UCO

USO / UCO a play on barrel oil shock LONGUCO is shown here as a one month trend - It is sitting on the rising support tendline about 2% below the recent high. Oil prices contribute to inflation. Anyone in the USA is aware of gasoline prices at the pump. Geopolitics plays into price. At present, US Navy warships are consuming refined oil and heading to the Middle East. Iran and Russia are sanctioned and must sell oil on the global market ( primarily India and China ) at artificially low prices. If Iran retaliates against Isreal, its oil infrastructure will be bombed back into the Stone Age in less than a day or two by the US. Global oil prices will spike nearly instantly from spot oil to futures. US Domestic producers will benefit ; the insane net cash flow to them will dramatically increase quickly. Russia will sell more oil to make up for Iran being taken off supply but will not capitalize so much given the sanctions. The price of oil will likely go north of $100 USD / barrel and potentially higher. Iran could go nuclear and any residual oil infrastructure would be turned into a quagmire of scrap metal in another day of work for the US Navy bombers and the fighter jets that escort them into strategic missions. Defense contractor stocks will spike as well. This could be a black swan event. My trading dictates that I add to my positions and average in until price goes against my idea. I am increasing my positions in gold and silver along with ETFs inversing the indices banks and financial stocks until the dust is settled. This includes any plays on VIX. I will also look at individual domestic oil stocks as well as junior precious metal miners.

OIl setting up for a bounce here, trade or continuation?We've been out of the #Oil trade for some time now. It since went about 10% higher, no big deal. Daily analysis: Broke its recent uptrend. RSI oversold - Usually gets a bounce at these levels. It has been trading in between mid 60's & Low 90's. Intraday looks like it is setting up for a bounce. -------------------------------- Weekly Analysis: You'd figure with tension rising that #OIL would be at a 100, at least. Daily it broke the trend but it's best to wait until Friday to see if it's going back to the lower part of the trend or bouncing. Historically, RSI doesn't hang around the 50 area much, shown by the yellow arrow.

USOUSD Spot Oil Jumps on Geopolitical Escalation LONGSpot Oil on 30-minute chart had a slow rise in the past 24 hours followed by a pause and then a jump on the Israeli retaliation strikes into Iran. Middle East oil shipping in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf are at risk and shipping insurance for ongoing shipments is likely to experience heavy rate increases if shipping does occur. Houthi rebels may resume proxy attacks on the behalf of Iran. New sanctions contemplated against Iran may include increased action on oil exports and the Israelis could target oil infrastructure. Overall, spot oil now has a bullish bias. I see good cause to increase oil based positions at this time. My target for spot oil based on VWAP lines currently on the chart is 87.5 about 4% upside without leveraging. The volume indicator shows increased buying volumes relative to selling. The PVT shows a quick burst of trend momentum while the TTM indictor triggered and has an upgoing histogram.

IMPP- a volatile penny energy stock LONGIMPP stands to gain market cap if the barrel price of oil moves on the global markets under the pressure of geopolitics in the Middle East. While it is a domestic producer and not involved in transoceanic oil tanker transport, the price of oil is a global dynamic in real time. As a small cap, when the oil price moves and IMPP's fixed expenses remain static, margins can increase in a curvilinear fashion. IMPP once traded in the 40 share price range. I believe it is well situated to jump if oil prices escalate in the near term. For another similar penny energy stock albeit not domestic take a look at INDO. Targets are on the chart 15%, 30%, 30%, 25% partial closures at each averaging 10-15% overall

Oil to bounce to test $94I think oil will now bounce to test $94. I'm short term bullish; medium term bearish. Oil took a hard dive "low liquidity run" through the previous swing-low which was taken out. The next swing-low is $77-ish. But we are hitting 20 week MA and prior old highs at the same time. Thus the slow stochastic weekly losing embedded (was above 80 now falling below 80) means a run to the 20week MA was likely. The next few days will show whether or not this confluence of old highs and 20week is strong enough to arrest oil's fall towad the liquidity pool (swing low) of $77. My trade has been to open longs using credit-puts below that $77 level where there should be much stronger resistance than the confluence already mentioned. Counter thesis is that the price cheese-knife's toward the $77 liq pool which could accelerate a sell-off. 20 Week is the "hold the line" for the trade.

