With multiple positive support, oil prices are expected to rise?Although the major oil-producing countries have implemented production cuts to give some support to crude oil, the demand for crude oil is not too strong because the economic recovery may be much slower than originally expected.Because when market demand surges, OPEC does not need to cut production significantly, so oil prices may not rise further, but will continue to fall.
On the daily chart of crude oil, in view of the surge and fall of oil prices on Monday, and the failure to break through the pressure of the strong resistance area upward for a long time, oil prices at this position are at risk of short-term volatility and peak, and the phased replenishment of the gap has not yet been completed, so compared with the top, there is still a lot of space below, so once the upward energy of crude oil is exhausted, you need to seek new technical support downwards.
Short-term trading reference:
Sell crude oil above 80.2, take profit level 79.4

OPEC-Plus made a surprise announcement to reduce oil production starting May. Unlike OPEC, OPEC-Plus involve many more countries. This signals a synchronise effort to boost crude oil prices. Expect a much higher oil prices to come. (Fundamental)

WTI OIL for 10-14 April 2023WTI Oil is still goes on the sideways for a couples of days and might continue this week, in case of a bearish momentum, 76.00 level would be a good buying opportunity. If trading limit your trades between 79.00 to 82.00 level and any breakout or breakdown on this level would need a very severe Stop loss if in a position on a different way. Nonetheless, remain vigilant on the coming weeks for another surprise move of WTI oil.
Oil ScenarioThe oil market expectation is at 100 $ per barrel.
Market psychology could be a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Let's see about that.
The Saudis cutting output by approx 1.2 million barrels a day could push the prices up, which supplies more inflation worries and recessionary pressure on the markets.
WTI CRUDE OIL Top formation like all others since DecemberWTI Crude Oil is forming a Top pattern, which is similar to all peaks since December.
The RSI (4h) crossed below the Rising Support, which is the first sell signal on peak formations.
Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price.
Targets:
1. 74.00 (top of the Symmetric Support Zone).
Tips:
1. Four out of five previous Tops formed around a Golden Cross (4h) pattern. Such was formed 2 days ago.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Best Sell inside the 4 month Resistance ZoneWTI Crude Oil reached the R1 Zone following OPEC, while getting very close to the top of the multimonth Channel Down. The technicals on the 4H time frame got overbought but have dropped below the barrier since (RSI = 68.376, MACD = 20.40, ADX = 40.224) indicating the first signs of sell bias.
The Sell trigger perhaps can be given when the RSI crosses under the HL trend line. The previous crosses over the LH trend lines, were trend reversals. Also we just formed a 4H Golden Cross and for the past year, that formation has emerged near market peaks.
As a result we now turn bearish on WTI and target the 0.786 Fibonacci (TP = 69.00).

WTI CRUDE OIL Best sell position inside this 8 month patternWTI Crude Oil is approaching Resistance (1) at 83.50 after OPEC cuts.
The MA200 (1d) is almost there at 83.97 and has been untouched since August 30th.
The pattern is a Channel Up and its top is only a little over Resistance (1).
Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price as the above three levels form the strongest Resistance Zone possible.
Targets:
1. 67.00 initially (Support 1).
Tips:
1. RSI (1d) is under a Rising Support. It is not quite there yet but the very first sign of sideways trading would be an indication of forming a top.

Crude slipping fast, here are two huge areas to watch!The past couple of trading days we have seen crude oil falling off a cliff. Down 12.5% in 8 days to be exact. We are now in a zone of demand and the buyers will be stepping in now and will continue to scale in until/if we make it to the lower buy target (noted by the green arrow).
If we lose the zone that we are currently trading in then we will visit the next area of massive demand and multi-trend confluence.
I will post an image below of a zoomed out version of this chart so you may observe the next level.
Trade safe!
OPEC announced a production cut,how much upside is there for oilSaudi Arabia and other OPEC+ oil-producing countries announced further production cuts of about 1.16 million barrels per day on Sunday, which provided strong upward momentum for oil prices. They opened directly higher during the day and are currently slightly lower, trading near US
80.47.
Judging from the trend of crude oil, the high price this morning just touched the important pressure level at the top of the platform in the early stage, so there is demand for a technical decline in the short term.The current rebound of crude oil has exceeded expectations, and the structure has also undergone variables. If the pressure continues, we will first look at the phased replenishment action.
Short-term trading reference:
Try to sell crude oil in small batches near 80.5, with a take profit level of 79.4--79

