ORBEX: US Air Strike Sends Oil and Gold UP!A US airstrike at the Bagdad airport killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani’s.
Not only this is going to increase geopolitical instability in the region but it also questions the legality of the President's decision as he acted without Congressional approval!
US-Iran relations are taking a sour turn early in the year following an “extremely dangerous” attack that could set off a war.
See how oil and gold have been affected so far and how they are likely to perform in the short-term.

WTI-OIL
Going short on WTI againAn important thing to note with contraction fakeouts, if they are valid and work out, is that a vicious reversal usually follows.
Currently, price action came right back into the contraction and is testing the bottom layer of it, which could easily create a breakout. Later in the day we do get the US Crude Oil Inventories which could be the push the WTI bears :bear: need to start moving lower.
As you may notice WTI has strong fluctuations in price, most recently seen on the 18th of November and 29th of November.
The two main support areas right now are, 58,450 & 57.850, if we do go short again we would target these two levels.
Of course for the definite stop-loss area, we would want to target above the highest pattern high, which is 61.015 ( <-- higher than that price of course, maybe 61.200 or 61.300)
USOIL: Broadening wedgeThis is a great example of a broadening wedge that we took advantage of this week. COngrats to all that took this trade with us. Broadening wedges are hard to ind but hen they break it can have some significant and extensive price action to the prictable direction. This wa a +6% return on our CFD at the time of rollover.
Don't miss the great buy opportunity in USOILTrading suggestion:
. There is a possibility of temporary retracement to suggested support line (56.22). if so, traders can set orders based on Price Action and expect to reach short-term targets.
Technical analysis:
. USOIL is in a range bound and the beginning of uptrend is expected.
.The price is above the 21-Day WEMA which acts as a dynamic support.
. The RSI is at 57.
Take Profits:
TP1= @ 58.00
TP2= @ 60.95
TP3= @ 66.57
SL= Break below S2
WTI: Where To Sell???
October was phenomenally good for WTI oil trading.
My last target for the long trade is lying on 60 level.
Those who are looking for a short trade,
focus on 60 - 61 resistance area .
this area was respected multiple times by the market in the past
and, in my view, it is the safest zone to sell.
for now, it looks like bullish tendency will remain and buyers
will keep pushing the market to the resistance line of the rising channel .
the only minor resistance on their way will be 59.0,
we can expect a minor retracement from this level and continuation to the underlined zone.

WTI: Bullish Continuation
after a retracement from the resistance line of the channel,
bears are approaching a strong zone of demand. (54.0 - 55.0)
During this month the tendency remains bullish,
for this reason, I believe that we will see a bullish continuation to higher levels of structure.
Target levels are 56.3 & 58.0
stop should be strictly below the identified zone.
OIL, Waiting for Buy signal!!!The price made a squeeze under the Support/Resistance Zone and broke it with a strong candle.
I'll be looking for Buy entry after a pullback to that Zone.