UCO a crude oil ETF LONGUCO popped in April and then dropped into a consolidation in May and June where it set up a base shown by the POC line on the volume profile. Once over the POC on July 6th on the daily chart coinciding with a golden cross on the HMA 56/210 combination the bull trend began. The dual time frame RS lines in the 60s suggest more to come. I am trading UCO and similar oil-based instruments including USOUSD or forex in the near term until I see signals of a topping that are not yet evident.

OILU an ETF for OIL - Leveraged and LongOILU is a risky high volatility ETF on oil exploration and production. Where there are risk and volatility there can also be plentiful profits. On the 4H chart,OILU can be seen breaking up through long-term anchored VWAP bands in a trend that began in mid-May. Price is now approaching the mean VWAP lines. The POC line validates those VWAP lines coming in at nearly an identical price level. On the MACD, negative amplitudes have gradually decreased in a fashion consistent with bullish divergence. The RSI indicator shows the MTF RSIs to be in mid-range suitable for taking an entry without evidence of oversold or overbought parameters. Fundamentally, a variety of factors including OPEC the re-emergence of the Chinese economy, Russia's war fear of a recession causing a decrease in demand for oil all have contributed to a mixed picture. The chart is suggesting a long trade to me and so I will take up the suggestion. I will set a stop loss at the recent pivot low of $32 while targeting the highest VWAP band at $47. I will raise the stop loss to break-even when price hits $38 while respecting the ATR and volatility. I see this as a safe trade with a potential upside of about 33%

USO Up or Down OIL ECOMONY in fluxAs certain countries want to exchange oil for money with anything but USD such as Chinese Yen or even a cryptocurrency to be launched by US neutrals or adversaries cooperating, USO on this chart rose dramatically over the past month and is now sitting at resistance as shown by the LuxAlgo Supply and Demand Zone indicator. The RSI shows possible bearish divergence perhaps heralding a reversal of the uptrend. I see this as a good place to take a short sell entry and most buyers have taken their profits. Fundamentally there are enough competing geopolitical and macroeconomic factors to deprive USO of the energy to push through resistance. See also the link below from US federal forecasters. I see this as a short trade at a limit price below the resistance zone and stop loss above it. Profit targets can be the VWAP, the midline between the supply and demand zones as a 50% Fibonacci retracement of the uptrend and finally one standard deviation below the anchored VWAP making for a safe three-tiered take-profit procedure to optimize profit and diminish risk also adjusting the stop loss at intervals using ATR as a guide. 40% at each of the first two targets and the remainder at the last. Put options 20-30 DTE at the a strike above the resistance zone for a good delta are another consideration.

