Oil continues to ascend within the upward-sloping channelWest Texas Intermediate crude oil regained a bullish momentum and managed to establish a new high at $81.58, which marks the highest value in over four months. Additionally, RSI, MACD, and Stochastic all moved higher on the daily chart. These developments are positive for oil and bolster a bullish case in the short term and medium term. However, while it is possible that oil might reach $85 per barrel (or perhaps even $90, depending on the global economy, oil supply/demand dynamics, and the situation in the Middle East), we are skeptical about such high price tags as $100 per barrel in the coming months. In our opinion, the United States will continue to ramp up its production against OPEC, which is trying to balance the market by cutting its own production quotas. Furthermore, the declining industrial and manufacturing production in Europe and the United States is likely to continue holding a lid over rising oil prices. Consequently, at the moment, we see very limited upside for oil. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the ADX’s daily chart, which reflects the trend’s momentum.

Bullish trend is still relatively weakWest Texas Intermediate crude oil continues to trade within the upward-sloping channel. However, its bullish trend remains weak, as reflected in the relatively low (but growing) value of ADX (on the daily time frame). In the past two trading sessions, the daily RSI continued to flatten, Stochastic turned lower, and MACD performed a bearish crossover while staying above the midpoint. With these developments unfolding, we pay close attention to the 20-day SMA and resistance levels at $79.25 and $79.72. The price’s ability to retest these resistance levels and ideally maintain a ground above them will bolster a bullish case in the short term. In contrast, a breakdown below the 20-day SMA might hint at oil wanting to slide toward the channel's lower bound. Illustration 1.01 Illustration 1.01 shows the daily graph of USOIL and two simple moving averages. The yellow arrow indicates the oil’s recent retracement toward its 20-day SMA, which acts as a support. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 shows the daily MACD. The yellow arrow highlights a bearish crossover between the MACD and signal lines. While this is slightly bearish, it is important to note that MACD remains in the bullish territory. Illustration 1.03 The chart above illustrates simple support/resistance levels derived from past peaks and troughs; one more alternative resistance lies at $79.72.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Short to 50% Fibo level 75.49.Dear colleagues, the price resumed the impulsive upward movement. I assume that this movement is wave 1 and it will end soon. Perhaps we will see the beginning of wave 2 today from current levels, but a more conservative and favorable entry will be from the resistance area at 79.37. In any case, I expect the price in the area of 50% Fibonacci level 75.49. Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!

Hellena | Oil (4H): Long to 50% Fibo lvl 74.32. Dear Colleagues. The price has shown strong momentum. In the coming week I assume that the price will start an upward movement, as a result of which I expect the price in the area of 50% Fibonacci level 74.32. Last week's strong movement makes us re-draw the waves, but for this the price should make a correction to our target. Manage your capital correctly and competently!

Hopes for higher oil price are getting shatteredThe hopes for higher oil prices were shattered last week with the announcement of a potential Hamas-Israel ceasefire deal, which led to a quick selloff in the oil market. Following the invalidation of a bullish breakout above $76.14, the price of oil kept sliding lower, finally hitting a low of $71.43 yesterday. Currently, the WTI crude oil trades close to $72.80 per barrel, and we pay attention to RSI, MACD, and Stochastic on the daily chart. All of these indicators began to reverse to the downside after the news hit the market, with RSI and Stochastic building bearish structures and MACD attempting to retrace back below the midpoint. If the MACD succeeds, it will bolster a bearish case in the short term. The same will apply to RSI and Stochastic continuing to develop bearish structures. However, as the ADX remains relatively low on the daily time frame, it is suggestive that there is a lack of any trend whatsoever. With this assessment, it is likely that WTI oil will continue to trade within the range between $68 and $75 in the foreseeable future. Illustration 1.01 The image above portrays the daily chart of the USOIL’s MACD. A breakout below the midpoint will bolster a bearish case in the short term and elevate the odds of a breakdown below $70 per barrel.

