WTI
Hellena | Oil (4H): Short to support area 72.631 (Wave 5).Dear Colleagues, as in the last forecast I assume that the price was moving in wave “4” and is currently completing this wave.
I expect the wave to start downward movement and reach the support area (minimum of wave “3”) at 72.631. Because this movement will be the development of wave “5” in the ending diagonal.

Quote from last week:
bull case: Strong week by the bulls with 3 pushes up but still a lower high. Their next target is to get back above 80.22. Right now they have momentum going but big down, big up mostly creates confusion and that means trading range. Above 79.5 I will probably long for 80. They need to stay above 77 or odds favor a retest of the lows below 74.
comment: Bulls just had amazing follow through since Monday and have bought everything on lower volume. The tight bull channel is valid and Monday or Tuesday could set up another good buying opportunity. I don’t think bears want to die on that 82 hill and bulls can bring this easily back to 82.5 or 84.5 where two upper bear trend lines run through.
current market cycle: big trading range or smaller bull trend inside of it. Triangle is still playing out.
key levels: 72-84
bull case: Another very strong week. Can only look for longs in oil currently, until bears show up again. Bulls had two big legs up and want a third one to around 83.5/84.5. The current pullback could continue 1-3 days before more up but bulls should not let it break the lower bull channel around 79.7ish
Invalidation is below 79.5.
bear case: Bears clearly see the pattern and only doing small intraday scalps until the market get’s nearer to either bear trend line as drawn. The big one started 2 years ago, so you can be sure, there will be a reaction. Not saying bears will be strong enough to reverse it directly but at least stall it around that price area. As of now, bulls are in full control and far above the daily ema. Don’t look for shorts unless strong momentum.
Invalidation is above 82.1.
outlook last week:
“short term: Neutral right under the bear channel line and daily ema at 77.5. Can break to either side.”
→ Last Sunday we traded 78.45 and now we are at 80.73. Not a good outlook but I would always write the same. As strong as it was before last Monday, it was the high of the trading range and it could have been the top for some days.
short term: More sideways to down movement expected (not much down, max 79.7ish) before bulls try the third leg up. Can’t be anything but bullish looking at this chart until bears build bigger selling pressure.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82/84. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. Market did indeed reversed hard over the past 3 weeks and we are almost at the top of the triangle again, where I expect more sideways movement until one side clearly wins again. Odds favor the bears if they stay below 85.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Bear channel was clearly broken and therefore removed. Tight bull channel with a 5-wave series added.
oil crudewe anticipate a long term buy for crude oil based on the following analysis of crude oil which is an amalgamation of both fundamental technical analysis.
WTI crude oil continues its upward trajectory, with hourly prices testing the upper bounds of the ascending channel. If the short-term ceiling holds, prices could still experience a rapid pullback.
The 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level stands at $80.02, with larger pullbacks potentially reaching the 50% level at $79.51, followed by the 61.8% level at $78.99 near the channel bottom and the 200-day SMA dynamic inflection point.
The stochastic oscillator dropping from overbought territory indicates rising selling pressure, with room for oscillators to decline further before reflecting bearish exhaustion, which suggests that the correction could persist until such exhaustion is observed.
The RSI is also trending downward, indicating that crude oil prices may follow suit until oversold conditions are met and oscillators rebound.
However, the overall structure shows the 100 SMA above the 200 SMA, confirming that the path of least resistance remains upward, or that support levels are more likely to hold than break. In this scenario, oil prices may continue to rise toward the swing highs around $81.69 or higher. In terms of trading strategy, it is recommended to buy the dips.

WTI OIL Shifted to longterm bullish, but expect correction firstWTI Oil (USOIL) broke above its 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and invalidated April's Channel Down. Last time we saw such a Channel Down bullish break-out following a rebound on the 1W MA50 (red trend-line) was on December 20 2023 and before that on May 17 2023.
The common characteristic was that a 1D MACD Bullish Cross accompanied all those break-outs and the last two formed a 1D Death Cross. On both previous occasions, the price pulled back to at least the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, touching the 1W MA50 again.
As a result, even though we have confirmed a new long-term uptrend, we will turn bearish on the short-term, expecting a pull-back towards the 0.618 Fib, targeting $76.00.

