🛢️ CRUDE OIL - TIME TO GO LONG ??⚡ ⚡ ⚡ 🍂⚡ ⚡ ⚡Been a crazy volatile past 2 sessions (Friday and today) and been attempting to go Long.
I think it is time to move back over the 80$ mark and off to 93.50$ or higher.
Not too in formed about the fundamentals but I will trust my chart on this one.
ps. I cannot cross out the possibility of 70-71$, it is still valid but less than 25% probable.
One Love,

WTI-OIL
WTI OIL Strong Support cluster. Fractal pointing to $93.00.The WTI Oil (USOIL) followed the exact projection we made earlier this week, as after a rebound to its 4H MA50 (blue trend-line), it got rejected again and even broke as low as the Support Zone 1:
By doing so it reached the 1W MA100 (red trend-line), which is the most important long-term Support. Last time it hit that level (September 26), it made an incredible rebound immediately. As you see we projected this drop on the bearish fractal of October 10 - 18. Plotting (yellow line) it on the price action since the November 07 rejection, it made a fairly accurate projection. This time we even looked at the September 14 - 26 bearish leg and as you see, the yellow fractal fits that one fairly well too. Also the resemblances between their 4H MACD sequences are evident.
Technically the 1W MA100 should hold and provide a rebound first to the 4H MA50 and 4H MA200 (orange trend-line) and then towards the 93.75 Resistance. As with the September 26 bottom, we give it a small tolerance limit to allow for a fake-out. If this is exceeded, we'll take it as a sell break-out signal, targeting the 77.25 - 76.25 Support Zone (2).

