MCL: One-Two Punch Could Lift Crude Oil to Higher GroundNYMEX: Micro WTI Crude Oil Futures ( NYMEX:MCL1! ) On September 18th, the U.S. Federal Reserve cut interest rate by a supersized 50 basis points, ushering a long-awaited monetary easing cycle. Six days later, on September 24th, China introduced a broad stimulus package to revive its economy. It includes cutting interest rates, reducing bank reserve requirements, supporting the property sector, and injecting liquidity into the stock market. Specifically, • The People’s Bank of China (PBOC), China’s central bank, cut its 7-day reverse repurchase rate to 1.5% from 1.7% • The PBOC slashed the reserve requirement ratio of financial institutions by 0.5% • The PBOC lowered home mortgage downpayment requirements to 15%; previously, those buying houses other than primary residence were required to put down 25% • Separately, the PBOC would advise banks to lower mortgage interest rate by 0.5% • The PBOC also announced a new RMB $1 trillion long-term credit facility (equivalent to US$143 billion). It allows financial institutions to use their stocks, bonds and ETF funds as collateral to obtain funding from the PBOC. The use of fund is specifically earmarked for credit lending to publicly traded companies for stock buyback Each of these policies is a major stimulus measure. Putting together, they have the potential to reshape the economic outlook for China, and for the rest of the world as well. Following the announcement, Chinese stock markets clocked their best week in 16 years as the CSI 300 rallied 15.7%. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index recorded a weekly gain of 12.75%. On Friday, the CSI 300 climbed 4.47% to close at 3,703.68, its highest level in a year, while the HSI rose 3.32% to 20,586.94, its highest since February 2023. On Monday, September 30th, China’s SSE Composite Index rallied 8.06%, closing at 3,336.50. This marks a nine-day winning streak, its best day since September 2008 and its highest point since August 2023. In 2024, China’s economy has slowed significantly. Last week, China released its industrial profit data for August, which saw a 17.8% plunge year on year. On a year-to-date basis, profits at large industrial firms grew at 0.5% to 4.65 trillion yuan ($663.47 billion) for the first eight months, down from 3.6%. However, China’s supersized monetary policies could help its economy turn a corner. It is highly expected that China’s Ministry of Finance will follow suit to announce new fiscal stimulus and add more ammunition to fuel economic growth. Together, the extraordinary measures installed by the Top 2 economies, which account for 40% of global GDP, could help improve the global economy in a meaningful way. WTI Crude Oil: Higher Demand from Economic Growth While it is still too early to quantify how much the global economy would benefit from these stimulus measures, we could expect higher industrial output from the government credit extension and the lower business cost of capital. The potential impact could be huge for stocks, bonds, foreign exchange and commodities. Today, my analysis concentrates on crude oil. The Fed rate cut and China Stimulus package both exceeded market expectations. These are game changers big enough to reverse the declining trend of crude oil prices. Recent escalation of Middle East conflict would only add to the uncertainty of oil supply. In my opinion, WTI could reclaim the previous levels of $76, $83 and $89, consequently. The expected stimulus from China’s Ministry of Finance and the November 6th FOMC rate cut could support the upward trend if they meet or exceed market expectations. The recent CFTC Commitment of Traders report confirms a shift to the long positions: • As of September 24th, total open interest (OI) of WTI futures was 2,242,432 contracts • Managed Money held 210,469 long and 48,541 short, a 4.3-to-1 ratio • Compared to the previous week, the long positions increased by 24,734, while the shorts decreased by 3,969 contracts; this shows a bullish view building up For someone with a bullish view of crude oil, he could establish a long position in NYMEX Micro WTI Crude Oil Futures ( GETTEX:MCL ). The contract has a notional value of 100 barrels. At 1/10 the size of benchmark WTI Crude Oil contracts, Micro WTI futures offer the same robust trading transparency and price discovery with smaller margin requirements. At Friday closing price of $68.63, each November contract (MCLX) is worth $6,863. CME Group requires an initial margin of $596 for each MCL contract, long or short. Hypothetically, if WTI bounced back to $76.88, its previous high on August 5th, the price increase of $8.25 would produce a gain of $825 (=8.25x100) for a long position. The risk of buying crude oil is that the follow-up government stimulus packages were less than market expectations, which could undermine the growth forecast. To hedge the downside risk, an experienced trader could consider the use of put options on WTI crude oil futures. Happy Trading.

