USOIL reacting only slightly to the tensions in the Red SeaIn mid-December 2023, we witnessed major shipping companies announce a halt to transit through the Red Sea. Then, with the launch of Operation Prosperity Guardian, we saw the same companies start reversing their decisions, only to again pause shipping quickly after the resumption (thanks to more attacks from Houthi rebels targeting Maersk ships). As such, the past three weeks in the oil market were marked by turmoil, affecting about 8.2 million barrels per day in transport through the region (and an estimated 12% of the world’s trade). With these tensions increasing, USOIL is reacting positively, and we acknowledge that USOIL may continue to oscillate between $68 and $75 in the short term (before diving lower). However, our price target of $65 per barrel stays in place.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Targeting the 1D MA50.WTI Crude Oil is rebounding today aggressively after hitting and holding the 1W MA200, which as we've discussed on our channel, has been the long term Support since February 1st 2021. The rebound has turned the 1D technical outlook neutral (RSI = 47.857, MACD = -0.970, ADX = 22.204) but the 1D RSI is inside a Channel Up, which indicates that there might be a hidden bullish divergence for the long term.
Nevertheless, we cannot discuss any +25% to +30% moves as those in April and July 2023 unless the 1D MA50 breaks. Until then, we will focus on the short term and aim just under the 1D MA50 (TP = 74.50).

WTI OIL Bearish below the 1D MA50.WTI Oil (USOIL) got rejected two days ago near the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line), which has been the downward Resistance since October 24, despite the fact that the price marginally broke above the 3-month Channel Down.
As long as it stays below the 1D MA50, the trend is bearish and we will target the 68.00 Low. On the long-term though, this is a huge Buy Zone since March but the price only rallied sustainably when a 1D candle closed above the 1D MA50. The 1D RSI is technically repeating the December 2022 bottom pattern, but we will only engage in buying above the 1D MA50, in which case we will target 82.50, which is a level reached both on the March and July's rallies.

Disruption to the oil supply chain averted (at least for now)Following the initiation of Operation Prosperity Guardian in the Red Sea, major shipping companies like Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd began to reverse their recent decisions to halt transit through this waterway. That is positive news for the world as the region is estimated to account for about 12% of global trade, with 340 million metric tons of cargo and 8.2 million barrels of oil passing through daily. Nonetheless, as disruption to the oil supply chain seems to be averted, this news is likely less favorable for the oil price, which is currently trading near $75.50 per barrel. With that said, we have no reason to change our outlook for the next year, and our price target stays at $65 per barrel; however, in the short term, we acknowledge that USOIL may move higher (potentially somewhere in the range between $77 and $78) before reversing. We will update our thoughts with the emergence of new developments.

Oil tankers and cargo ships at danger in the Red SeaSince the breakout of the Israel-Hamas War on 7th October 2023, there has been an increasing number of attacks on military and transport ships sailing through the Red Sea, with Houthi rebels from Yemen standing behind many of these incidents. About a week ago, the group went as far as to announce the blockade on ships traveling to and from Israel through the Red Sea, which prompted large transportation companies to announce a pause on shipping through this particular route. The Danish shipping company, A.P. Moller Maersk, announced last Friday that it would halt all shipping via the Red Sea route following a near-miss incident involving Maersk Gibraltar on Thursday and another attack on a container ship. The next day, the Medditerean Shipping Company announced the same thing following Friday’s attack on its vessel MSC Palatium III. These two companies were quickly joined by Hong Kong based Orient Overseas Container Line, Taiwanese Evergreen, Belgian Euronav, and French CMA CGM Group, which happens to be the third-largest container shipping company in the world. Then, yesterday, the first major oil and gas transporter, British Petroleum, announced it would also halt shipments through the Red Sea. As a result, many of the mentioned cargo ships and oil tankers will have to be rerouted via alternative paths; such changes are likely to cause (some) supply chain disruptions and soaring costs for transporting goods (as well as operating expenses for the companies themselves). To resolve the situation after weeks of relentless drone and missile attacks, the United States finally announced yesterday that it would no longer tolerate Houthis’ aggression in the region and that it would form a task force responsible for protecting international waters in the Red Sea and Bab Al-Mandev Strait. As for our outlook for the oil market, it remains unchanged, with a price target of $65 per barrel in 2024. However, we are aware that the situation could deteriorate further if Iran-backed Houthis continue to ramp up their attacks in the foreseeable future (especially against U.S. warships, which has been the case recently). We will closely monitor the situation and report new developments once they arise.

WTI OIL Still in the long-term Buy Zone.WTI Oil (USOIL) hit our 73.50 short-term Target that we called on December 07 (see chart below) but remains within the 2 -month Channel Down:
On the wider 1D time-frame, we can clearly see that the price is still inside the 9-month Buy Zone. The tendency is that when the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) breaks after dipping within the zone, the price approaches the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level.
The 1D RSI is on a Triple Bottom, i.e. confirmed Low and buy opportunity while the 1D MACD is on a Double Bullish Cross. As a result, we are waiting either for another pull-back to 68.00 - 69.00 or the 1D MA50 to break (and close a 1D candle above) and target 82.50 for the medium-term.

Trading Plan:
1. Buy on the MA50 (4h).
Targets:
1. 75.00 (MA200 (4h) and top of the Channel Down).
Tips:
1. The RSI (4h) sequences among the two bullish legs are identical, confirming the bullish sentiment after a pull back.

WTI / OIL H4 Possible LONG Trade. 📈 ✅Hello Traders!
This is my view related to WTI / OIL H4. As you can see, OIL is in a very interesting phase, It took liquidity, set a new daily high, react from the OB (D1), and I expect a bullish movement until the level of 78.000.

A rebound in USOIL might not be done yetLast week, West Texas Intermediate crude oil reached our price target of $70 and slid as low as $68.83 per barrel. After this route, USOIL has slightly rebounded and currently trades near the $71.50 price tag. In the very short term, we acknowledge a potential for the price to continue higher. Indeed, this would be consistent with a natural occurrence of the price retracing toward its moving average, particularly the 20-day SMA. Yet, if the price breaks above this level and starts to consolidate there for a certain period, it might foreshadow even higher price tags; we will reassess our view if we get there. Beyond this short-term speculation about the prospects of further rise in USOIL, we stay bearish. Accordingly, our price target of $65 per barrel for the next year remains valid.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Below the 1W MA200. Critical Support to hold.WTI Crude Oil crossed today under the 1W MA200, which is a level that, even though it broke on occassions this year, hasn't closed a 1D candle under it since February 1st 2021. Those occasions are marked by circles on your chart and as you see despite breaking under it, the price rose intraday closing the candles over the 1W MA200 at the end of those sessions, essentially holding it as long term Support.
It is now critical therefore for buyers to hold the 1W MA200 and push the candle above it before the closing bell today. The 1D technical outlook is strongly bearish (RSI = 31.049, MACD = -2.590, ADX = 35.758), which is normal considering that the commodity has been trading inside a Channel Down since the September 28th High. However having touched the 30.000 oversold level on the 1D RSI, it makes the case for a rebound stronger, since every time it gold oversold during this (almost) 2 year span, an aggressive rebound followed.
Consequently, as long as the 1D candles close over the 1W MA200, we will be buying and aming for the top of the Channel Down (TP = 76.50) and potentially the 1D MA50. If however the candle closes under it, we will aim for the 1.786 Fibonacci extension (TP = 66.50) as the November 8th Lower Low did.
