A DOWNWARD TREND IN OIL PRICE DESPITE OPEC CUT=$70 PER BARRELWhat appeared to be an action to trigger the rise of crude price by OPEC seems not to work as any further bearish candle below my counter trend will see the oil price fall up to $70 per crude as against $110 earlier anticipated because of the bullish momentum of last week.
As a smart money trader, i will be monitoring this till later part of Monday trading day.
WTI OIL, D1 - Time for next leg up?Price of WTI OIL broke from falling wedge pattern and retested it. So possible further move up towards two Fibo clusters:
- 50%+61.8% - at ca. 98.7
- 61.8+78.6 - at ca. 105.
There might be short-term corrective move. Trade carefully!

Macro and TA is making Oil look ripe for an upward moveMacroeconomic trends with a rough heating season for Europe, the continued war in Ukraine, the internal troubles in Iran, and the most recent OPEC+ meeting makes the macro position for Oil look bullish.
Looking at the charts it looks likely that oil will challenge the downward trend that has persisted recent months and coming two days let us know if it'll begin a bullish upwards trend.
WTI analysis: Will OPEC+ cuts boost crude to $100?OPEC+ has taken a tough stance, slashing output by 2 million barrels per day (bpd) beginning in November 2022, the largest reduction in crude oil production since March 2020.
In addition to production extending the agreement through 2023, oil producers have agreed to hold semiannual rather than monthly meetings.
WTI oil briefly spiked to $87/bbl following the OPEC+ announcement. It then broke through that level in response to disappointing US crude oil inventory data (-1.36 million barrels vs. 2.05 expected) and a strong US ISM Services PMI, which delayed recessionary warning signs following the weak ISM Manufacturing PMI earlier this week.
The move by OPEC+ risks putting renewed pressure on crude oil’s global supply-demand balance in the coming months, potentially resulting in a price floor at pre-OPEC+ meeting levels.
On a technical level, WTI crude and (also Brent) prices are currently testing a key resistance area, defined by the 50-day moving average and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level of the range between September lows and June highs.
A sharp break above this resistance zone and then the $90/bbl level (September highs) could put additional upward pressure on an extension towards the 50% of the Fibonacci level ($98.6/bbl) and then $100/bbl.

How Iran's nuclear deal could crush sure of victory oil bullsOPEC wants to support the oil price by reducing production. At the same time, we hear from Iran that the nuclear agreement talks are progressing, if the talks are a success, in the near future Iran could again export oil to the wider world.
Last week we heard from the U.S. side that an agreement with Iran could not be reached. Today Iran has released a U.S. American (accused of spying) and yesterday announced that the talks in regards to the nuclear deal are (well) progressing and they could soon access their sanctioned funds. Coincidences? There aren't. Looks like europe/U.S & Iran are very close to sign an agreement, which might surprise oil bulls. If Iran resumed large scale exports, all OPEC members would come under very heavy pressure.
I expect the price to rise until a potential iran nuclear agreement is forged, and if forged, leading to a potential oversupply of oil and an avoid of recession (global/europe)

USOIL GAPPED UPsince market opened oil gapped up into a bearish order block on the 1hr, 4hr, and also daily. The trendline also still holding under the last lower high so even more confluence im looking for a nice move down it could retrace after filling that low or just keep pushing down since bias is still overall bearish
OIL BEARISH DOWNTREND $$$Oil has been consistently declining since its last top, trading in a descending channel with lower highs and lower lows. I've highlighted the key areas of support and resistance for oil to help you see the broader picture. You may take advantage of this if you want to swing trade in the channel.
OIL - Still in bearishAlthough oil price rebounded yesterday, there is not enough momentum for keeping the uptrend. The overall trend is still downward.
From the H4 chart, the lower high after it breaks the 82 level also shows that oil prices as a whole continue to remain bearish.
I think it would be better to stay patient and wait for a pullback to enter the market.
for short orders💎short target at 75.5

Crude Oil since the US Presidential Election vs UkraineJust a commentary about President Biden's Press Secretary saying that the Ukraine situation has caused oil prices to be elevated.
The advance from the lockdown/reopening may have been a much more important factor in the current market price.
The fear that investments in new oil refining wouldn't generate a return with an administration vehemently against oil has prevented projects from getting funded. Projects have a long time line from start to finish, measured in years.
The price had tumbled to generational buy levels in the wake of the Covid Lockdown response and economic stagnation in 2020-2021. So the natural rebound would have taken us back to this level anyway.
It's an interesting picture to see how the market moved versus how people are saying the market has moved.
IF the price goes back UNDER the Ukraine level of February 24th, then you can rightly assume that a large correction and wipe-out of speculators is underway.
The idea of this chart is that NEWS is important to graph so you can see the level where it happened. That NEWS level will be key on any future revisits to that level. It is the foundational idea behind "Key Hidden Levels" where we graph the Earnings Day on our charts to help us define low risk, high reward potential trade setups.