LIGHT CRUDE OIL 1W COMODITIES - CRUDE is still DOWNLIGHT CRUDE OIL 1W COMODITIES - CRUDE is still DOWN It is difficult to understand the current context of raw materials in relation to their behaviour in previous times, and above all what is happening with oil. Until very recently, a conflict in the Middle East meant increases in the price per barrel. At the moment, the hornet's nest is stirred up, but it does not seem to be enough. The Israeli conflict with its close neighbours would have been more than enough for this scenario of increases, and even more so when a nuclear power like Iran is directly mentioned. However, the crude oil market is in a downward spiral that has not yet hit bottom. Whether it is due to the threat of electric cars, the use of renewable energies or any other reason that occurs to us why the oil market is currently bearish. Regardless of the factors that have brought the price to $70 per barrel, we can consider oil (black gold) as an alternative to gold or other reserve assets. If the technology market turns around, everyone will run around like headless chickens and this could be a good safe haven. As for the strategy to follow based on Technical Analysis, our position remains bearish until the price finds a support zone: SUPPORT 1: 57 - 61 SUPPORT 2: 34 - 39 As long as it does not break the bearish channel, we will follow the evolution of the price until it gives buy signals and we will pay special attention to the areas marked as supports. Once our strategy is defined, it is a matter of waiting to enter at the right time.

#202440 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well. tl;dr wti crude oil: 50% pullback is around 68.20 and we are at 68.18. I favor the bulls that they printed a higher low major trend reversal here and 67 will hold. The pattern on the 1h looks like market is forming a round bottom which could lead to a big cup & handle pattern. If they get above 69 on Monday, I do expect 71.5 quickly after an likely a hit of the bear trend line around 72.5. Below 66.8 bears are favored for retest of 65. Quote from last week: comment: Low effort comment last week. Deal with it. Bulls have formed a small pullback bull trend from the 64 low and bears selling below 67 are still trapped. Bears have not gotten one daily bar below the prior bar during the past 8 days. No reason to expect this to change all of a sudden. comment: Bears finally came around last week and got a decent pullback to the 50% pullback from the recent bull leg. At 68.20 market is in total balance and I can’t be anything but neutral. I do think bulls are slightly favored and the 67 low could very well hold. Above 69 I favor the bulls, below 67 the bears. current market cycle: bear trend key levels: 64-74 bull case: Bulls want this to be a higher low major trend reversal and 67 to hold. If they manage that, they can print up to 73 to test the bear trend line starting mid July. As of now, we are at the 50% pb and the pattern does not give you any confirmation. You have to wait for it or trade in the probability with a potentially higher reward if you take the long here. Bulls need to stay above 67 though. Invalidation is below 67. bear case: Bears printed decent bear bars Wednesday & Thursday and it’s reasonable to expect more sideways movement because they want to retest 65 or lower. Same argument for the bears as for the bulls, we are at the 50% pb and there is no confirmation for either side. Below 67 bulls could have their stops and would wait for 64/65 before longing this again. Invalidation is above 69. outlook last week: short term: Bullish near the 4h 20ema until it stops working. Take profits at new highs unless bulls show even bigger strength. → Last Sunday we traded 71 and now we are at 68.18. 4h ema buy worked on Monday but then it stopped on Wednesday. Meh outlook. short term: Neutral. Bullish above 69 and bearish below 67. medium-long term - Update from 2024-09-22: Bears channel is the main pattern right now but bulls are trying to test the upper trend line. There we will see if the bear trend is has another leg down or we move sideways. There is an argument that the spike below 69 was a trap and we continue inside a range 69 - 75/77. current swing trade: None chart update: removed broken bull trend lines

