WTI could resume upward movementThe bearish trend is still dominant and we have had a clear downward trend. There has been some consolidation since last Friday and a bounce may be due soon.
Entry Point: Wait for the price to break above the downward trendline conclusively during today's morning EUR session.
Considering $79.50 as the profit target, with a stop-loss at $77.50.
NYMEX:CL1!
WTI1! trade ideas
Crude Thursday Forecast I've been very reluctant to publish any idea's this week intra day, as I believe we are in retracement from the amount we sold off recently.
The 4hr wick CE is the point of interest I have where price respected
I am aiming for the 15min SSL to be broken and a setup form this CME open....
Lets wait and see...
OIl setting up for a bounce here, trade or continuation?We've been out of the #Oil trade for some time now.
It since went about 10% higher, no big deal.
Daily analysis:
Broke its recent uptrend.
RSI oversold - Usually gets a bounce at these levels.
It has been trading in between mid 60's & Low 90's.
Intraday looks like it is setting up for a bounce.
--------------------------------
Weekly Analysis:
You'd figure with tension rising that #OIL would be at a 100, at least.
Daily it broke the trend but it's best to wait until Friday to see if it's going back to the lower part of the trend or bouncing.
Historically, RSI doesn't hang around the 50 area much, shown by the yellow arrow.
The Bears are in Control of CrudeTechnical Momentum Weakens
Crude Oil futures are declining in 2024 after correcting down to the 200-day moving average at $77.88. The technical perspective shows momentum studies declining into oversold territories, with the 9-day moving average trading below the 18-day. DMI- is above DMI +, indicating that the market is in a correction phase, while the Average True Range firms to $1.70 daily.
API Inventories Rise
API Inventory tightness has reversed recently, indicating a more relaxed supply picture. Recent API inventory data shows a build of 509,000 barrels. The current EIA inventories are 460 million barrels, compared to the five-year average of 473 million barrels for this period.
Cushing stocks in the Mid-West show 33 million barrels in inventory versus a five-year average of 44 million barrels.
An Expanding Economic Tailwind
The U.S. economy continues to expand in 2024, driven by the high probability of a soft landing, which fuels investor sentiment. Geopolitical tensions have eased recently; however, there is the possibility of a widening Middle Eastern conflict in the future.

Crude - Pre Market Guessing.So I don't take too much of my time on the weekend trying to figure out where price is going to go as price isnt even active.
So barring any exponential moves Sunday open I am still bearish and have :
Monthly Wick CE and target 1
Weekly SSL as target 2
Pre CME open I will re analyse where the market is and publish further forecast for the day.
QM Descending Channel QM has been trading in a descending channel since breaking down below its previous ascending channel. There's too much speculation about tensions in the middle east and elsewhere to take any big chances on this IMO, so it's best to wait for a break and retest, whether it is to the downside or the upside.
Crude Oil | BULLS MAY DOMINATE THE NEXT DAYSMay is not always a good month for crude oil. When you look at the last 40 years, there is a positive change rate of less than 50%.
However, Crude oil is moving to the support resistance point, and its performance in the last 8 election years, from the beginning of the may to the 21-22 of May during the election years, is 7 years positive and an average return of 12%.
That's why I'm very BULLISH on Crude oil, which is below last year's opening level and at a significant support-resistance flip point.