SHORT OILOIL USD broke its weekly uptrend channel at $95 which was formed since May 2020 and which confirms we are in a correction downtrend phase.
Currently, expected correction target is into the demand / support zone around area $60.
The Proper Perspective on InflationAs any true trader knows, the inflation rate DID NOT GO UP 8.3%. That is what some retail news outlets claimed "year-over-year," which is plain misinformation. The retail news was designed to trigger a panic dump among the less informed last week.
FACT: The rise in inflation started in late 2020, not this year.
FACT: The rise in 2021 went to 7%. But the news seldom mentioned it last year. Nope, it was all about vaccines and Covid, etc.
The inflation rate went down. It has been trending downward at a sustainable rate. Anyone who thought it would be lower was not paying attention. There is a 3-month decline, and it is due to falling oil prices which were constantly boosted upward during August by the big banks trying to move more investors into buying oil stocks. So, with fluctuating prices of oil between 80 - 92, there was NO WAY inflation would tick down to 8.1%.
In August of 2021, inflation had already risen to 5.3%. Now in 2022, it has dropped to 8.3% from the peak of 9.1% in June. So it's 3 points higher than a year ago, obviously not 8.3 points higher.
During the pandemic of 2020, the news about the Federal Reserve Board was all lathered up about deflation, that deflation was about to happen, and the world was coming to an end!!!! Sigh. Some people just have to have bad news to feel good, I guess.
Oil and the war in Ukraine, which appears to be settling down with the Ukrainians taking back what is rightly their country, has lowered oil prices from $125 to 80-90, fluctuating regularly. Oil needs to drop to 70-80 for inflation to move down more.
Slow improvement is how it is going to be. To assume inflation would just drop back to 2% is irrational and illogical.
What is an ideal rate? For an expanding economy: around 4-5%.
See that red arrow? That should be the goal. It probably is not, but it should be. Inflation lower than that indicates a sluggish economy with a lack of raises for the workforce. When inflation is not in the economy, corporations use buybacks to boost their stock prices, which creates fake rallies.
USOIL WTI Crude Oil - Trend UpThe chart may suggest a next move for US WTI Crude Oil Price. When the ongoing price correction which may lead to $80/bbl area satisfied market sentiment, price may start to enter a bull demand for crude oil.
The eventual short to medium term target may be to as high as $150/bbl, meanwhile sustain trading below $75/bbl destroy this scenario which may take crude price to much lower.
The oil market bows to the tactical strategy of the FEDSpeculators and oil giants seized the moment to maximize their oil profits the past months. With a mixture of war fears, supply fears and the increased demand for crude oil after the Corone pandemic and bad supply chains, a broad panic wave had broken out.
Let's have a short overview about the current situation:
Europe's situation: With India and China importing massive amounts of oil from Russia at very favorable conditions, capacity is freed up on the world market. The new routes have now established themselves, an equilibrium in price and efficiency has now settled in. The same applies to LNG.
Global Supply Chains: They are healing, freight costs are falling, although demand for freight containers remains consistently high, as do increased kerosene prices. An equilibrium is more or less reached.
Wars and conflicts due to lack of food : The grain agreement for fertilizer and grain exports from Ukraine has improved the situation on the world market and avoided narratives for conflicts in poor countries that might lower down oil exports.
Summer session is over : As is known, midsummer is the time when most people in the world travel, especially now after the corona pandemic, many people left by car or plane for the first time since years. The season high is over.
The FED is just trying its best to lower the price below a tactical zone so that speculators are technically afraid to long oil markets. This is to mitigate a price-oil spiral. I expect we will see a 75bps interest hike this month as well to push oil prices below the MA trend lines. Oil prices will fall another good 20-40% in the coming months. There is no way the FED will allow it to pop back above 100$ for the next months, otherwise the mild recession might become a deeper one.

Sitting on a strong support Oil hit this support more than five times and it respected this support so if we received candle confirmation above the support rectangle (the green one) we can long oil
But if it closed under the support wait for retest and then we can go short.
Good luck all if you like my idea like it and comment your opinion 🍀💰😊
