Uranium - Is it getting ready for yet another rally? Over the past two years, the uranium sector has been experiencing a deficit on the supply side which led to a surge of more than 300% in the price of Global X Uranium ETF. The situation was even further exacerbated when in January 2022 Kazakhstan, world's largest producer, saw civil unrest spreading across the country. We foresee the deficit in the uranium market to be persistent throughout the whole year 2022 which we expect to have a positive impact on the price of this yellow metal. Recently, URA ETF saw bullish developments taking place on the daily time frame which possibly sets it for another rally.
Top ten biggest producers of uranium by country (2020):
1. Kazakhstan = 19 477 tonnes (approximately 41% of world supply)
2. Australia = 6 203 tonnes
3. Namibia = 5 413 tonnes
4. Canada = 3 885 tonnes
5. Uzbekistan = 3 500 tonnes
6. Niger = 2 991 tonnes
7. Russia = 2 846 tonnes
8. China = 1 885 tonnes
9. Ukraine = 744 tonnes
10. India = 400 tonnes
Meanwhile, the U.S. produced only 6 tonnes of uranium in 2020 which leaves it heavily dependent on foreign producers.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI is very bullish. MACD is bullish, though it still remains in the bearish territory. Stochastic is bullish. DM+ and DM- performed bullish crossover recently. However, ADX contains low value which suggests no trend is currently present in URA. Overall, the daily time frame is bullish.
Illustration 1.01
Picture above depicts the daily chart of the URA ETF. It also shows resistance at slope. We will observe price action closely and we will look whether it manages to break above the resistance. If breakout occurs, then we expect such a phenomenon to strongly bolster the bullish case for the URA ETF.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI continues to develop bearish structure. However, it already reversed which is bullish. We will watch whether it will manage to break its bearish structure. MACD is bearish but it shows first signs of flattening. Stochastic oscillates in the bearish territory, however, it points to the upside at the moment. DM+ and DM- show bearish conditions in the market. ADX suggests a lack of prevailing trend. Overall, the weekly time frame is bearish but signals very weak or no trend at all.
Support and resistance
Major resistance lies at 31.60 USD. Short-term resistance sits at 23.26 USD. Resistance 1 is at 26.37 USD and Resistance 2 at 28.72 USD. Resistance 3 is at 29.77 USD. Short-term support sits at 21.72 USD. Support 2 can be found at 17.23 USD.

Uranium
$URA weekly chart uranium rotationoil money rotated into natgas and we saw some massive gains this week. 2000% on our UNG calls.
everyone is ignoring uranium just like they did natural gas. this whole russia debacle is about ENERGY not oil.
if it costs more to produce electricity via natural gas , uranium will become more profitable as its at these lows.
simple supply and demand
SPROTT Physical Uranium Trust. A Simple Short-Term Trade.TSX:U.U is showing an ascending triangle on the hourly that spans the past eight trading days. This is a simple trade with the stop loss below the swing low and the target at the height of the triangle. Gives us a 6.83% potential profit to 3.1% potential loss, a reward-risk ratio of 2.22. Of course that depends on whether the triangle breaks upwards in the first place. If it does, we have a confirmation and the trade is on. I anticipate it going up because the Dollar is weakening and commodities are going up. Good luck with the trade.
Fission May Slide to Weekly SupportFission Uranium is owner of one of the premier uranium deposits in the world with Triple R. Fundamentally I think Fission will be a top performer in this bull market. For now though, Fission may return to test weekly support at $0.56 before continuing upward.
UUUU Head & Shoulders FormationUUUU formed a nice looking ascending head and shoulders formation and we saw the neck line break on January 13th. The head and shoulders formation most commonly indicates a reversal, but in this case we could see similar price action as March through April of 2021. However, as the overall market has been performing poorly it is likely we see further downside to support at $6.42.
Uranium Bulls are Back $CCJ $URAMillions of premium in calls flying around today, specifically a big buyer of a March 24/26 debit spread $CCJ
I like the technicals as chart is supporting the upward trendline.
Want to see a move at least up towards the AVWAP with follow through.
I'm long March 24 calls ... Naked ... when uranium moves it MOVES.
Idea to trade to the AVWAP then move stop loss accordingly to lock in profits !
Let's gooooo
Bullish Uranium Bullish URNMURNM is ranging after moving out of the downward channel. The uranium thesis is extremely bullish. I expect this stock to be much higher by year's end. The current structure looks like it follow a similar path to the orange squiggly lines. Entry for a trade would be just below the New year open of $75.78.
