in bulls. We might see oil moving a bit more slowly during the week.
With the supply issues at the moment, oil can stay in the channel of 90

Uncertainty by Mixed Signals Hit Traders AgainOn the weekly chart of WTI, uncertainty is clear in the last candle. Buyers and sellers were both indecisive.
On the daily chart, the MACD indicator seems to be crossing and changing the phase. Oil might open lower on Monday but it is possible to see volatilities throughout the week.
The recession is nearly the strongest bearish factor holding oil prices down. The dollar index is increasing and it brings more fear to the markets.
CRUDE OIL (WTI) Trading Plan For Next Week 🛢
Hey traders,
WTI Crude Oil has recently reached a key daily structure support.
The market is currently stuck within a horizontal range.
To catch the next trend-following move, watch 81.85 - 83.4 horizontal demand zone.
Wait for its bearish breakout next week - daily candle close below that, then sell aggressively or on a retest.
Targets will be 79.7 / 76.5
Alternatively, a bullish breakout of the underlined resistance may trigger a bullish movement.
Good luck next week!

WTI oil - Deteriorating demand to weight on the higher oil priceSince our short-term price target of 80 USD was taken out a few weeks ago, we abstained from setting short and medium-term price targets because of very high volatility in the oil market. Despite that, we stuck to the long-term price target of 70 USD, to which we remain committed.
Our views are based mainly on fundamental factors concerning the deteriorating global demand for oil, with the OPEC slashing demand for 2023 and China maintaining its zero covid policy for longer.

Is Crude Oil - WTI Really on a Hike?In the daily chart of WTI, we can detect a hidden divergence in MACD and price. Friday’s movement was strong but it was not significant to the strong yearly pivot resistance and stayed below 200 MA. It can be only a fake breakout. Yet, we shall observe every new detail closely.
If it fails at the resistance, be prepared to go short. Unless the fundamentals of the Ukraine war take over and the panic pulls up the chart.

oil decision timeoil is at a key key level here we did get a bullish break of the trend line but its right into a key level so price has to make a decision soon overall trend is down but oil did hit a major low on that up move so if this level holds we can see a move back down to atleast fill that gap around 80$
now if price breaks above here we can see push towards 86$ level b4 any bearish push these next few closes are important for oil