Crude Oil upside Target 71.70Crude oil is presenting a promising buying opportunity as it approaches a crucial support level at $66. This level has demonstrated significant resilience, making it an ideal point for traders looking to enter the market. Our target for this trade is set at $71.70, which aligns with key resistance levels that could be tested as the market moves upward. In addition, our proprietary indicator has signaled a buying opportunity on the daily chart, further validating our bullish stance. The geopolitical tensions in the Middle East add another layer of urgency, as such instability often drives oil prices higher due to supply concerns. As we navigate through these market dynamics, now is an opportune time to consider adding crude oil to your portfolio. Keep an eye on price action around the $66 support, and be prepared for potential upward momentum towards our target of $71.70. Buying at Current Label Stoploss - 66 First Target 70 Second Target 71 Third Target 71.70

Light Crude Oil Futures: Mid East Tensions Fuel Price Surge!Light Crude Oil Futures (CL): NYMEX:CL1! As mentioned in our morning briefing, oil is currently extremely interesting, partly due to increasing tensions in the Middle East and the destruction of oil reserves there as well as in Russia. Consequently, oil prices have surged significantly. We are currently at a level of $85, but we still consider it quite likely that the Wave Y and the overarching Wave II have not yet concluded. We expect a three-part movement towards Y, with this Y anticipated to be in the range between 127.2% and 161.8% of a Wave C. This would place it between $63.2 and $57.4, nearly forming a double bottom with Wave ((b)) at $63.64. We would invalidate this scenario and consider a bullish outlook if we surpass the $90 mark in Crude Oil Futures. Should the price fall from here, we would then expect a five-wave structure downwards. However, caution is advised with oil due to the significant political and geopolitical influences on its price. The upcoming elections at the end of the year are particularly noteworthy, as a lower gasoline price in America is hugely important for electoral success, ensuring wins. With rising oil prices and the depletion of reserves, with hardly any reserves left in America, it will likely be necessary to purchase a large amount of oil. Considering the current economic stance of America, this task appears challenging. There is only one option if the goal is to lower oil prices for repurchasing. Even a $20 difference is substantial when buying as much oil as a country the size of America needs. Therefore, we still expect prices to fall further before we see a reversal.

Crude Oil (CL1!): Waiting for the perfect entry after declineWe have continued to see crude oil prices fall lower and lower since we first analyzed it five months ago. The recent price decline is largely attributed to a worsening demand outlook. According to Commerzbank, the post-pandemic normalisation of demand growth in China has sharply deteriorated. Between April and July, oil demand was even lower than the previous year, and data released last weekend offers little hope for improvement in Chinese crude oil processing for August. Additionally, the International Energy Agency (IEA) has revised its forecast for global oil demand down to 900,000 barrels per day, with China accounting for just 20% of that growth. What was once a driver of demand is now seen as a drag on the market. The IEA projects that oil demand in China will rise by 260,000 barrels per day by 2025. With the continued struggles of global oil demand on one side and Middle East tensions on the other, it makes sense to set a limit order on crude oil as we closely watch how well NYMEX:CL1! respects the key levels on the chart. We're still targeting the $63.23-$57 range for a potential buy-in as we continue to monitor the market for an ideal entry point.