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Intraday Bullish Move
I see a breakout of an intraday horizontal resistance on WTI.
After a violation, the market started to correct within the expanding wedge pattern.
Test of a broken structure made the market bullish again.
I think that bulls may push the prices higher today.
Goal - 80.15
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
WTI stages breakoutCrude oil's rally today underscores its recent resilience. Prices surged despite weaker Chinese industrial data, suggesting investors are expecting the oil market to tighten as we head deeper into the US driving season.
Thanks to the rally, WTI has broken its bearish trendline that had been in place since April, finding strong support around $77.80, where the 21-day exponential moving average is present. Today's rally has lifted WTI to its 200-day moving average, just below the $79.50 level. Previously, it had struggled within the $79.50 to $80.00 range.
Considering last week's V-shaped recovery and the subsequent break above the bearish trendline, crude oil bulls are now looking for a move above May's high of $80.63. Achieving this would mark the first higher high and confirm a bullish reversal signal for WTI.
Conversely, if oil prices turn lower in the coming days and fall back below the breakout area around $77.80, the bearish trend would likely resume, leading to further technical selling.
However, the bullish scenario appears more probable to me.

#202425 - a weekly price action market recap and outlook - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
wti crude oil futures
Quote from last week:
bull case: The best the bulls can hope for, is for the lows to hold and to move sideways and hit the daily ema again. They failed at keeping it above 75, which was huge support. Last bear leg inside this bigger trading range was 11 weeks long from high to low and we are currently at 9 weeks. Bulls will want to find support here around 70-72 and trade back up to at least 78 over the next 8-12 weeks.
comment: After Monday there was no question that bulls took control again and the bear trend is over. Bears now fight to keep this a lower high and retest the 72.48 low but for now, market is in balance around 78. Bulls want to break out of the bear channel and test 80 again.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 72-79
bull case: Strong week by the bulls with 3 pushes up but still a lower high. Their next target is to get back above 80.22. Right now they have momentum going but big down, big up mostly creates confusion and that means trading range. Above 79.5 I will probably long for 80. They need to stay above 77 or odds favor a retest of the lows below 74.
Invalidation is below 77.
bear case: Huge bear surprise the week before and now a big bull surprise. Most reasonable thing here is for the market to move more sideways, probably still inside the very big triangle 73 - 81.5. If bears get below 77, they want to retest the lows below 74, which is also what I think has the slightly better odds next week but I would wait for confirmation.
Invalidation is above 80.6.
outlook last week:
“Neutral because I think we will hit the daily ema again and a retest of 72.5ish. I am not a fortune teller so I don’t know which comes first. I will watch the price action and give daily updates here on substack and intraday in my trading room.”
→ Last Sunday we traded 75.53 and now we are at 78.45. I said we will hit the daily 20ema which was 140 upwards. On Monday there was no question we will get there, so I hope you made some. Did not expect bears to just disappear afterwards and let the market trade above for the whole week.
short term: Neutral right under the bear channel line and daily ema at 77.5. Can break to either side.
medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 72 and 82. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. Market will probably move more inside this big range until we get a new big cycle to either side. —unchanged
current swing trade: None
chart update: Adjusted both two-legged corrections to fit the current pattern better but the C target is very questionable as of now. We need more price action to know where market wants to go from here.
USOIL Possible shortUSOIL has been moving bearishly for some time now since it's overall higher time frame direction is bearish. It has recently formed an interesting structural pattern where it swept previous equal highs before breaking the previous low with MASSIVE momentum. It has currently retraced back towards the deep inner range, where the kick the this previous enormous bearish momentum began, to fill imbalances that were left behind in the process. So price could potentially use a 4h supply zone to push further to the downside with the help of a triangle liquidity that has currently formed below it. The target is the latest low as it is weak due to the nature of the tend being bearish.

BRENT. Weekly trading levels 10.06.2024 - 14.06.2024During the week you can trade from these price levels. Finding the entry point into a transaction and its support is up to you, depending on your trading style and the development of the situation. Zones show preferred price ranges WHERE to look for an entry point into a trade.
If you expect any medium-term price movements, then most likely they will start from one of the zones.
Levels are valid for a week, the date is in the title. Next week I will adjust the levels based on new data and publish a new post.

----------------------------------------------
I don’t play guess the direction (that’s why there are no directional arrows), but zones (levels) are used for trading. We wait for the zone to approach, watch the reaction, and enter the trade.
Levels are drawn based on volumes and data from the CME. They are used as areas of interest for trading. Traded as classic support/resistance levels. We see the reaction to the rebound, we trade the rebound. We see a breakout and continue to trade on a rollback to the level. The worst option is if we revolve around the zone in a flat.
Do not reverse the market at every level; if there is a trend movement, consider it as an opportunity to continue the movement. Until the price has drawn a reversal pattern.

WTI Oil H4 | Potential bullish bounceWTI oil (USOIL) is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 77.52 which is a pullback support.
Stop loss is at 76.30 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support and the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level.
Take profit is at 80.37 which is a multi-swing-high resistance that aligns close to the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement level.

