Brent Crude Oil Shooort!Based on the previous analysis I had done, it seems that this commodity might test the lower trend line of the pennant pattern.
Considering that it is consolidating as for now, a sell entry position can be entered at around 80.80, when the price breaks out,
Let us wait as for now to gain more clarity.
USOIL / Bearish confirmation toward 79.49 Technical Analysis: USOIL
Current Outlook:
The price is expected to touch 80.70 and then consolidate between 80.70 and 81.70 until a breakout occurs.
Bullish Scenario:
For a bullish trend to be established, the price should reverse and stabilize above 82.27, targeting 82.25 and 84.14. There is also a possibility of a bullish retest up to 81.70.
Bearish Scenario :
As long as the price trades below 81.70, it will likely drop to 79.50. The price needs to break below 80.70 to confirm the bearish trend, ideally closing a 1-hour candle under this level.
Key Levels:
- Pivot Line: 81.22
- Support Levels: 79.49, 77.94, 75.35
- Resistance Levels: 81.72, 82.24, 84.14
Today's Expected Range:
The price is anticipated to move between the support at 79.49 and the resistance at 82.15.

USOIL BEST PLACE TO SELL FROM|SHORT
Hello, Friends!
USOIL is making a bullish rebound on the 1H TF and is nearing the resistance line above while we are generally bearish biased on the pair due to our previous 1W candle analysis, thus making a trend-following short a good option for us with the target being the 76.54 level.

WTI Oil - 4HWTI oil completed its second bullish leg and has now formed a reversal setup. The price action shows that WTI missed the ascending channel support and is currently consolidating below the previous support zone, which has now turned into a resistance level. This suggests a potential bearish outlook as the price struggles to regain upward momentum.
With the recent break of the ascending channel, it is expected that WTI may continue its downward trajectory. The consolidation under the new resistance zone indicates seller strength, and further declines could be seen if the price fails to break back above this resistance. Traders should watch for key support levels around $81 and $78 for potential buy signals or continuation of the bearish trend.
WTI rebounds after larger crude drawdownAfter falling sharply in the last few days, crude oil prices were trying to form support as WTI tested its technically-important 200-day average following the release of US oil inventories data. The data showed a larger-than-expected drawdown of 3.7 million barrels on the headline front. Stocks of oil products (gasoline and distillates) and crude inventories at Cushing all showed drawdowns too. In theory, oil prices should find some support on the back of these numbers. However, with global economic data remaining soft this week, demand concerns continue to hold back oil prices. So, a clear bullish signal is needed to encourage the bulls to step back in on oil.
If we see any distinct bullish reversal signals on WTI or Brent, then this would suggest that at least some buying could be on the way in the days ahead, as the previous selling pressure is potentially replaced by buying. Let’s see if that happens today.

