ENERGY SELECT SECTOR SPDR ETF ( $XLE 1D) the cup is full Everyone is well aware that the current state of the world economy is dire. In my previous analysis I was following the price of WTI and USOIL (link below) but due to the MAY contract debacle the charts are now trash. So, now to monitor the advancement of the recovery I will now use the Energy sector ETF XLE. It will not be a leading indicator as a transportation index would, but it can be a good indication of the overall economic activity or expectations. The recent “crash” is what’s look like capitulation (high spread on high volumes). It could take time to recover. Maybe months. On a daily time-frame however I identify a pseudo cup and handle pattern. Even if it’s not a full reversal on higher time-frames it can lead to a good swing trade. The price is now retesting the neckline of the pattern ( 35.90) as a support, so it is a good entry point and a good way to manage risk. Target 41.60 to close the gap then 47.41 last resistance. The price made a double bottom several weeks ago. Bullish div RSI Let us see how all this will turn out. As time goes by, I will keep you updated on the evolution of the asset price, so make sure to follow me on Tradingview If you have any questions or requests, fell free to ask @Djio_ . Disclaimer : This is not financial advice as I am not a financial adviser. This is just my knowledge on what can be said and done from the chart. Due to the volatile nature of the market, everything can change on a day to day basis. Everyone is wise to manage their risk properly when considering any trading decision or activities. PS: I cannot emphasize enough the risk associated with the activity of trading ETF due to the imaginary nature of all paper contracts, the reason why I prefer mainly trading cryptocurrencies instead of more “traditional” assets. On the other end without total systemic collapse it can quickly become a good trade opportunity .

Oil Prices Will Determine Where The Stock Market Goes From HereWhile the stock market continues to march higher, economic fundamentals continue to deteriorate. Forward-looking in nature, the stock market tends to discount (ignore) what is happening now in anticipation of what is to come over the next 6-9 months. Although top-down stimulus from central banks and governments have propped up financial markets, economic data points across the globe are signaling a prolonged downturn. For the first time in modern history (BP started keeping recording in 1861), WTI oil prices traded into negative territory reaching $-36.20 per barrel. In essence, storage facilities were giving away oil because they had no more room to store it. Oil markets have been telling us what is truly going on. But are investors listening? Two weeks ago, OPEC+ decided to cut oil production by approximately 9.7 million barrels per day starting in May. Since that time, energy prices have been extremely volatile, falling further. Why did oil prices continue to fall despite the cut in supply? Lack of demand. Despite the fact that OPEC+ vowed to cut global supply by 10%, the gap between supply and demand has grown. Since the coronavirus accelerated, global demand for oil has fallen by 30%, leaving a 20% (20 million barrels per day) gap after accounting for OPEC+ cuts that start next month. The lack of demand has been widespread. According to Rystad Energy AS and the Trafigura Group, energy demand is expected to fall by 28-35 million barrels per day. U.S. oil demand has fallen 30% to 14.4 million barrels a day, the lowest level going back to 1990. In its short-term outlook, the EIA forecasts the hit to oil demand will be 16.7 million barrels a day. According to country officials, India’s crude demand (third-biggest consumer) has collapsed by ~70% as the country endures the largest national lockdown. Canadian oil producers expect the gap between supply and demand to reach more than 1.1 million barrels a day in the second quarter. In Spain, oil product demand fell by 23% in March. With gasoline and road diesel falling by 35.5% and 26.5% respectively. In Italy, which together with Spain imposed some of Europe’s harshest restrictions on movement, retail fuel sales have plunged 85%. The relationship between the S&P 500 and oil prices has strengthened over the last six weeks. The correlation (relationship) stood at .07 (statistically insignificant) in the middle of February, that figure now stands at .86 (statistically significant). Assuming there are no sizable policy stimulus that distorts prices further, I expect oil prices to dictate where the stock prices go from here. Oil price increases driven by short-term reductions in supply will not be enough. Globally, oil makes up 34% of our energy usage. Only an increase in demand will signal a genuine economic recovery. At some point, the stock market and economic fundamentals will need to be reconciled. -Appo Agbamu, CFA This material is for informational purposes only.

XLE - Energy sector SPDR S/R levelsHello traders, Description of the analysis: Everyone sees an opportunity in the oil market. Personally, I would not invest in this commodity. There is a surplus of oil, there is no place to store it and no one wants it. It can't stop mining. But investing in the entire XLE energy sector could be interesting. Here are the main S/R zones where the price could react. Everyone makes their own point of view. About me: Hi, my name is Jacob Kovarik and I´m trading on stock exchange since 2008. I started with a capital of 3000 USD. My first strategy was based on OTM options. (American stock index and their ETF ). I´ve learnt on my path that professional trading is based on two main fundaments which have to complement each other, to make a bussiness attitude profitable. I´ve tried a lot of techniques and many manners how to analyze the market. From basic technical analysis to fundamental analysis of single title. My analytics gradually changed into professional attitude. I work with logical advantages of stock exchange (return of value back to average, volume , expected volatility , advantage of high stop-loss, the breakdown of time in options, statistics and cosistent thorough control of risk). At the moment, my main target is ITM on SPM index. Biggest part of my current bussiness activity comes from e mini futures (NQ, ES). I´m trader of positions. I´m from Czech republic and I take care of a private fund (4 000 000 USD). During my career I´ve earned a lot of valuable experience, such as functionality of strategies and what is more important, control of emotions. Professional trading is, in my opinion, certain kind of mental training and if we are able to control our emotions, accomplishment will show up. I will share with you my analysis and trades on my profile. I wish to all of you successul trades. Jacob