Crude oil eyes $80, but resistance loomsWTI is on track for a bullish engulfing week to snap a 3-week losing streak. And as it fell over 17% from the April high, it could pave the way for further gains in the coming weeks. However, there are plenty of resistance levels around the $80 that could spur bears from the side lines.
The May VPOC and VAH sit around Wednesday's high, and the monthly R1 and weekly R2 near the May high. So whilst another crack at $80 seems more likely than note, the $80 area could be an interesting area to fade into.
Strong support sits around $75.50, making it a viable target for bears and area for bulls to reconsider entering for an anticipated move above $80.
WTI off lows after earlier drop, but what now?Crude oil prices gave up their earlier gains, to turn modestly lower on the day after the release of the EIA weekly US oil inventories, before bouncing off their lows ahead of the FOMC rate decision. Watch the closing prices. A daily close in the red may lead to some follow-up selling in the days ahead, given that WTI has arrived and reacted negatively from the key $79 level.
Crude stocks came in at +3730K vs. -1025K expected and +1233K the week before. For gasoline, stocks came in at +2566K, significantly surpassing the expected +0.891K reading. Distillates, on the other hand, registered +881K against an anticipated +2147K. Refinery utilization saw a decrease of 0.4%, slightly more than the expected decline of 0.3%. Additionally, US crude imports reached their highest level since 2018, which may help explain the discrepancy in expectations.
Crude oil had staged a sharp recovery after hitting key support at $72.50 on Wednesday, before today’s struggles. The rally has been driven by hopes for increased fuel demand as the US driving season progresses. We have had a couple of stronger US macroeconomic pointers including the ISM services PMI and monthly jobs report that helped to reduce fears about demand weakness. Prices also found support from oversold conditions following a three-week decline that had been fuelled by concerns over Chinese demand and rising non-OPEC supply.
Today’s inventories figures were considered bearish by traders, and they sold oil after WTI had risen to test resistance and its bearish trend line around $79.
The lower highs suggest the short-term path of least resistance is still downward, until told otherwise by the charts.
In terms of support, the next important zone is between $76.00 and $76.50 for WTI, which had been both support and resistance in the past. If prices fall below this area, the bearish trend may resume, potentially triggering further technical selling.
Meanwhile the key resistance level to watch is around $79.00, give or take, where the trend line and the base of last week’s breakdown meet. This is where today’s rally has stalled for now. The bulls will need to see a close above here in order to initiate a move towards $80 and higher.

WTI Oil - 4H Sell OpportunityThe WTI Oil chart shows a compelling setup for a short position. The price has rallied into a significant resistance zone around $79, coinciding with a strong downward trend line that has been respected multiple times. This area acts as a confluence of resistance, providing a high-probability entry for selling.
Given the persistent bearish trend, this resistance zone is likely to hold, reinforcing the potential for a downward move. The chart indicates that selling WTI Oil at this juncture offers a good risk-to-reward opportunity, aiming for a decline towards lower support levels as shown by the red arrows.
Monday/Tuesday Bullish.. Continuation on Wednesday? Hello Traders. The Monthly candle has flipped bullish and the weekly candle is pushing for new highs as the 3rd Asian session of the week kicks off here. Monday was super bullish and today's tuesday candle closed bullish after a late NY bullish push. We observed (4) 4hr candles print bearish consecutively only to be overshadowed by a large bullish candle that began it's ascent at around London close today. The Market is bullish and so continuing to look for longs up to the next 4hr level (79.00) is a scenario for the next session. Another scenario is we push to the 78.50 4hr level and then rollover towards (77.30) 4hr level. The market totally changed behavior after dipping into 73 Weekly Level. The last crude oil inventories, which was forecasted to see a decrease by 2.1m barrels, instead saw an increase and this lined up with a low in the market . The news was About 1.13$ off the low and has been a catalyst for this bullish momentum in the last few days. Interest rates, CPI and Inventories tomorrow will surely send the markets into an uproar so careful trading ahead.
WTI OIL Sell signal at the top of the Channel Down.WIT Oil (USOIL) didn't disappoint last time we looked at it (June 05, see chart below) and delivered our buy signal, easily hitting the 75.70 Target:
The price is now at the top (Lower Highs trend-line) of the 2-month Channel Down and just below the 4H MA200 (orange trend-line), which is where the last Lower High was priced and rejected. At the same time, the 1D RSI is on the 53.80 Resistance, which was the level that priced the last two Lower Highs.
Technically this is the most optimal sell entry on this pattern. We have a modest target at 72.45 (Support 1), as despite the fact that a Lower Low is expected lower, the 1W MA200 looms as a Support and long-term may form a strong Support base. That remains to be seen, so for the time being we take only short-term targets.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Long, correction to the area of 76.326.Dear colleagues, I have analyzed for a long time and came to the conclusion that the price will probably continue to decline, but at the moment I see that wave “3” is not formed yet, and therefore wave “4” is not formed either. Therefore, I expect a correction to the area of 76.326, but it is desirable that the price does not reach the level of 76.50, because this is the minimum of wave “1”.