Two weeks up, two days unwound: Bearish crude oil setupCrude oil is one of the few commodities that hasn’t participated in the broader rally this week, weighed down by a report on Thursday that Saudi Arabia will sacrifice higher prices to protect market share. Even before the report dropped there were signals crude was staring at downside, with a key reversal on Wednesday setting the tone. The gains crude took weeks to achieve have been unwound in two sessions, suggesting it’s far easier to sell rallies that buy dips in this environment. That view is reinforced by the uptrend break in RSI (14), a bearish signal on momentum that looks like it’s about to be confirmed by MACD. Thursday’s rout sent WTI through $67.65, a level that has acted as something of a pivot point for prices recently. Given its proximity, it creates a level to build bearish setups around. You could sell around these levels, but my preference would be to wait to see whether the price can take out Thursdays low of $67 first. You could then set a tight stop above $67.65 for protection. On the downside, $64.10 would be an obvious target. While the price and momentum signals are undeniably bearish, being close to quarter-end and with ample optimism out there about the global economy given China’s latest stimulus measures, I’m determined to let the near-term price action to tell me what to do. If it can’t break Thursdays lows, or reverses back above $67.65 and closes there, it would question the near-term bearish bias. Good luck! DS

What’s Putting Crude Oil Prices Under Pressure?At a Glance With vehicle efficiency up and China's economy slowing, WTI crude oil prices experienced late summer lows, though they have since started to rebound Driving would need to increase by nearly 2% each year to keep fuel demand stable Crude oil prices fell sharply in late August and early September. Does this mean that oil is a bargain? The answer is complex. For starters, OPEC+ has taken 3.6 million barrels per day off of the market over the past two years. Secondly, geopolitical tensions remain high. What explains oil’s weakness despite these factors that ordinarily might have supported prices? Vehicle Efficiency The average car in model year 2024 will likely be able to drive as much as 24% further on the same amount of fuel as a similar car from model year 2012. Since a car typically lasts about 12 years, this means that each year drivers around the world need to drive about 2% further than the year before just to keep demand stable. In the U.S., drivers aren’t driving any further than they were back in 2019. Demand From China Last year, 35% of new cars sold in China were EVs, and this year that could grow to over 50%. China’s economy is also growing more slowly than in the past. Since 2005, oil prices have often peaked about one year after peaks in China’s pace of growth. China’s growth rate last crested in 2021, and oil prices peaked a year later in 2022. Moreover, China’s economy decelerated sharply over the summer which might deprive oil of a critical source of demand growth going into late 2024 and into next year. Finally, watch for OPEC+ decisions later this year, which could potentially boost output.

WTI tests 71.50-72.50 resistance zoneOil traders mull over the demand outlook with China's outlook improving after a slew of stimulus, but the US outlook in question after weak consumer confidence data. EIA stockpiles are due later. Oil trades below its falling trendlines and its 200 SMA. The price has recovered from a September low of 65.50. However, the recovery has run into resistance at the 71.50-72.50 zone, which buyers will need to overcome to negate the near-term downtrend. A rise above this resistance zone opens the door to 75.00, the falling trendline resistance, and 77.25, the 200 SMA. Failure to rise above 71.50-72.50 could see the price ease back towards 70.00 before bringing 65.50 into focus.