Bulls are not strong enough, the pair is in the line of descend!Hello traders! We are seeing that the oil demand is declinig, affecting the pair and making bulls be aware of future declines. Also we found in the charts a recongnize pattern of a head and shoulders, with a target around 1.30 if it breaks the support among the 1.36 level. The FED is fighting againts the ghost of recession and the 10 years bonds are fearing a descend from a 15 years top. Some fed officials are concernign about the oversizing uploads. This facts can draw a direction towards a new trend in the markets. Technically the level of 1.36152 is a support to watch. If the bears could break this level, we could see the prince drop to 1.33102 and 1.30 if the strong of the bears keep going. This is not financial advice, good trades and profits!!
Natural Gas / NG - It's Officially a Bear. Now, Hold My BeerThis post is a continuation of a previous post, which is based on a longer-term analysis:
Natural Gas / NG - What, Truly, Is a Bull?
With Wednesday-Friday and Monday morning's long-awaited dump into the fabled double bottom around $7.4, natural gas can only be considered to have formally shifted into a bearish market structure, based on both the 4H and Daily candles.
Note that the dump also breached range equilibrium.
What this means, is that it's finally time to look for a 45-day short play on natural gas. Remember, Freeport is supposed to re-open for export to Europe in mid-November, so in principle you'd want to see the downside manipulation occur before then.
However, all this time, big firms have been shipping U.S. natural gas via boat to Europe, and making more than $100 million a shipment in the process . Demand has been so enormous that there aren't enough ships on the planet available to meet it.
So it's not that U.S. Henry Hub pricing hasn't reflected the demand problem caused by Europe shooting itself in the knees trying to spite Putin and Russia so it can fit in with cool kids in the Globalist Bloc. It has.
It's just that the reality is, no matter the news and how it's framed, an energy crisis is coming to North America too.
You just won't see it until inflation starts to dip. Energy prices have to come down for inflation to dip. Once inflation dips, it will rip again, because it hasn't topped yet. Anyone who says inflation has peaked obviously can't read The Diagram, and nobody who is unable to read The Diagram is worthy of being a Doctor.
Regarding price action, once something as turbulent as natural gas dumps, and dumps a lot, and takes out key pivots, you have to be careful. At present the market makers are still employing these patterns where they seek and destroy to the downside and then quickly seek and destroy the upside.
It's very hard to catch a truly trending market at the moment, and so you have to employ a surgical strike style of trading and positioning rather than trying to get long or get short and rack up the Sklansky Bucks comfortably.
For example, the stock indexes look like they're going to bounce, and probably hard, before the next big leg down, regardless of what comes out of Wednesday's FOMC:
SPX500 / ES - It's Still a Bull. Now, Good Luck Riding It
With natural gas, what I'm really looking for here to position puts for November is a bounce into the $8.9 range. The problem is, the natural gas market makers are not so polite. They don't want you along for their ride. It's their ride, and if you're good enough to figure it out, you can make money. But if you can't, they will buck you off and you can watch from the sidelines.
They're a lot like angry cowboys, and so there is a possibility that is far from negligible that a number like $9.6 prints again before we see the next move down.
Or at least a number that starts with $9.
Regardless, in my opinion, once this bear is finished growling and knocking over trees, we will actually begin to see trending markets again. They won't trend for all that long, but you won't get bounces this time. It'll just landslide or gap down to where it wants to go and collect all the badly positioned longs or the longs who somehow never took profit during a run to $10.
WTI Oil, likewise, is in the same boat.
WTI Crude / CL - An Intervention: Saving Blind Bulls
Although its price pattern is more notable in that it once again traded back to the $81 gap and bounced again. If it runs the $91 double top it left behind and keeps going up, it might just be a bull run again. But if it just crushes $91 and starts to fall, you can surely expect numbers like $69 and $50 are en route, no matter what the fundamentals say about global demand.
What you're ultimately looking at with the positioning of the markets, whether it be copper, soybeans, stocks, is you're looking at first some bouncing and then what is likely a market-wide sell off with some days of panic that is simultaneously subdued and overexaggerated.
All of which is designed to have you sell low and then buy back higher with half your account left intact.
Consider that last week's CPI dump took 200 points from the SPX in a few hours, but only raised the VIX by like 3 points. VIX 28 is now a ceiling. VIX 40-42 will be where you find the bottoms. VIX 72 will come when the markets truly start to head to the downside.
After the global avalanche is finished, you'll likely see the Nasdaq be extremely strong for a few months. SPX will be okay, but will be drug down by energy companies, which won't do particularly well because they'll be drug down by natural gas and WTI accumulating at low prices. Dow will probably be better than SPX but worse than Nasdaq on account of its defense contractors likewise accumulating at low prices.
Once retail is done gorging themselves stupid on $30 SNAP and $45 BBBY and $198 AAPL, reality will unfold. Stocks will crash, hard.
WTI and Natural Gas and other commodities (Except for silver and gold. Seriously. Quit being a moonboy on ancap stuff. It'll rot your teeth.) will make major new highs and energy companies and defense contractors will become the safe haven in the markets.
When those days unfold, you can expect major geopolitical turbulence, which can include as much as the collapse of the Chinese Communist Party. You can also see significant natural and manmade disasters unfold. It won't be a pleasant time. But you should know that what unfolds will appear chaotic but actually be orderly.
Everything unfolding in the world is orderly and well arranged. This world will not be destroyed, although there will be significant hardship for many regions, and few will find the outcome comfortable.
But for now, you can focus on trying to make money. You have the difficult task of trying to find a time to short natural gas inside of a 15% possible range. You can short $8.9, but they really might take that $9.3 pivot. If you wait for the $9.3 pivot, you might not get filled and miss the move.
This kind of move back up is also designed to dump the ETFs, many of which trade on 2x leverage (10% natural gas move = 20% ETF dump), so big pockets can get fat long for the real dump.
It's very annoying. They're really very annoying about how they do things. It's a constant gut check and a series of difficult and suboptimal circumstances, because time is an excellent weapon and they use it very well.
You should know that all the decisions you face when trading and all the loss and gain you come across are actually opportunities to cultivate your mind and your heart. They're chances to improve.
Every thought and feeling you have while doing this is you forging yourself like quicksilver being refined inside of a crucible powered by burning hydrogen.
Everything depends on how you improve your heart and employ your rationality. Fear and greed are your greatest enemies.
WTI oil - The downtrend is not done with the oil market Previously, we stated that we wanted to avoid setting a price target for the short-term and medium-term because of high volatility and rumors (then actions) affecting OPEC's supply. Instead, we said that we would focus on our long-term price target of 70 USD. Since then, the price of WTI oil had fallen approximately 4% before erasing some losses.
Today, we are still committed to our long-term price target and expect volatility in the oil market to stay persistent, with the U.S. and OPEC attempting to reach their own economic and geopolitical interests. In addition to that, we are growing even more pessimistic on the topic of demand because of several reasons.
First, the stock market has been in a bear market for the past few months, dramatically raising prospects of lower oil demand over the coming months (especially as the FED will continue to tighten and worsen economic conditions). Second, the OPEC recently confirmed this same narrative about the declining demand when it slashed its demand growth forecast for 2023 from 2.6 million bpd to 2.3 million bpd. Third, a likelihood of more strategic petroleum reserves being released by the U.S. to dampen the price.
Besides that, our views are also supported by technical factors, pointing to liquidity issues in the overall market. We believe this tremendously increases the odds of a stock market crash. As if it was not enough, futures oil contracts manifest backwardation. Therefore, we voice a word of caution to investors.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI, Stochastic, and MACD are bearish. DM+ and DM- performed a bearish crossover. Overall, the daily time frame is bearish.
Illustration 1.01
We introduced the setup above yesterday when the price was near its low. Now, we believe that the time is running out quickly for the long trade. Therefore, we would like the price to break below the short-term support to support the bearish thesis in the short-term term.

