Oil Drops Below $68 Amid Trade Wars and Oversupply RisksCrude Oil drops on oversupply risks and weakening demand expectations Key Events: - Trade wars between the world’s largest economies heightens inflation and economic contraction risks - OPEC plans to unwind supply cuts in April despite oversupply concerns. - Trump - Ukraine dispute may disrupt oil's bearish trend if tensions escalate with the EU and Russia. Key Levels: Oil eyes a 4-year support zone ($63.80–$66), and the potential for the consolidation to extend above that zone persists. - A close below $63.80 may extend declines to $61.50, $60, and $55 (aligning with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement of the 2020-2022 uptrend. - A hold above $68.80 could cap gains at $70.50, $73.50, and $75. Upside potential on Oil is expected to remain short-lived given the bearish implications of trade wars in tandem with oil's 2022 - 2025 dominant downtrend. A clean close above 78-80 zone may reinforce longer term bullish expectations. - Razan Hilal, CMT

Oil drops againCrude oil rallied sharply last Thursday, but not by enough to push prices into positive territory for the week, let alone the month of February. It went on to sell off sharply yesterday, following a report that OPEC+ would not be extending their production cuts beyond April. The production cuts have been running since May 2023, and have been extended on several occasions. Most analysts believed that OPEC would roll over the cuts beyond April, given the supply dynamics that have kept prices subdued, along with a succession of downgrades to the demand growth outlook. It is now estimated that supply will be boosted by an additional 138,000 barrels per day, mostly from Saudi Arabia and Russia. With Trump’s tariffs on Mexico and Canada kicking in today, and with China retaliating against additional tariffs with levies of its own on US imports, the world trade situation is getting increasingly, and unnecessarily, complex. Front-month WTI continues to trade south of $70 per barrel and this will be its first hurdle on any rally attempt. The daily MACD is in negative territory, but it is not back to the kind of oversold levels from which big rallies have previously begun. Overall, it feels as if the bears have control, having driven back prices from the highs made in mid-January. Back then, crude looked as if it had finally broken out of a downtrend which had been building from September 2023. Crude was lower again this morning, shrugging off some relatively upbeat manufacturing data from China. Investors have yet to be convinced that the Chinese economy is ready to recover from its disastrous property collapse. This saw the evaporation of billions of yuan, with a significant proportion owned by private citizens, and the subsequent loss of confidence.

USOIL Short Idea - 4H ChartWTI Crude Oil (USOIL) is currently facing strong resistance at the 70.50 - 71.00 supply zone, aligning with the 200 EMA rejection and previous structural resistance. The price has failed to break above this level and is showing signs of bearish momentum. Trade Setup: 🔹 Entry: Look for bearish confirmation near the 70.50 - 71.00 supply zone. 🔹 Stop Loss: Above 71.20, beyond recent highs to avoid stop hunts. 🔹 Target: The next major support zone near 66.00 - 66.50, a key demand area. The trend remains bearish below the 200 EMA, and the recent pullback into resistance presents a potential continuation of the downtrend. If price holds below the resistance zone, expect a further decline towards lower support levels. 📉 Watch for: Bearish rejections, engulfing candles, or lower timeframe confirmations before entering a short position. 🔔 Stay patient and follow risk management! 🚀

Crude Oil - The Manipulation of Trend LinesIn this example on Crude Oil I give some insight into how trendlines and traditional support & resistance theories may be used by "smart money" for the purposes of facilitating their positions via inducing liquidity. Basically, trendlines are drawn along the highs or lows of price movements and help to identify the direction and strength of a trend. They serve as visual guidelines for traders, highlighting potential turning points or continuation patterns. Support and resistance levels are areas where the price historically finds a floor or ceiling, leading many market participants to place their entry and exit orders around these zones. Because these levels are based on historical price action, they hold significant psychological value among retail traders. The Mechanism of Liquidity Manipulation Liquidity Pools and Stop Loss Clusters: Retail traders often cluster their stop losses near prominent support or resistance levels. Smart money is aware of these liquidity pools and can engineer price moves to trigger these stops. For example, by intentionally nudging the price through a known support level, institutional players can trigger a cascade of stop-loss orders. This “stop run” injects a burst of liquidity into the market, which can then be absorbed as positions are liquidated at less favorable prices for retail traders. False Breakouts and Reversals: Another common tactic involves creating false breakouts. A price move that breaks above a resistance level (or below a support level) might initially appear to signal a new trend. However, smart money can deliberately drive prices just past these technical barriers to trigger stop-loss orders and entry orders. Once sufficient liquidity is collected from the triggered orders, they may reverse the move. This reversal traps traders who anticipated a sustained breakout, leaving them with positions that quickly turn against them. Exploiting Herd Behavior and Market Sentiment: The widespread reliance on technical analysis means that many traders have similar expectations about where price will reverse or accelerate. This collective mindset, or herd behavior, creates predictable zones of liquidity. Smart money can capitalize on these self-fulfilling prophecies by anticipating the mass reaction around key trendlines and support/resistance levels. They use this insight to position themselves ahead of the crowd, executing large trades that move the market in their favor. Strategic Benefits for Smart Money By manipulating these common technical levels, smart money participants can: Maximize Efficiency: Accumulate or distribute large positions with minimal market impact by tapping into pre-existing liquidity pools. Control Market Direction: Influence short-term price movements to create advantageous conditions for larger trades. Enhance Risk-Reward Profiles: Trigger stop losses at critical junctures, effectively reducing their own risk while capitalizing on forced exits from retail traders. Conclusion While trendlines and support/resistance are invaluable tools for assessing market structure and potential price movements, they also serve as instruments for liquidity manipulation by experienced market participants. The predictable nature of stop-loss placements and entry orders around these levels creates opportunities for smart money to trigger cascades of orders, generating liquidity in their favor. As a result, retail traders must be aware of these dynamics and consider them when planning their trades, acknowledging that what appears to be a genuine breakout may, in fact, be a carefully orchestrated move to capture liquidity. This nuanced understanding highlights the double-edged nature of technical analysis tools in modern trading. By appreciating both their utility and potential for manipulation, traders can better navigate the complex interplay between market psychology and institutional strategy.