WTI Crude - Step 1) $88 --> Step 2) $58.When it comes to oil, it was supposed to do the super moon back to $120 thing when Xi Jinping and his Chinese Communist Party finally stopped welding people in their homes and going full blown technocratic social credit while humans tried to "fight" Wuhan Pneumonia (COVID-19), but for one reason or another, the pump never got off the ground. Probably because a whole lot more than the 87,468 people Xi and his CCP claim to have died from the disease are actually dead, and so demand is just legit in the toilet and industry can't get going, because China has big time problems stemming from its 23-year-long persecution of Falun Gong, which includes the unprecedented crime of live organ harvesting (they've done it to Uyghurs too), and the Party's outright fetish for human rights, freedom of speech, and freedom of belief abuses. Being bullish on "China" is a totally separate thing from being bullish on "the Chinese Communist Party." One is extremely wise, while the other is totally moronic. Totalitarian regimes never last a long time, and the Party has already had more than a century. Clinging to Marxism is like clinging to the Titanic when it's 5/6ths of the way under the water. When it comes to WTI oil, both the fundamentals and the price action are strange. This is a commodity that you don't want to be very bearish on after it traded at literally $0 during 2020's western COVID pseudopandemic theatre hysterics. Yet, while oil also isn't liking to go down, it isn't liking to go up. In October, I had a pretty accurate call that WTI would plink the $70 range. WTI Crude Oil / CL1 - Accumulation Before Global Conflict And a pretty good call in September too when everyone was convinced oil could never trade low again WTI Crude / CL - An Intervention: Saving Blind Bulls But the ultimate endgame of the calls, $50, has not manifested. It seems as if perhaps these prices won't manifest, and it's almost time for the uppy. There's some problems with this narrative, however. The key factor is that the United States and its vassal states (including Canada) are the world's largest producers of oil, by far. Russia and OPEC combined are really the only challengers, but the US has the advantage in that you need the USD to buy oil, and so ultimately the Biden Administration is the legit market maker. The problem with the bull thesis is that the SPR was filled at $29.70 over the years while Biden and friends sold half of it off in the $80s and $90s. This inherently tells you not that they're trying to destroy themselves, but just that they're short on crude oil. The news in December, right after oil wicked the $70 mark, was that the Biden Admin was buying it all back . But then in January, the tune changed as the US Government said "The bids didn't come in low enough, so we haven't bought yet." Media says they want to buy around $70. And this brings us to our very strange price action in WTI. Crude has a gap at $85-86 and combines with a Dec. 1 pivot around $83, while recent trading activity was a triple top of successive lows at $82~. Then we dumped to $72, but did not make a new low, and have since bounced back to $80. All of this combines to give us no reason to believe that a hybrid short-killer/breakout trader-crusher play is not about to be made around the $88 level. This gives us 10% to the upside, which is really quite nice to work with when WTI trades 1,000 barrel lots and you also have access to the leveraged ETFs like UCO and SCO. But the bottom is not in. Look at the weekly candles. Oil just hasn't retested the long-term trendline from late 2021, and in combination with the US Government having been unwilling to refill the SPR at $75+, should give you all the reason in the world to be extra cautious with going long as more than a scalp. Under $60 **combining** with media chatter that Democrats are refilling the SPR is where you want to go long. And if you do it right, you'll get the bottom for what will quickly turn into $180. 2023 is going to be a wild year starting in July. If humanity makes it to 2024, it will be even more of a ride. TL;DR: Long to $88 --> Short to $55, and start treating Bloomberg's Javier Blass like Jim Cramer. Trade against the narrative. Be patient. It's too early for the next moon, yet $120 in '22 was no top. This should combine with natural gas being on the cusp of pumping: Natural Gas? More Like Natural Go. 4-Handle Coming Be careful, and trade safe.

Crude Oil, Crude, CL, USO, UCOI had been waiting for months for CL to test the green shaded area which coincides to an untested weekly level of demand dating back to Dec/21. When we wicked down on Nov 28 and popped up I thought "damn, I missed the move" but instead of chasing I decided to wait (learning patience). A few days later we got the move I had been long waiting for and we have seen a successful backtest of that support level. Both weekly and daily RSI are showing a bull divergence, Weekly BBands are stretched, TSI has turned up on the daily, we had a demark buy last month and we are due for a technical bounce back to the 200 ema around $88. What has me particularly intrigued is some untested supply levels above between 98-108. Anything can happen of course but this could be setting up to be a nice opportunity.

CL or UCO Oil Idea Oil going up. this is only the beginning. prepare yourselves. SPR drains stop after the November mid term elections. not a lot left in it anyways. production cuts, combined with a global energy crunch from a Green transition coming too early before viable technology. Great reset agenda. confluence of bullish ideas. DXY not cooling off until 118. Oil was only down so far to price in the recession. so many factors. 12-18 months of bull market coming for all commodities, still imo. not financial advice