Lesson 5: Patience – The Key to Long-Term Trading SuccessWelcome to Lesson 5 of the Hercules Trading Psychology Course—Patience: The Key to Long-Term Trading Success. Building upon the foundational traits of Initiative and Discipline covered in previous lessons, today we delve into the essential virtue of Patience. Whether you’re trading stocks, commodities, cryptocurrencies, or any other financial instruments, patience is a crucial element that can significantly influence your trading outcomes. Why is Patience Essential in Trading? Patience is more than just waiting; it’s about making informed decisions and allowing your strategies the necessary time to unfold. In the fast-paced world of trading, it’s easy to feel the urge to act immediately, but this impulsiveness can often lead to mistakes and missed opportunities. Self-Inflicted vs. External Impatience A lot of our impatience is self-inflicted, stemming from our own desires for quick profits and immediate gratification. However, some impatience arises from external factors beyond our control, such as sudden market fluctuations or unforeseen economic events. Understanding the sources of impatience is the first step toward managing it effectively. Avoiding Financial Scams Impatience can make traders vulnerable to financial scams that promise quick returns. Scammers often prey on individuals who are desperate and impatient, offering schemes that sound too good to be true but ultimately lead to significant losses. Recognizing these scams and maintaining patience can protect you from falling victim to deceitful practices. The Long Game vs. Rushing Playing the long game in trading is far more beneficial than rushing into quick trades. Patience allows you to wait for optimal trading opportunities, align your strategies with market conditions, and build a sustainable trading career. Without patience, even the best strategies can falter under the pressure of immediate results. Realistic Trading Plans For those who aren’t starting with substantial capital, patience is key to building a realistic plan for making a living through trading. Setting achievable goals, managing expectations, and avoiding the allure of “get-rich-quick” schemes are essential for long-term success and financial stability. Key Concepts in Trading Successful trading isn’t just about technical analysis or spotting trends; it’s equally about mastering the psychological aspects of trading. Two critical components are money management and trading psychology. Money Management Effective money management involves controlling your risk, setting appropriate trade sizes, and ensuring that no single trade can significantly impact your overall portfolio. It’s about protecting your capital and making informed decisions that align with your financial goals. Trading Psychology Understanding the psychological side of trading—such as initiative and discipline—is where the real magic happens. Many traders struggle with maintaining initiative, which can hinder their trading performance. Additionally, discipline helps traders stick to their strategies and avoid impulsive decisions based on emotions. The Marshmallow Test and Trading Patience The Marshmallow Test, conducted in the 1960s and 1970s at Stanford University, examined how patient children could be. Participants were given the choice between eating a marshmallow immediately or waiting for a short period to receive a second marshmallow. The results revealed that those who exercised patience tended to have better life outcomes, including higher academic achievement and better emotional control. Fast forward to today, and our culture’s emphasis on instant gratification can make it challenging to cultivate patience, especially in trading. The markets don’t cater to our need for immediate satisfaction, and many trading promotions set unrealistic expectations for quick wins. Patience helps traders resist these temptations and focus on long-term success. Forex Education and Leverage While this lesson focuses on all financial markets, it’s worth noting that trading education often emphasizes the use of leverage—a tool that can amplify both profits and losses. Leverage is enticing because it allows traders to control larger positions with a smaller amount of capital. However, without proper understanding and disciplined risk management, leverage can lead to significant losses. Many educational programs and trading platforms showcase flashy tools and promising high returns, which can mislead inexperienced traders into thinking that success is easy. True mastery of trading involves understanding the nuanced nature of market movements and the importance of disciplined strategies over flashy indicators. The Realities of Trading Many individuals enter trading with the misconception that it’s a quick path to financial freedom or a way to eliminate debt. However, the reality is that patience is crucial. Beginners may experience early successes that lead to overconfidence and excessive risk-taking, resulting in substantial losses that shake their confidence. In their rush to recover losses, some traders fall for scams that promise miraculous returns but deliver nothing. This cycle of chasing losses can lead to a pattern of deceit and continual loss, highlighting the importance of patience and disciplined trading. How Scammers Exploit Trading Desperation When traders are desperate and lack knowledge, they become easy targets for scammers. These fraudsters exploit the trader’s impatience and desire for quick profits by offering schemes that seem promising but are fundamentally flawed. One such scam is the dual line scam, which has roots in sports betting but has infiltrated trading markets as well. Scammers make outrageous claims about turning small investments into massive returns, enticing traders with the allure of easy