Geopolitical tensions are starting to weigh on oil pricesThe United States’ decision to conduct airstrikes earlier this week against targets in Somalia and Yemen provoked more aggression from Houthi rebels, who engaged in multiple new attacks against commercial vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Following that, Yemen’s rebels claimed a successful hit to the U.S. military ship, which the United States quickly denied. Despite months of ongoing attacks on ships passing through the strait, there have not been any reports of casualties. However, the odds of a fatal tragedy are growing together with the increasing intensity of Houthi’s attacks. Such an event would likely elevate tensions to a new level and put significant pressure on the United States government to act. In the scope of this worsening crisis, the odds of higher oil prices are climbing. On the technical side, some developments suggest oil might be prime for a run higher as well; the MACD crossed into bullish territory on the daily graph, and RSI and Stochastic continue to build bullish structures. Nonetheless, one thing to note is that the ADX is still relatively low, hinting the trend is very weak. Therefore, it might be proper to wait and see whether the USOIL manages to close above $76.14 for at least two consecutive days before committing to a bullish outlook. Illustration 1.01 The image above shows the MACD breaking above the midpoint on the daily time frame. Illustration 1.02 Illustration 1.02 displays the daily chart of the USOIL and simple support/resistance levels derived from peaks and troughs. An important level to watch is support at $76.14. If the USOIL manages to make another two consecutive closes above this level, it will bolster the bullish odds.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Long to resistance area 79.37 (Wave C).Dear Colleagues, after a long analysis, I suggest that the upward movement is not over yet. At the moment I suppose that the price is in wave C and should update the maximum of wave A 76.00, but to do this is not easy. The price should meet resistance and I see such a level - it is the resistance area at 79.37. I suppose that the price can make a small correction before the upward movement.

Crude oil could rally from $72Price action has been very choppy on the daily crude oil chart, but if we place a line chart over the top is shows prices are trying to break out of a small triangle / pennant. Whilst these are usually expected to be continuation pattern, they can also make decent reversal pattern. And this case, we've see prices hold above $70 on a closing basis, and the lower candle wicks made a series of higher lows. Momentum is now turning higher. Bulls could seek dips down to $72 (yesterday's low) or a break of its high, with an upside target around $78, near the 200-day MA and 100-day EMA.

a daily price action after hour update - wti crude oilGood evening and i hope you are well. Here is a quote from my substack on Monday about oil: "Most interesting market today. I do believe its a breakout of the bear channel, beginning 2023-09, if bulls can generate follow through tomorrow/Wednesday. The trend line on higher time frames is more of an area than a narrow line with exact prices. But we are there and had a strong bull day. This could be leg 2 of a 3 legged move and a measured move target could bring us to around 80 again. That would certainly make a whole lot of bears cover and fuel the rally probably further. I’d be very cautious with shorts here and look for strength. short term: sideways to up" Being prepared pays. Daily close above 75 and market is accelerating. 80 is my next target but i don’t think we get there without a pullback first. PB could be deep to the lower bull wedge around 75.5 but if we get there, the odds that it holds are excellent. short term: very short term, sideways to down but ultimately bullish for target 80. from there i wait for market to show new impulse. medium-long term: up trade of the day: that 1h 20ema held since Wednesday before us open. look for longs.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Long to resistance area of 76.08.Dear Colleagues. I hope you listened to my advice and took a great profit from the last forecast. And now I am considering the continuation of the upward movement. I suppose that the price will reach at least the resistance area of 76.08. Before this movement it is possible to form a corrective wave 2 in the area of 50%-61.8% Fibonacci levels of 71.66. Manage your capital correctly and competently!

Time to Brace for GDP (and USD) Downside Surprise?Time to Brace for GDP (and USD) Downside Surprise? This Thursday marks the release of the initial estimate for the fourth quarter of 2023 GDP in the United States. If predictions hold true, there will be a noticeable deceleration in economic growth, with the market anticipating an annualized growth rate of 2%, a significant drop from the previous quarter's 4.9%. This slowdown underscores the impact of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes on the economy. Chief economist Ian Shepherdson from Pantheon Macroeconomics suggests a higher likelihood of a downside surprise in the GDP figures, potentially leading to a decrease in the US dollar. Commodity currencies might be some of the best to watch in this scenario, with US oil hitting prices not seen since Christmas 2023. However, not all banks share Shepherdson’s viewpoint. Here are the growth expectations from some major banks: ING: 2.5% Deutsche Bank: 2.3% Wells Fargo: 1.7% Goldman Sachs: 2.1% Citi: 2.0%