URACount on URA looks like 5 up followed by an irregular top which in EW terms means that after 5up impulsive waves complete the correction ensues but wave A falls short to correct the prior impulsive move then the B wave over shoots the top of wave 5 in an irregular top, the C wave that follows should be 5 down and make up for the A wave which was small in % compared to the trend. C wave should retrace to 618% fib lvl around $18
Urally Need To See ThisUranium is poised for a move. Charts show demand is ramping up and supply is slow to catch it as world leaders slowly catch on to it's inevitable necessity. As long as commodities hold up, URA should stay on trend and begin to take it's next leg up from the bottom of the channel.
Should prices break down, it could mean a plunge lower to the fib retracement levels. Sooner or later though, the yellow cake wants to go to 66
Fission Uranium Trend ReversalFission Uranium market structure has shifted and looks like the uranium market reversal is done. Close above $0.76 on the daily and we are looking at a return to $0.95 area.
$URA, not too late to the party tradethe price bounced back two times from the 0.618 fib level;
previous retrace was also around 28%; we will see one another 80% increase?
if you are looking for a mid term trade, there is a 3 to 1 RRR;
nuclear power is getting more attention; also the technology around it is getting better.
URANIUM might disappointAt the risk of sounding like a bear I think we have come too far, which is why we have seen the sharp pullback of late, I regret that I didn't catch this bearish divergence as it was emerging but my focus was elsewhere...
Let's imagine we have completed the first five waves from the 2020 bottom. That means that we are overdue a pullback that retraces a good proportion of the first wave.
I believe in Uranium and CCJ and am waiting for a better position, but for now, I'm not a buyer at the 200 day MA. I'll layer into names like PDN and AGE etc. as we approach the 0.5 retracement, but there may be more pain if we get a wider market pullback in future. Hoping I'm wrong for the uranium bulls out there but I'm gonna stay conservative for now, good luck friends!
URA- D1 - DOUBLE BOTTOM IN PROGRESS !MEDIUM / LONG TERM BUYING OPPORTUNITY WITH A STRONG STORY BEHIND !!!
BUY AT CURRENT LEVEL AND ADD ON DIPS.
MEDIUM/LONG TERM TARGET : $ 37.05 - $ 55.68 - $ 70.73
DAILY (D1) :
Yesterday's price action triggered a potential double bottom formation in progress coupled with a RSI bullish divergence.
In addition, the daily closing price (@24.30) is above the Tenkan-Sen (@ 24.14)
An upside breakout of $25.85 (double bottom trigger level) & 38.2% Fib retracement, would activate this ongoing formation (DB) in opening the door for a technical target of $ 29.27,
which is also, by the way, roughly the top level of the daily clouds resistance area.
WEEKLY (W1) :
Recent price action from the top ($31.60) is an healthy consolidation move in a broad bull trend still in place.
Indeed, the primary uptrend support line is still intact and is also coinciding with the weekly clouds support area.
In addition, the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement @ 22.72 has been filled (with an intraweek low @ 22.43.
A weekly closing above KS and Mid Bollinger Band, respectively @ 24.42 and 24.52 would add further support for further upside towards, firstly the TS, currently ƒ 27.02 ahead of 29.27
technical double bottom target above mentioned.
Interesting to note that the 29.27 level coincides also with the middle of the long black candle which triggered this consolidation move.
A weekly closing above 29.27 would be seen as a very positive signal, calling for a retest of former high @ 31.60 ahead of higher level
MONTHLY (M1) :
Uptrend intact, above the monthly clouds, above the Kijun-Sen and the Mid Bollinger band.
Watch the Lagging line which after having broken the clouds is again inside the clouds.
A new upside breakout of the clouds would also add further support for higher levels.
As you can see on this monthly chart, there is plenty of space to the upside and my strategic technical target
are the following :
Target 1 : 31.60
Target 2 : 37.05
Target 3 : 55.68
Target 4 : 70.73
For your information, there is also another vehicle investment in this URANIUM theme and on my view it is the best one :

UEC Are we there yet ? Bottem ? Deeper than I had envisioned. upon reaching the previous golden pocket on the shortest uptrend, the price bounced back but was rejected at $4.5.
so downtrend is extended.. now the price is already in the zone from where it could turn. we are low in the RSI and so the bulls may have the energy to move upwards again.
- red bar is the next resistance.
- blue bars are support (if bulls can't hold the $3.14 then $2.41 is next)
