WTI Oil- Will it drop under 70?In my previous Wti Oil analysis, I draw attention to the possibility of a double top formed above 120 with the neckline at the 92 zone.
Oil has dropped under this support and confirmed this zone as new resistance.
At this moment the price is also under 85 support and the road looks clear for continuation.
The next obvious level of support is around 65 and as long as 85 is intact sell rallies is my strategy.

USOil | New perspective for the weekOn a weekly basis, we have witnessed how the price of oil fell for a fourth straight week to incite a risk of a further decline in price action in the coming week. However, I won't be jumping to conclusions considering the current structure as we need to look out for significant signals that will guide our actions during the new week.

WTI DWINDLES BETWEEN HIGH RATES AND THIGHT SUPPLYWTI remains indecisive. On one hand traders are suspecting continuous increase of the interest rates, after Fed decision in Wednesday. On the other hand, the further escalation by Russia of the war in Ukraine and the thread by the Nigerian oil minister Timipre Marlin Sylva that OPEC+ will decrease production if prices keep falling, are creating fear of tightened supply.
All technical indicators are suggesting downtrend for WTI price, with MACD histogram being below the 0 line and RSI being below the neutral 50 line.
If price keeps falling, it might test its most recent low at 80.9, but if the trend reverses, it might test its resistance at 89.7 or even the one at 97.2

WTI OIL at a critical make or break pointThe WTI Crude Oil (USOIL) has been trading within a structured Channel Down pattern since the March 08 market High, following the immense growth after the COVID 2020 demand crisis. We have covered the Higher Lows zones since the November 02 2020 Low (green circle) and the March 23 2021 Low (blue circle) extensively over the past months on the higher time-frames, which is where Oil is trading at the moment.
Basically the price is at the bottom of both the Channel Down and the Higher Lows zone since Nov 02 2020 2021. The bearish sentiment got stronger when the price got rejected exactly on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) on August 30 and turned even worse on September 02 when the 1D MA50 crossed below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) to form the bearish pattern of the Death Cross. This is the first time we see this formation since February 25 2020!!
This was a huge bearish sign at the past as it preceded the COVID crash. As long as the Nov 2020 Higher Lows Zone (dotted lines) hold, the Death Cross effect may be postponed for the short-term but only if the 1D MA50 breaks. A first sign towards that bullish break-out may be the Bullish Divergence on the 8H MACD, which is on Higher Lows while Oil has been on Lower Lows since June 22. Also the 8H MACD resembles the July 09 - August 19 2021 fractal, which rebounded on the March 23 2021 zone. Technically the Channel Down should make a new Lower High within 105.00 - 110.00.
A break below the Channel Down though, should finally test the March 23 2021 Higher Lows zone (dashed lines) and at this point under the current fundamentals seems like the most likely scenario. Even if we do get that rebound on the short-term, it would be much safer to be positioned systematically with sells on the rallies, as the Death Cross indicates that the long-term trend is gradually turning bearish .

OIL target reached. UPDATEOIL showed one more bos, and now we have a new price expansion to the downside. Please check the linked ideas for better context.
📉 Text marks:
🔹 IL = impulse leg. Inside of IL we can usually see inside structure, which is secondary in nature, like a market noise, unless you trade it on LTF, as it’s own IL.
🔹 ph, pl = protected high or low, which holds current structural impulse.
🔹 bos = break of structure . Based on candle body close below/above previous structural impulse.
🔹 rsz, rdz = refined supply and demand zones. Specific areas to look for LTF confirmations. They are manipulative up-moves before real down moves, or vice versa. Strong hands (the Composite Man, as Wyckoff called it) often come back to such zones to close their manipulative orders at breakeven, before pushing prices further.
🔹 if confirmed = entry only if there's a shift of structure on lower TF inside of rsz or rdz, or any other type of backtested and approved confirmation.
🔹 liq target = liquidity target: next profit taking levels for strong hands, our main targets based on current price action.