A Crude Awakening!The surprise production cut announcement from OPEC+ on Sunday caught us off guard!
With oil prices surging close to 7%, the question arises: will this trend persist?
To put the production cut into perspective, the unexpected 1.16 million barrels per day reduction is a continuation of the cuts announced last October. In total, these cuts will represent roughly 3.7% of global demand.
Since it has been some time since we covered oil, let's revisit some of the factors we see affecting oil now.
Strategic Petroleum Reserve
First, the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) is currently at its lowest level since 1983. The remarkable depletion of the reserve to combat energy inflation finally ended in December.
How has crude oil performed since then? It has been trading relatively flat, with the recent news pushing crude back to its December peak levels. We view this as a potential positive for crude oil, as the current low SPR levels indicate that supplies cannot be easily smoothed out by artificial market forces to suppress oil prices. Furthermore, the SPR will eventually require a refill at some point, adding buying pressure.
Dollar weakness
As crude oil is quoted in USD, the dollar's performance greatly influences oil prices. The chart above depicts the dollar (inverted) against crude oil. Over the past 20 years, periods of dollar weakening have been associated with higher oil prices. With the recent dollar decline, we have yet to see a significant response from crude.
COT Positioning
Another interesting note about oil is the reduction of non-commercial long positions over the past year as oil rallied from the depths of negative prices in 2020. As long positions close, net positioning (blue) has returned to 2016 lows. The current positioning landscape presents opportunities for a renewed surge in Crude Oil if market participants re-establish their longs.
Term Structure
The term structure of Crude Oil remains significantly in backwardation, indicating possible demand pressures, as measured by the Dec 2023 – Dec 2024 spread as well as the Jun 2023 – Jun 2024 spreads. The news on OPEC production cut resulted in a spike in the steepness of the term structure, further emphasizing the presence of price pressures.
Political Gamesmanship
Last but not least, as global powerhouses China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia jockey for positions on the world stage, it's undeniable that oil plays a pivotal role in their strategic arsenal. By leveraging their influence over this vital commodity, these nations may attempt to exert pressure on the US, seeking to tip the geopolitical balance in their favor and assert their dominance in the energy market.
Looking at the charts, we see crude oil struggling to break lower after completing a descending triangle. The recent gap up has now positioned Crude Oil just above the 200-day moving average and descending triangle. Combined, the stage seems set for oil’s next leg higher as the low SPR levels, dollar weakness, term structure & net positioning act as potential tailwinds to propel Crude Oil higher. We set our stops at the previous support level of 73.15 and take-profit levels at 92. Each Crude Oil Future contract is equal to 1000 barrels of crude oil. Each 0.01 point increment in Crude Oil Futures is equal to 10 USD.

Will oil prices continue to rise?The decline in U.S. crude oil inventories and the suspension of exports from the Kurdistan region of Iraq have supported the upward trend in oil prices, overshadowing the smaller-than-expected pressure on Russia's supply cuts.At the same time, five OPEC+ representatives said that the alliance may stick to the existing oil production reduction agreement at Monday's meeting.
On the technical side, WTI crude oil fluctuated and fell after the opening of the market, and slowly recovered after reaching a minimum of 73.74. The current price is trading near 74.7. Although crude oil is currently facing strong technical pressure, which has led to a small decline in the current situation, but the short-term upward structure has still not been effectively destroyed, so it can maintain a low bullish pattern in the short term.
Short-term trading reference:
1.Buy crude oil near the 73.7 position, stop loss level 73.3, take profit level 75.2
2.Try to sell crude oil in small batches near 75.3, with a stop loss level of 75.6 and a take profit level of 74.3

WTI CRUDE OIL Target hit. Now prepare for the top.WTI Crude Oil hit the MA200 (4h) today for the first time since March 9th.
We got our target hit from buying at the bottom (chart in the end of analysis) and now we are switching to selling as the price is closer to the top of the 3-month Channel Down pattern.
Trading Plan:
1. Sell on the current market price as the price completed a +16% rise, matching the strongest rally so far this year.
Targets:
1. 67.00 (Support 1).
Tips:
1. The RSI (4h) is forming the very same peak pattern as all previous tops since December. Similar to the bottom formation when we started buying.

Can the oil price recovery last?Judging from the trend of crude oil, since crude oil rebounded above 74, the technical bullish signal has been significantly strengthened.However, although the current oil price has returned to the range of the box, on the whole, the current price has basically touched the vicinity of the pressure zone of the previous box shock.In addition, judging from the strength of the recent rebound, it has not been as strong, so the trend may face a certain level of adjustment in the short term, and there is a technical need to step back on the midline of the channel to confirm the demand.After the last wave of the 4-hour level trend rose, the price was temporarily.The narrow volatility that remains at a high level weakens the strength of the upper attack, so there may be a trend of spatial correction in the short term.
Short-term trading reference: Sell crude oil near the 74.3 position, stop loss level 74.7, take profit level 73.2

Rising oil prices are under pressure, so be careful of trapsAlthough the interruption of some exports from the Kurdistan region of Iraq has raised concerns about tighter supply, the United States is expected to start strategic reserve repurchases during the year, which will also benefit oil prices to promote a rebound in oil prices.However, because of the geopolitical situation between Russia and Ukraine, it is more the West that sanctions Russia, so it will not allow oil prices to rise sharply and have sufficient income, thus limiting the room for oil prices to rebound to a certain extent.
From the perspective of crude oil trends, since the surge on March 27, there has not been a decent pullback and repair, so crude oil technically needs at least a second pullback to prove the effectiveness of the oil price increase.
Short-term trading reference: sell crude oil near 74, stop loss level 74.4, take profit level 73.3

WTI CRUDE OIL: One High left before new selling pressure.The WTI Crude Oil is being currently rejected on the 4H MA200 but with 4H technicals naturally bullish still (RSI = 61.154, MACD = 1.320, ADX = 61.771). This is due to the strong 9 day rally since the price made a bottom on the LL trendline of the Channel Down of December.
The 4H RSI also got rejected on the 70.000 overbought level and 5 times out of 6 within this Channel Down, this was an indication that we are either at the top or the last High before the top (LH trendline of the Channel Down). The last three tops were priced on the 1D MA100. We give slightly higher probabilities of this happening again. Sell this and TP = 67.00 (S1).