Unraveling the Descent of CL1! (Crude Oil Futures)Introduction:
CL1! (Crude Oil Futures) has experienced a pronounced downturn lately, prompting traders to investigate the underlying factors driving this descent. In this analysis, we'll explore various elements contributing to CL1!'s downward trajectory.
Technical Analysis:
Breakdown of Key Support Levels: CL1! has breached significant support levels on the price chart, signaling a shift in market sentiment towards bearishness. This breach indicates increased selling pressure and suggests potential further downside movement.
Moving Averages: The 50-day moving average has crossed below the 200-day moving average, forming a bearish crossover pattern known as the "death cross." This technical signal often indicates a sustained downtrend, with short-term momentum weakening relative to longer-term trends.
Relative Strength Index (RSI): The RSI indicator is signaling oversold conditions, hinting at a potential reversal or temporary bounce. However, traders should exercise caution as oversold conditions can persist in strong downtrends, and the RSI alone may not signal a reversal.
Fundamental Analysis:
Demand-Supply Dynamics: Concerns about oversupply and weakening demand can weigh on crude oil prices. Factors such as increased production levels from major oil-producing countries, geopolitical tensions easing, or shifts in global energy consumption patterns may contribute to oversupply concerns and downward pressure on prices.
Global Economic Outlook: A deteriorating global economic outlook can dampen demand for crude oil. Economic indicators such as slowing GDP growth, rising unemployment, or weakening consumer confidence can signal reduced demand for oil and its derivatives, impacting prices negatively.
OPEC+ Decision-Making: Decisions made by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and its allies (OPEC+) regarding production levels and output quotas can significantly influence crude oil prices. Any indications of increased production or disagreements within the alliance may lead to downward pressure on prices.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, multiple factors, both technical and fundamental, are contributing to the decline in CL1! (Crude Oil Futures). Traders should remain vigilant and adapt their strategies accordingly, considering short-term trading opportunities and long-term investment perspectives. Additionally, managing risk is crucial in navigating volatile market conditions and minimizing potential losses.
Crude Oil Weekly Analysis- 06th May to 10th May 2024MCX:CRUDEOIL1!
Weekly TF
Crude oil had great ride from beginning of this year and paused from previous month. Fortunately this was necessary for having further movement. We can consider the previous month process was retracement thus by expecting further movement in upcoming weeks.
Recent swing and bigger swings are at crucial level in Fibonacci retracement. Any small bounce from this level would be great bullish indications for good week ahead.
Should wait for Monday day candle should reject these crucial level. Then big bullish momentum expected for few weeks.
Day TF
Trend: Upward range with 3 consecutive support(HL 01, HL 02, HL 03)
Key Levels: Prices were again approaching towards support there by expecting HL 04. If HL 04 reacts and prices bounced then good sign for bulls.
Need to watch out 200 EMA to get react before trade entry
Fibonacci is also at 50% level in recent swing
Buy:
Entry 01:6682
Entry 02: 6962
Final Target expected: 7235
Recommended to wait on Monday. Some consolidation is required before reversal

Technicals On Crude Post FOMCWednesday we saw Crude make a nice substantial move downwards as the previous forecasts have shown.
A large range day isnt normally followed by another day with a extremely large range and you can think of it like a runner running 800meters and couples minutes later having to run another race shortly after... energy needs to be recouped.
I am staying bearish and would like to see the Daily FVG and PDL liquidity taken and Daily FVG to be filled/spiked to.
30min fvg CE aligns with Daily ifvg which I believe should hold price lower.
Watch these levels post NY open.
2024-05-01 - a daily price action after hour update - oil
Good Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: Big selling today and melted through 80. My thesis over the past weeks was a correction to around 77. We are at 79 and the odds are very high that we get there. Might see another bounce first though. Unsure and we have to wait for tomorrow.
current market cycle: most recent bull trend is over and we are correcting - probably trading range more than bear trend
key levels: trading range 77 - 85
bull case: 3 pushes down on many higher tf charts and bulls are reasonable if they buy 79 for a bounce. At least a retest of 80 is logical. 80.50 should be max if bears are strong and then I suspect market to move more sideways before we try another sell off to 77. Invalid below 78.6.
bear case: Bears outdid themselves today. I have drawn many dotted bear trend lines to visualize how many lower bear trend lines we broke below. If bears continue strongly below 78.6, this might be a bear trend rather a trading range and 77 might not hold for long either. But for now 77 is my main target. Sell-off today from 81 to 79.8 did not touch the 1m 20ema once.
short term: Sideways to up is preferred over another sell climax. 79 Should be good support before we try again for 77. If we start strong selling again, fine, but initiating new shorts here at 79 is very bad r:r. Invalid below 78.6 and we might crash down again.
medium-long term: Will update this once equities show more weakness. My thesis for many months now is, that we will see a big shift - Equities off - Commodities on. —unchanged.
trade of the day: Same play since Monday, short around the 1h 20ema. Works like a charm. Sell off today was very climactic though.