USOIL 5th SEPTEMBER 2022The standoff over Russia's gas and oil exports escalated on Friday after Moscow promised to close its main gas supply pipeline to Germany and G7 countries announced plans for price caps on Russian oil exports aimed at squeezing Russia's war chest in Ukraine. This latest closure of the Nord Stream pipeline, which Russia says will last as long as it takes to make repairs, adds to concerns over winter gas shortages that could pull major economies into recession and lead to energy rationing. Europe accuses Russia of weaponizing energy supplies in what Moscow calls an "economic war" with the West following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Moscow blames Western sanctions and technical problems for supply disruptions.
USOIL 8th SEPTEMBER 2022Oil prices fell sharply on Wednesday (September 7th), slipping below levels seen before Russia's invasion of Ukraine as dismal Chinese trade data and growing fears of a global economic recession hurt fuel demand.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil futures for October delivery plunged US$4.94 or 5.7 percent.
With lower prices this time it is a good opportunity to supply companies that are optimistic about surviving the recession and tightening monetary policy.
This week, OPEC+ is scheduled to discuss oil production cuts as part of their future strategy.
OPEC+ revised the market balance this year and expects demand to lag supply by 400,000 barrels per day (bpd) compared to the previous estimate of 900,000 bpd.
However, the group of major oil producers expects the oil market to be in deficit by 300,000 bpd by 2023.
WTI OIL 1st Death Cross since February 2020! Huge sell ahead??The WTI Crude Oil ( USOIL ) has been trading within a structured Channel Down pattern since the March 08 market High, following the immense growth after the COVID 2020 demand crisis. We have covered the Higher Lows zones since the November 02 2020 Low (green circle) and the March 23 2021 Low (blue circle) extensively over the past months on the higher time-frames, which is where Oil is trading at the moment.
Basically the price is at the bottom of both the Channel Down and the Higher Lows zone since Nov 02 2020 2021. The bearish sentiment got stronger when the price got rejected exactly on the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) on August 30 and turned even worse on September 02 when the 1D MA50 crossed below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) to form the bearish pattern of the Death Cross. This is the first time we see this formation since February 25 2020!!
This was a huge bearish sign at the past as it preceded the COVID crash. With the Nov 2020 Higher Lows Zone (dotted lines) holding for now, the Death Cross effect may be postponed for the short-term but only if the 1D MA50 breaks, since we have the 1D RSI forming the same bullish break-out pattern as with April 2022, which was the Lower Low formation within the Channel Down that initiated the rebound to the Lower Highs trend-line. A Bullish Divergence can be also seen on the 8H MACD with it being on Higher Lows while Oil has been on Lower Lows since June 22. However it is about to break lower, which will invalidate all the above.
Technically the Channel Down should make a new Lower High within 110.00 - 115.00. A break below it though, should finally test the March 23 2021 Higher Lows zone (dashed lines). Even if we do get that rebound on the short-term, it would be much safer to be positioned systematically with sells on the rallies, as the Death Cross indicates that the long-term trend is gradually turning bearish.

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 Crude Oil OPEC+ Token Supply CutOPEC+ unexpectedly decided to cut output in October by 100,000 barrels a day.
Emily Ashford (Standard Chartered analyst): “Last month’s adjustment provided a nod to the demands of the consumers, this monthly adjustment is a small nod to the concerns of the producers,”
Deepening energy crisis in Europe after Russian energy giant Gazprom PJSC said gas flows along a key pipeline to Germany would not resume.
In this economic context my short term price target for WTI Crude Oil is $99.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
WTI: Screeeeeech!Can you hear WTI’s brakes screeching from the chart? Well, we definitely can! Quite vehemently, WTI has hit the brakes just short of the bottom of the blue zone between $91.70 and $87.08 – and rightly so! There isn’t all that much room left to finish wave b in blue! In fact, WTI should complete it no later than the support at $85.73. Then, it should turn around and climb upwards, gradually crossing the resistances at $101.88 and at $105.24 to enter the turquoise zone between $107.12 and $119.94. There, it should finish wave b in turquoise, before moving downwards again. However, there is a 32% chance that WTI could drop below the support at $85.73, which would then trigger further descent.
WTI oil - Change in a rhetoric of the OPECIn our last idea on oil, we outlined a scenario for a downtrend correction if the breakout above the sloping resistance took place. A few days later, the breakout occurred, and technical indicators turned bullish. Additionally, a slight change in the rhetoric of OPEC came, with Saudi Arabia and other members hinting at looming production cuts. This development forces us to abandon our price targets because of OPEC's ability to maintain a floor or a lid on oil prices. We will update our thoughts as we get more information concerning the cartel's production. Until then, we abstain from setting price targets for USOIL.

