Oil (CL) Short Term Impulsive Structure Suggests Further UpsideOil (CL) ended cycle from 9.28.2023 high as a 5 waves impulse. Down from 9.28.2023 peak, wave 1 ended at 81.5 and rally in wave 2 ended at 90.78. The instrument then extended lower in wave 3 towards 74.91. The 1 hour chart below shows the move down ending wave 3. Then it corrected in wave 4 which ended at 79.77. Oil then resumed lower in wave 5 towards 72.16 and this completed wave (A) in higher degree. Wave (B) rally is presently in progress as a zigzag Elliott Wave structure ABC. Up from wave (A), wave (i) ended at 73.21 and pullback in wave (ii) ended at 72.75. Oil extended higher in wave (iii) towards 76.63 and dips in wave (iv) ended at 76.20. Final leg wave (v) ended at 78.22 which completed wave ((i)). Pullback in wave ((ii)) is currently in progress to correct rally from 11.17.2023 low before it resumes higher. Down from wave ((i)), wave (a) ended at 76.92. While below wave ((i)) at 78.22, expect Oil to turn lower again in wave (c) of ((ii)) before it resumes higher. Near term, as far as 11.17.2023 pivot at 72.14 holds, expect pullback to find support in 3, 7, or 11 swing for further upside.

Oil is going higher Silver is not entirely clear11.20.23 For the last week and so far for this week... oil is the market you want to be following and trading. Silver was tradable but it's a little difficult to take a trade even though it's a opening price short trade today. Every market has easy trades and hard trades... which means you have to work harder for the markets that aren't so easy on any given day. Personally, I try to wait for the easier trades... and I try to acknowledge when I'm working too hard on the More difficult trades.... and just in case... I keep the stuff small. Oil is more like a significant correction lower and now it's time for a nice big swing higher because of the way it reversed on Friday. If you miss all of the breakouts lower on oil you will make up a lot of that as a buyer on Friday. One of the reasons why I like range boxes is that a range box that has a very significant range.... and you know the buyers are at the bottom of the range and sellers are at the top.... it's much simpler to trade the ranges a lot of times. If you can, you want to learn how to be a swing trader so that you can stay in a good market longer and let the market run for you.... than always trying to Scalp. I found it very hard to do both... and it took me a long time to realize it had something to do with my personality and the way it affected my trading. I believe every trade should be analyzed before and after the trade and sometime during the analysis I always ask "What did I do wrong... and how can I fix it"?

WTI Crude Oil front expiration: Navigating Correction and TargetThe WTI crude oil market experienced a robust response, essentially reversing the downward trend observed on Thursday's session. Currently, the market is exhibiting a corrective structure, and we are monitoring whether it follows a pattern of 3 waves (ABC) or 5 waves (ABCDE). As of our current position, the delta stands at -0.03, indicating a neutral stance. The bullish outlook has seen success with the attainment of the target at $76.00 indicated in the previous report, if the upward pressure would persist, the next targets are located on $77.50 as first and at $78.50 as second. It's essential to note that, as our position is currently neutral, our trading system doesn't set any rebalancing level or stop loss. On the bearish side, the initial target is set at $75.00, followed by the second target at $73.90. In simpler terms, the market initially faced a downturn but has since shown signs of correction. Our position is currently delta neutral, with specific target levels for both bullish and bearish scenarios.