Macro Monday 56~Venezuela - Democracy Beacons Economic Reform Macro Monday 56
Venezuela - Democracy Beacons Economic Reform
As one of the core members of OPEC, Venezuela holds the distinction of having the largest oil reserves in the world with over 304 billion barrels beneath its surface. This is marginally more than the Saudi Arabia oil reserves.
If you ever wondered where the largest oil reserves in the whole world where, they are located on the Orinoco Oil Belt in Central Venezuela.
Unfortunately Venezuela has suffered from political and economic factors that hasn’t allowed the country and its people to benefit from this large natural resource. A national election on the 28th July 2024 has the potential to change everything and allow Venezuelans to form a democratic government. This has the promise of leading the country into a new positive social and economic epoch.
Venezuela’s oil production plummeted by c.75% over the past ten years, largely due to political missteps. The current administrations illegal expropriations of foreign oil and gas assets were a major red flag for potential investors. Additionally, Venezuela’s poor governance, mismanagement, and U.S. sanctions have contributed to a drastic decline in oil output. In September 2023, Venezuela produced only 735,000 barrels per day, making it the 10th-largest producer in OPEC despite it being the largest global oil reserve. The situation highlights the some challenges faced by petrostates that heavily rely on oil exports and their governance over it.
Path to Democracy calls for International Support
Venezuela stands at a critical juncture, with the potential for a historic return to democracy by way of national election on 28th July 2024.
The opposition has rallied behind a leading candidate, Edmundo González of the Democratic Unity Platform (PUD) for the upcoming national election. He has taken the place of the former disqualified Maria Corina Machado (unfairly ousted by the incumbent). The incumbent President Nicolás Maduro remains a significant obstacle and still gains support from a Chavista Base.
The Chavista Base refers to the loyal supporters of Chavismo, a left-wing populist political ideology associated with the late Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. These supporters are committed to strong socialist ideas, programs, and government style that characterized Chávez’s rule from 1999 to 2013. Despite international pressure, sanctions and disapproval, this group remains fiercely loyal to the Chavista movement and its successor, President Nicolás Maduro. The opposition Edmundo González, has been leading the polls by over 20 - 40 points and thus the people of Venezuela are calling out for change having suffered under the socialist regime.
Maduro's regime has arguably eroded democracy and has been the cause of significant economic pitfalls, and social unrest. To support Venezuelans’ fight for democracy, the United States may offer a legal off-ramp for Maduro and his allies, ensuring they won’t face prosecution if they recognize electoral defeat. This approach has worked in other countries like South Africa and Chile, after which both countries could move forward constructively and relatively peacefully. This approach could allow for a peaceful transition to democracy in Venezuela. A democratic Venezuela would benefit U.S. foreign policy, limit migration to the U.S, and reduce the influence of Russia and China in the South Americas via pacts like the BRICS. Previous efforts to achieve the off-ramp approach in Venezuela have failed, however the opposition leader González is ahead in most polls and the election is days away. With some international pressure/support, this could be a major moment for Venezuela, opening up the country and its resources to operate under a free market, allowing for competitive growth, innovation freedom, consumer sovereignty and free flowing export economy.
Exports
Venezuela is historically highly dependent on its petroleum oil exports. Crude oil, in particular, has been the primary driver of its export revenue. In recent years, Venezuela’s top exports include:
1. Mineral fuels including oil: This category represents 26.1% of total exports.
2. Iron and steel: Comprising 21% of exports.
3. Organic chemicals: Accounting for 9.9% of exports.
4. Aluminum: Representing 8.4% of exports.
5. Fish: Contributing 7.5% to export value.
These products collectively account for 88.1% of Venezuela’s global shipments. Notably, mineral fuels (especially crude oil) have experienced significant growth in recent years. China, Turkey, Spain, the U.S., and Brazil are among Venezuela’s main export partners.
Blooming Tourism Sector
In 2023 Venezuela experienced a remarkable resurgence in international tourism. The country welcomed 1.25 million foreign visitors, marking a 90% increase compared to the previous year when 656,000 people arrived. While specific revenue figures for 2023 are not readily available, this surge in tourist arrivals indicates a positive trend for the Venezuelan tourism sector.
I thought id mention just just a few attractions:
1.Angel Falls: Located in Canaima National Park, Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in the world, dropping 979 meters. Best seen during the rainy season (May to November) when water flow is abundant.
2.Los Roques Archipelago: This chain of islands, 160 kilometres north of the central coast, offers sun-drenched beaches, turquoise waters, and coral reefs. It’s a paradise for beach lovers and nature enthusiasts.

Summary
I cannot recommend taking an entry on the above chart and regardless, it would be incredibly difficult to do so with sanctions in place and the political turmoil that is yet to be resolved. However, a major date is approaching for the national election this coming Sunday 28th July 2024 , and it could be the beginning of a monumental positive shift for the future of Venezuela’s economy. We can only watch from afar and not forget that this country boasts thee largest oil reserves in the world, has a blooming tourism scene with some of the most unique tourist attractions, and a varied export economy. Somewhere in the future there will likely be great opportunity in Venezuela, however for the moment we await the shifting winds of democracy to catch the Venezuelan sails. Lets see what happens this Sunday.

WTI OIL Correction is over. Buy strongly.WTI Oil (USOIL) followed our July 02 (see chart below) sell signal to perfection as it got rejected on the Lower Highs trend-line and Resistance 1 and broke today below the 0.618 Fib, hitting our 77.00 Target in the process:
For that projection we used the February 05 Low as a benchmark, which also hit the 0.618 Fib and rebounded on the 1W MA200 (red trend-line). That has been the multi-year Support level for WTI, so we currently won't get a better long-term buy signal than this.
As a result, we are now turning bullish again on Crude, targeting the -0.5 Fib extension (as on the April 05 High) at 90.50.
Note also that the 1D RSI is almost oversold at 30.00, a clear cyclical buy signal in the recent past (green circles).