The chart above shows the bullish breakout above the prior resistance.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI is bullish. The same applies to Stochastic and MACD. However, MACD stays below 0 points; if it breaks above, it will be bullish. DM+ and DM- performed bullish crossover. Overall, the daily time frame is bullish.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI strives to reverse to the upside; the same applies to Stochastic and MACD. DM+ and DM- are bearish. Overall, the weekly time frame is neutral/slightly bullish.

WTI BULLISH OUTLOOKWTI rose in value in response of potential OPEC+ cuts and conflict in Libya. This possibility of supply cuts was enough to offset the effect of the strong US dollar.
WTI broke the resistance line of the ascending triangle pattern, a bullish outlook, supported as well by the RSI and MACD indicators.
The instrument might test its previous support level at 99.70, but if the break turns out to be false, the instrument might test its previous support at 94.70

WTI OIL Bullish divergence could give one last pumpThe WTI Crude Oil (USOIL) has been trading within a structured Channel Down pattern since the March 08 market High, following the immense growth after the COVID 2020 demand crisis. We have covered the Higher Lows zones since the November 02 2020 Low (green circle) and the March 23 2021 Low (blue circle) extensively over the past months on the higher time-frames, but this time we will focus on the Bullish Divergences forming on the lower time-frames (t-f).
The chart is on the 1D t-f, as well as the RSI with the MACD on the 8H t-f. As you see, the price is currently testing the August 11 High, which is its short-term Resistance and happens to be also on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line), which rejected Oil on that particular High. A break above it would be on its own a strong bullish break-out signal on the short-term.
The 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) is just above the MA200. On the flipside this means that it will form a Death Cross pattern, which is technically a bearish formation, for the first time since the Feb 25 2020 Death Cross, which preceded the COVID crash. With the Nov 2020 Higher Lows Zone (dotted lines) though right below, the Death Cross effect may be postponed for the short-term. Especially by having the 1D RSI forming the same bullish break-out pattern as with April 2022, which was the Lower Low formation that initiated the rebound to the Lower Highs trend-line of the Channel Down. The Bullish Divergence is more evident on the 8H MACD with them being on Higher Lows while Oil has been on Lower Lows since June 22.
Technically the Channel Down should make a new Lower High within 110.00 - 115.00. A break below it though, should finally test the March 23 2021 Higher Lows zone (dashed lines).

USOIL 23rd AUGUST 2022Oil prices briefly surged in mid-trade due to a push to raise the Fed's benchmark interest rate. However, prices eased back after investors believed that the US central bank's policy this month was to maintain interest rates.
Another factor, the US dollar strengthened again to its highest level in five weeks, which limited the increase in crude oil prices. This is because oil becomes more expensive for buyers with non-US dollar currencies.
US Dollar Index
Oil prices will not be too bearish, this is due to the prospect of higher demand entering the winter season.
WTI OIL 3rd week below the 1W MA50. Critical Support below.The WTI Crude Oil (USOIL) opened the week yesterday on the 3rd straight 1W candle below the 1W MA50 (blue trend-line). Last time that such streak took place was in early November 2020! It is therefore easy to understand that if this level is not recovered, Oil may enter a new Bear Cycle. On the short-term we ideally want to see a candle closing above the 1D MA200 (red trend-line), in order to trigger a buy signal, targeting the Lower Highs of the March Top.
Until then, the short-term price action calls for further selling towards the November 2020 Higher Lows trend-line. A closing below should be enough to trigger a bearish extension to the March 2021 Higher Lows. The 1W RSI has been trading within a Channel Down since March 2021 and is close to its bottom. That is an indicator showing that if it starts reversing, we may see a rebound (at least on the medium-term) on the November 2020 Higher Lows. We will follow with many updates until then.

WTI OIL Rejection on the 1D MA200.The WTI CRUDE OIL (USOIL) is trading within a Channel Down since June 29, following quite closely the outlook we presented 1 month ago, as it hit the 1D MA300 (red trend-line) target:
As you see, it has been below the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) all this time and the longer it does, the more likely it is to print a Lower Low within the Channel Down on the dotted long-term Higher Lows trend-line around 82.00. This is further enhanced by today's rejection on the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line). If however it breaks above the 1D MA50, look for a reversal towards the Lower Highs of March 08.
