Thursday:Crude oil narrowed and fluctuated Oil prices fell in volatile trading on Thursday as U.S. crude inventories exceeded expectations and concerns about the Red Sea crisis eased. Crude oil's Xiaoyin cross K-line retraced yesterday and settled flat. In line with the rebound of the previous day's big Yang line, it did not make a further strong reversal upward, but went back down. At present, the daily line is still rebounding based on 69.30 as the bottom. If it does not fall below 69.30 in the short term, it will tend to rebound first. Let’s see if it can start a steady rise today. In the 4-hour chart, a wave of decline gave up nearly half of the previous gains. It is currently in the process of confirming the retracement. Bollinger Bands closed, the short-term entered a contraction and shock, and the long-short tug-of-war switched. It is not a strong unilateral market. After the second retracement, pay attention to whether it can start a stable recovery above the low point. If it starts to stabilize, continue to watch the rebound. Of course, the process will still oscillate repeatedly. For short-term operations, set the time point after the European market, and the final market shape shall prevail. Use the intraday form stuck point to respond flexibly in the ultra-short term. On the whole, it is suggested that the day-to-day operation of crude oil should focus on the first-line resistance of 74.0-75.0 at the top and the first-line support of 71.0-70.0 at the bottom.
Strategy reference: It is recommended to enter the market with multiple orders at 72.2-72.4, plan in advance, and pay attention to updates for more signals↓