Deflation has started 2022. Dollar on the rise to previous highs WTI: Deflation has started 2022. Dollar on the rise to previous highs
WTI has no room to be in Extended Range any longer. With Stocks and inflational products keeps going lower.
Dollar domination is just getting stronger and VIX is still supressed relative to history. All this is about the breakout to the upside.
Oil will reach 65 WTI price this month because of producers price is at 65. This price will get consumer back in rough times. Consumer spending in oil/gas is at lowest level.
Remember supply and demand. Oil has been trading in static trading range, meaning oil price will go lower in time not higher. There is too much oil stored and prices are just pumped by
inflation and war. Everything that has inflational status will go down hard still. See 50-70% drop still in stockmarket and so with energy prices. 10x natural gas is not sustainable either.
Be ware and take care.
Best Regards
R.B
📉 Looking for more upside on OilPrice reacted off the 79.90 and 79.10 area nicely. If you do not have any buy trade at the moment, you can consider waiting for the breakout above the 83.30 confirmation level. As long as price remains above 76.55, we continue to remain bullish and expect more upside.

The WTI Oil (USOIL) has been trading within a Channel Down pattern since early July. A key characteristic of that formation is that every time the 1D RSI entered its 35.50 - 30.00 Support Zone, the price rallied short-term on an increase ranging from +8.40% to +13.70%. Two days ago the RSI hit the exact 30.00 level and rebounded. A minimum +8.40% increase would made a new (Lower) High at 82.90 while the maximum of +13.70% would print 86.70 and most likely test the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) as the August 30 Lower High did.

OIL - Still in bearishAlthough oil price rebounded yesterday, there is not enough momentum for keeping the uptrend. The overall trend is still downward.
From the H4 chart, the lower high after it breaks the 82 level also shows that oil prices as a whole continue to remain bearish.
I think it would be better to stay patient and wait for a pullback to enter the market.
for short orders💎short target at 75.5
SKILLING:XTIUSD
WTI BEARISH OUTLOOKWTI reached its 8 months low, after the spike in price from the invasion in Ukraine. Investors are afraid that combination of increasing interest rates and high inflation will slow down the economy, from there and the demand for crude oil. The economic slow down of China has also put a down pressure on the oil price.
Technical indicators are also placing WTI into bearish scenario, with MACD under the 0 line and RSI under the 50 neutral line.
If the trend continues, the price might reach levels of 67.5 In opposite scenario, however, the price might test its previous high of 89.5