Inflation Wins, We LoseThere are two kinds of inflation, the normal one and the dangerous one. Printing money creates inflation. The kind however which is not dangerous to the foundation of the economy. With money printing, currency loses value and prices react accordingly. Nobody gets wealthy from money printing, and in a sense, "nobody" gets poor. By nobody I mean the economy as an average doesn't really get hurt. Inflation however widens the gap between poor and wealthy. Poor get poorer while rich get richer... Inflation analysis can be very simple. If one believes in simple support/resistance levels from consolidation patterns, then the following picture can be drawn for the standard inflation chart. For further validation, we can try analyzing commodities like oil. In the main chart, crude oil value is divided by the "total value of money in circulation". The value of money is the yield percentage. A massive consolidation pattern formed in 1986-2002, on which we are now supported. I believe that price cannot drop much lower than the point we are in. Dips can be expected, but in macro scale the chart is bullish. From the chart above, we conclude that oil prices (inflation) will grow compared to yields themselves. Each increase in yields (inflation fighting) will lead to higher oil prices (higher inflation). Charts like these prove the Catch-22 phenomenon we are in. This is the bad kind of inflation. This inflation is un-fixable. There is a plethora of charts that prove what I say, that inflation is unfixable. One of these charts is GOLD*PPIACO. @SPY_Master used the GOLD*DBC chart as a measure of inflation. Gold*PPIACO can be considered as another very-long-term inflation measure. Commodity production cost is bull-flagging against money supply itself. So okay, we all expect more inflation. And surely, equity prices have priced this in, right? Wrong. Equities have priced-in that the FED is controlling inflation. Investors expect both inflation and the FED to calm soon. So, equities have priced-in something that will never come. An investment can suffer when the investor judges the situation wrong. An investor who has understood the situation, "cannot" go bankrupt. Equity prices show that markets ignore the FED. In the chart above, DJI is divided by the yield curve as an attempt to measure the ability of equities to grow in a progressively tighter economy (falling yield-curve, negative yield curve). Even with all that money destruction and yield increases, equities are making all-time highs. The markets are very stubborn. The yield curve may describe the "ease" the market shows for equities. In normal times, the yield curve is positive, long-term yields are higher than short-term ones. This encourages short-term borrowing and stimulates the economy. As the yield curve steadily lowers, short-term money borrowing is less and less interesting for investors. (In the Spaaace!!! idea linked below, you can find more information about the DJI/yield-curve chart) High inflation and stubborn markets by themselves don't render equities as worthless. After all, equities survived in the stagflation period of 1970s. While the stagflation outcome can play out, there are things that may happen before it. There are some charts which are very concerning for equities... We tend to talk about the crypto bubble, and ignore the equity one. Equities have been consistently growing for the last 15 years. But thanks to what? Are companies in a "better shape" than they were in 2010? Sure technology has evolved, but from dependable devices we are now filled with unstable gadgets. Consumer devices as well as corporate ones, are more vulnerable than ever before. Security gaps are now appearing from big-tech companies to banks. Sure, issues like these were commonly occurring throughout history. But let's consider, is the immense equity growth representative of the dependence we can have on companies and their products/services? Are equities growing because of actual innovation, or from the easy way of derivatives? This chart shows the diminishing nature of derivatives. They are exponentially losing value, but their effect is much bigger than their cost. A purchase of cheap derivatives can bubble-up anything you can hope for. Where does this chart lead us? This chart attempts to calculate the effect of derivatives in QQQ price. Before 2020, QQQ consisted of a "stable" amount of derivatives. Price moved in the channel. In 2021 a bull-flag formed and launched the chart in incredible new highs (where we are now). It is one way to visualize the immense effect of derivatives, especially in big-tech stocks. (More about this chart in the "who would you trust with your money" idea linked below) Even if Bitcoin is "overpriced", it will be the winner if this golden bull-flag breaks out. Bitcoin seems to be beating many investments. Even if it may not be considered a commodity, it certainly behaves like one. Even if equities grow, each upwards move for equities, will lead to much higher prices for Bitcoin. Just like Bitcoin is bull-flagging against the most powerful of equity bubbles (QQQ Derivatives), commodities are bull-flagging against the most stable of equities (DJI) Not all equities are grim though... We may be witnessing a massive wealth transfer away from US corporations. In this idea, I attempt to analyze the massive shift of balance that we may be witnessing. While much harm has come to Europe from the war, almost everything is priced in. If the chart is correct, it means that every upwards move for US equities will push Germany further upwards. Germany has been enjoying a massive influx of money from the entire EU. After swallowing the entire European market, it is now forming a bull-flag against Europe and other countries. Germany as well as emerging markets prove a significant challenge for the US. These are bad news indeed for US equities... Tread lightly, for this is hallowed ground. -Father Grigori

Crude Oil Found The Support?Crude oil is trading lower, currently showing blue wave C in late stages of a corrective wave B pattern. We can also see now five subwaves down within C from 88/89 zone, where final subwave (5) of C can be now coming to an end with a huge volume increase. We can actually already see a sharp bounce from the support that can be signal for a minimum three-wave recovery back to 80 area. If we get a five-wave impulsive recovery back above channel resistance line and 80.00 level, that's when we may call a bottom for crude.