money. They often charge hefty fees for these bogus opportunities, leaving traders financially devastated while the scammers reap the rewards. The Price of Deceitful Trading Consider the example of a trader named Marco, who manipulates the system to profit deceitfully. Marco convinces multiple individuals to bet on opposite outcomes, ensuring that he profits regardless of the market’s direction. Such tactics not only lead to significant losses for unsuspecting traders but also erode trust within the trading community. Why People Fall for Get-Rich-Quick Schemes Individuals like David, Holly, and Sergio are drawn to charismatic figures like Marco because they believe in the promise of effortless success. Despite experiencing losses, the initial taste of profit keeps them hooked, reinforcing unrealistic expectations. This highlights a fundamental flaw in chasing quick profits without understanding the underlying complexities of trading. Why Patience is Key to Achieving Success True trading success requires embracing the long game and committing to continuous self-improvement. Quick money may seem appealing, but it often leads to traps that undermine your trading career. Patience allows you to set realistic goals, persevere through challenges, and build a solid foundation for long-term profitability. Most traders struggle because they don’t maintain their goals long enough, leading to high failure rates despite significant effort. Perseverance and patience are essential to navigating the ups and downs of trading and achieving lasting success. How Can You Succeed in Trading? Success in trading doesn’t necessarily require starting with a large capital. While a substantial investment can provide more opportunities, there are pathways for those with limited funds: Trading on Behalf of Others: Demonstrating consistent wins through demo trading can allow you to manage funds for others, building your reputation and capital over time. Attracting Investors: Wealthy individuals often seek skilled traders to help them earn more than traditional bank interest rates. Showcasing your trading abilities can open doors to lucrative opportunities. Proprietary Trading Firms: These firms provide the capital you need to trade, but they require proven results and may involve upfront costs for training and desk fees. Key Strategies for Successful Trading To excel in trading, it’s essential to implement effective strategies: Find a Reliable Trading System: Look for systems with a solid track record, ideally with results spanning at least a year. Test your system on a demo account or with real money, starting with a manageable investment. Document Your Results: Market your documented trading results online to attract opportunities. Consistent documentation helps in building credibility and attracting potential investors. Engage with Trading Communities: Participate in forums, webinars, and trading groups to share experiences and gain insights. Networking with other traders can provide support and new strategies. Continuous Learning: Stay updated with market trends, new trading tools, and advanced strategies. Invest in your education to refine your skills and adapt to changing market conditions. Why Play the Long Game in Trading? Patience and a long-term perspective are crucial for overcoming obstacles and achieving trading goals. Trading is a journey filled with challenges, and maintaining a realistic timeline helps you stay proactive and committed. By embracing the long game, you recognize that success doesn’t happen overnight. Instead, it results from consistent effort, disciplined strategies, and the ability to navigate through both profitable and challenging times. Subscribing to a disciplined and patient approach ensures sustainable success and minimizes the risks associated with impulsive trading decisions. Conclusion: Embrace Patience to Transform Your Trading Journey Patience is more than just waiting; it’s about making informed decisions and allowing your strategies the necessary time to unfold. By embracing patience, you empower yourself to navigate the complexities of all financial markets with confidence and determination. In Lesson 5, we’ve explored why patience is essential, how impatience can lead to financial scams, and the importance of playing the long game in trading. These elements are vital for building a strong foundation and achieving consistent profitability across all financial markets, whether you’re a swing trader or a day trader. Action Steps: Reflect on Your Patience: Assess how patient you are in your current trading approach. Identify areas where impatience may be affecting your decisions and commit to cultivating greater patience. Develop a Comprehensive Trading Plan: Create a detailed trading plan that outlines your strategies, risk management techniques, and criteria for entering and exiting trades. Ensure that this plan emphasizes patience and long-term success. Implement Robust Risk Management: Protect your capital by setting appropriate stop-loss orders, limiting trade sizes, and diversifying your portfolio across different financial instruments. Maintain a Trading Journal: Document every trade to gain insights into your trading behavior and identify patterns that need improvement. Reflect on your trades to reinforce patience and discipline. Practice Emotional Control Techniques: Incorporate mindfulness practices, meditation, or journaling into your daily routine to manage stress and maintain emotional equilibrium. Engage with the Trading Community: Join forums, attend webinars, or participate in trading groups to share experiences and gain support from fellow patient traders. Trust in Your System: Have confidence in your trading system. Understand that success takes time and that patience is a critical component of achieving long-term profitability.