Natural Gas / NG - What, Truly, Is a Bull?The terms "bullish" and "bearish" when used on Twitter and TradingView and in the media are more or less just poorly positioned synonyms for "going up" or "going down."
Yet, it's a misnomer because some of the craziest pumps you'll ever see are during bear markets, and some of the craziest dump-a-thons you'll ever endure are during the most parabolic bull markets.
Right now, the energy world is ablaze because the Russian Federation has more or less cut Europe out of Nord Stream 1 while Europe is already in the middle of an exceptional energy crisis, wrought by its own choices to follow the globalist-communist bloc in trying to punish Putin for a war in Ukraine that roots back to more than a decade of U.S.-NATO-led pot-stirring.
News like this causes Europe's natural gas futures to print remarkably stupid prices, making a huge amount of widows from those who were trading short, and energy companies who are paying those prices and yet cannot charge those prices to the end user because of socialist command economy policies placed by the government.
However, for North America's Henry Hub futures, Europe needing gas doesn't really help, because the Freeport terminal that's really the only place that LNG gets exported in any meaningful quantity blew up in July.
It was supposed to come back online in October. And yet, news of its delay until at least November already printed on Aug. 23.
Taking a look at the monthly, you can see that NG is still, really, historically cheap:
The Biden Administration is going to donate a great quantity of natural gas to Europe once Freeport is back online. In my view, we're going to see a new all-time high print. Something that starts with the number "2."
But before we get there, it's important to keep a cool head, and ask yourself: if Freeport has been offline since July and was set to come back online in October, why does price meander in this $8-9.50 range so early?
Taking a look at the weekly provides some context:
Before Freeport blew up in the first place, NG was flirting with $9. Once it blew up, it immediately took a three week liquidation spree to $5.50, with the worst part of that trip occurring on the final day of June as monthly futures contracts settled.
Then it bounced. And for a commodity whose market maker usually likes to whip it up and down and gap up and gap down with violence on daily and weekly opens, it really just went in a straight line back to $9.
Expanding down to the daily, it's even more obvious how much this traded like the SPX500 does when the Fed's money printer is doing work so that 75 year old men can mash buy and take a nap:
And now here we are, entering the second week of September post-Labor Day. All the propaganda outlets and pundits crank the sirens, chanting, "Europe Natural Gas Utilities Crisis Russia Gazprom Texas Heatwave High Pressure Heat Dome California Electric Grid Shortage!!!"
And all of that is true, just like all of that was true for WTI Crude when it traded at $125 for two months.
And yet somehow, despite the fundamentals and all the pundits calling for $180 and $350 BECAUSE REASON S, oil is down 30% and it still isn't finished dumping.
So, why is it?
It's not hard to figure out.
It really isn't.
Retail buys high because they see confirmation that something is going up, and then panic sells when it gets rugged.
And then when it goes back up they mash buy at a higher price than they sold at because of "Fear of Missing Out," and then they don't sell when they're in profit because their target on the SPX is 12,836 because Gann and Elliot said so, and everyone wants to be that guy you hear about who bought Google at $2 and held it for 20 years while playing golf.
If Shell or Exxon traded like that, they would be bankrupt, none of us would have electricity to read these words, and we'd all either die from heat exhaustion or freeze to death without AC and furnaces.
The reality is that when NG dumped at the end of July, it still didn't dump deep enough to enter a discount in this overall trading range. We've simply been watching what is still currently the 7th straight week of premium trading.
If Natural Gas is going to go to $20 when Biden starts donating energy to save NATO's European arms, it really would make a lot more sense if some time were spent so companies and funds could accumulate a significant position at a relative discount.
And indeed, there are at least two fat and curiously unchallenged double bottoms presented in the 4H chart that just happen to be in the sub-50% dealing range and at a price so low that it will have margin calling and leave ZeroHedge and Javier Blas from Bloomberg and friends in bewildered disbelief as to how energy commodities aren't worth anything "in a recession."
I often say that what a person thinks can happen and what is actually happening in this world and this Universe are simply two totally different things. A human being is heavily deceived by the slow grind of time and the ostensible appearance before their eyes.
Reality, on the other hand, simply follows a certain law and it will complete itself according to that law no matter how anyone cries about it. Whoever is in harmony with the law will establish themselves, and whoever is afoul of the law will get liquidated.
The caveat to this chart is time. I can only fit so many 4H candles in a window and so the time on this chart only extends into early October. These lower prices, if they really come, could happen later in October or even in November.
And while it'll really be quite the opportunity, it's also a "second mouse gets the cheese" kind of thing for those who are trying to get long for the moon at $7 and $6.
Energy Natural gas idea (15/09/2022)Natural gas during the day.
The correction in wave 2 may be over, as the rise in the third wave has already started, and it may target a new level above 10.01, but this rise depends on trading remaining above the bottom of 7.532 as well, if trading remains above the bottom of 7.761, we may see an increase in prices.