Oil Prices Plunge Amid Global UncertaintyCurrent Price Movement:
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures on the NYMEX have extended their downside, trading below $78.00. This decline is primarily driven by concerns over China's economic outlook and political uncertainty in the United States.
Factors Influencing the Oil Price:
China’s Economic Concerns:
The People's Bank of China (PBoC) unexpectedly reduced its Loan Prime Rate by 10 basis points to 3.35% (one-year) and 3.85% (five-year).
This rate cut follows weaker-than-expected Q2 GDP growth of 0.7%, below estimates of 1.1% and previous figures of 1.5%.
As the world's largest oil importer, China’s economic slowdown raises concerns about future oil demand, exerting downward pressure on prices.
Supply Outlook:
Morgan Stanley forecasts an increase in oil supply by 2.5 million barrels per day by 2025 from OPEC and non-OPEC producers.
The anticipated supply growth exceeds demand growth projections, contributing to the easing of tight market fears and further weakening oil prices.
US Political Uncertainty:
The potential nomination of Kamala Harris as the Democratic leader and speculation about Donald Trump’s potential victory in the upcoming presidential election have created political uncertainty.
Trump’s promise to increase US oil production if elected could lead to a future increase in supply, adding downward pressure on oil prices.
The US Dollar Index (DXY) has edged lower amidst this political uncertainty, affecting oil prices inversely.
Global Economic Indicators:
Preliminary S&P Global Manufacturing PMI data from various nations are expected to provide insights into the global demand outlook, which will further influence oil prices.
Canadian Dollar (CAD) Dynamics:
The USD/CAD pair has risen to near 1.3750, influenced by the sharp correction in oil prices.
Canada, being a leading oil supplier to the US, sees its currency affected by oil price movements. The weakening CAD amidst declining oil prices reflects this relationship.
Expectations of the Bank of Canada (BoC) cutting interest rates by 25 basis points to 4.5% due to easing price pressures and a cooling labor market also impact the CAD.
US Economic Data:
The trajectory of the US Dollar will be influenced by upcoming US economic data, providing clues about the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions.
Political developments, such as the withdrawal of Joe Biden's re-election bid, have added to the uncertainty, impacting the DXY and, consequently, oil prices.

Crude Oil hit Major Resistance, 10% Down until early AugustIn my latest analysis of the Crude Oil Futures ( NYMEX:CL1! ) market, I've identified key medium-term resistance and support levels. The resistance at $84.30 was ideal for a short position, with a trailing-stop set at $83.80 to manage risk. My target for this short position is $74.50, suggesting a significant profit potential of over 10%. Considering that most significant downtrends in oil take about 20 days, I expect the price to reach $74.50 around the end of July or early August.
I also noticed consolidation zones between $82.00 and $77.00, which may cause temporary price consolidation. The medium-term support at $74.50 is crucial for considering a long position, indicating a possible upward reversal.
My strategy is to short at $84.30 (already done) with a stop-loss at $83.80 (to minimize losses) and aim for a profit at $74.50, while closely monitoring the consolidation zones for any signs of price stalling or reversal. If all goes according my plan, I also might consider a long position at around $74.
What is your take on OIL for the next month?
Summary of Bullish Outlook for (WTI) OilSeveral factors are contributing to a bullish outlook for West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil prices in the near future:
1. **Rising Global Demand**: As major economies recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, industrial and transportation activities are increasing, particularly in Asia with significant contributions from China and India.
2. **Production Cuts**: OPEC and its allies (OPEC+) continue to implement production cuts to stabilize and boost oil prices, preventing significant declines.
3. **Declining Oil Inventories**: Recent reports show a notable decrease in oil inventories in the United States and other countries, indicating higher consumption and demand in the market.
4. **Geopolitical Tensions**: Instability in oil-producing regions such as the Middle East and North Africa can lead to supply concerns and price increases.
5. **Investment in Alternative Energies**: While the long-term shift to renewable energy sources may reduce oil demand, short-term transitions and policy changes can cause price volatility and increases.
### Conclusion
Given these factors, the outlook for WTI oil prices is bullish. Investors and analysts should closely monitor these dynamics to make informed decisions in the oil market.