WTI Crude: Potential 40$ Oil Next YearOPEC recently met this week to discuss whether or not to decrease crude oil production in October after initially deciding to increase production for September, increasing supply. Last month OPEC agreed to increase production in September by 100,000 barrels per day during their last meeting in August as the US strained to fight inflation and high energy prices. OPEC stated that the production increase was only meant for September, coming into agreement that in October they will cut production by 100,000 barrels per day.
Demand for crude oil has been falling and supply has been increasing OPEC stated, OPEC warned that a global economic slowdown is coming, and demand for crude oil has fallen 300,000 barrels per day in 2022, and will also fall by the same amount in 2023. OPEC further sees a possible increase in crude supply if Iran is able to agree on a new nuclear deal with the United States and Europe, which would ease sanctions on its exports
From a technical perspective USOIL has been trading below the 200 day simple moving average since July 14, crossing back above a few times in the summer in August, but recently this week has seen a sharp decline below the 200 day sma indicating strong selling pressure. Banks and investors will be gearing towards staying short oil. The default monthly 12 26 9 period MACD has recently shown strong bearishness as the fast line has fallen below the slow line, the last time this happened was September 2018, 4 years ago. The 1 month default RSI currently sits at a value of 52.28, above neutral with lots of room to become oversold and fall below 30. Crude could potentially see 40 dollars a barrel in 2023 until any change in bullish momentum is shown, momentum stands strongly bearish right now as the bears have taken control. Tomorrow the US IEA will release WTI crude inventory count numbers, and Kushing Oklahoma inventory numbers, (Crude Oil Inventories
Forecasted: -0.250M Previous -3.326M), and have forecasted an increase in supply from the previous week's count. $WTI Crude Oil $Brent Crude Oil

WTI oil - An indecisive moment in the oil marketWe warned about the possibility of a downtrend correction in the middle of August 2022. Indeed, we said that the breakout above the sloping support/resistance would lead to such action. Then shortly after that, USOIL rose from its lows and broke above the resistance, halting its rise at 97.65 USD per barrel.
Since then, the price fell back below the 90 USD price tag. However, the drop stopped slightly above the sloping support, which is bullish. Accordingly, we are bullish on oil for as long as the price stays above the support. However, an alternative position can be taken (with a tight stop-loss) on the breakout below the support.
In the short-term future, we will pay close attention to OPEC's rhetoric and any potential talks about more production cuts. In our opinion, cutting production risks higher prices for oil in the short term. Although with the prospect of global recession unraveling, we think production cuts will only have a temporary effect if any.
Illustration 1.01
The picture above shows the daily chart of USOIL. Yellow arrows indicate a bullish breakout above the sloping support/resistance and subsequent failure of the price to retrace below it. As long as the price stays above the sloping support/resistance, it stays in the bullish area.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI and MACD are neutral. Stochastic is bearish. Overall, the daily time frame is neutral/slightly bearish.

WTI / OILHello traders, we are in a new month and it is considered dangerous.. so I see the movement of oil will be declining through increasing traders’ fears of the news of raising interest rates.. and I think that oil will break the support area 86.0 and head to the next support area 83.6. If you agree with me, leave your comment and admiration
