WTI Crude Oil 4H Long – Targeting 0.5-0.7 Fibonacci LevelsWe’re seeing a breakout on the 4-hour chart for WTI Crude Oil, presenting a potential long trade setup. The price is targeting the 0.5 to 0.7 Fibonacci retracement levels. However, we may experience a retest of the breakout level before the trade fully reverses and moves towards the targets. Technical Analysis: • Breakout Confirmation: The recent price action has broken through resistance, indicating a potential shift to bullish momentum. • Fibonacci Levels: The 0.5 to 0.7 Fibonacci levels are key areas of interest, aligning with possible resistance where the price might stall or reverse. • Retest Potential: There’s a possibility that the price could retest the breakout zone before resuming its upward movement, which is a common pattern following breakouts. Trade Setup: • Entry: Consider entering a long position either at the current level or on a potential retest of the breakout zone. • Target: The primary targets are the 0.5 to 0.7 Fibonacci levels, which represent areas where we may see the price consolidate or reverse. • Stop-Loss: Place the stop-loss below the recent low to protect against a false breakout. Since this is a swing trade on a 4-hour chart, be prepared for the trade to develop over a few days, potentially extending into weeks. Risk Management: • Position Sizing: Adjust your position size to account for the potential duration of this swing trade, ensuring that you’re comfortable with the longer timeframe and any market fluctuations that may occur. • Trailing Stop: If the trade moves in your favor, consider using a trailing stop to lock in profits while allowing the trade to continue running towards the target levels. Note: Please remember to adjust this trade idea according to your individual trading conditions, including position size, broker-specific price variations, and any relevant external factors. Every trader’s situation is unique, so it’s crucial to tailor your approach to your own risk tolerance and market environment.

Oil Is On A SLIPPERY Slope!You get it, because oil is slippy and price is going down? Just ignore my terrible dad jokes. $63.50 is an area i can see price pushing down to, we have had the classic break and retest of a key area already ($72) In August of this year price used this level as strong support pushing up $10 and $7 dollars respectively before breaking through! Again it made a $7 move once it broke below the $72 level before coming back up to retest this broken support as resistance yesterday. We have already had a nice little push down today and over the next few weeks we will see this continue down to our $63.50 level. Why is this level significant? Because if you go onto the monthly chart you will see this level has been very well respected both as support and resistance historically. $72 would obviously have been the perfect time to enter but unless you have a time machine you wont see this post till today, so now is still a good entry point as long as you are not over risking to allow for a little correction.

Important update WTI. H4 26.09.2024WTI Important update Past WTI oil buys didn't manage to get fully developed and the overall correction ended near the nearest resistance at 72.00. On the downside, large volume was poured at 69.65 and eventually gave a push to the downside, thus forming a sellers zone. I believe the overall upward correction is over and will break the lower boundary with downside potential to 64.50 to the block option spread. Then we will watch the culmination below if given, but for now selling is the priority. BLACKBULL:WTI

WTI Price Outlook: Key FactorsThe price of WTI is hovering around $69.60 per barrel, remaining at relatively low levels compared to recent peaks. However, several signals suggest a potential reversal towards an upward trajectory. The reduction in U.S. crude oil inventories, reported by the EIA, was significantly larger than expected, with a drop of 4.471 million barrels compared to the forecasted 1.2 million. This signal of shrinking supply could exert upward pressure on crude oil prices. On the other hand, the effectiveness of recent economic stimulus measures adopted by China, the world's largest oil importer, remains uncertain. If these measures fail to stimulate demand, crude prices could face downward pressure. Additionally, rising tensions in the Middle East, particularly after an Israeli airstrike that killed a Hezbollah commander, increase the risk of a potential supply disruption from the region. From a technical standpoint, WTI is currently in a consolidation phase. If prices manage to break through the key resistance level around $70-72 per barrel, a bullish breakout could occur, supported by increased trading volumes.

USOIL - Short Trade Idea (26th Sept 2024)This is my analysis on USOIL. So, what my eye catches is the ascending sellside trendline liquidity being build up. We have a recent touch on it, retracing into a weekly SIBI. Based on this, I am anticipating us trade quickly down into a monthly BISI as my initial target. The stoploss I set is based on the current swing high. A wider stoploss could be adopted to weather any sort of wick damage happening during high impact news. Let's see how this plays out. - R2F

WTI Oil .. Is $86 in the Future ??Possibly as we have two potential bullish patterns in play 1. A Bullish Butterfly pattern with targets of $78 and $86. 2. A Bullish Wolfe Wave with an $80 and $86 target So how do we play this ?? I think we will have a chance for WTI to fall to a lower price, as the US election and economic uncertainty may push WTI's price lower. On the other side middle east tensions could escalate. That said the $69-70 area would be decent purchase... better still at $66-67, as this has previously been a demand zone. Momentum also looks positive and exhibits some divergence. So If it happens then it happens. I will watch and report back. Not investment advice. Do your own due diligence S.

Oil looking to retest lowsThe vast majority are talking inflation 24/7, but we very likely could be going into deflation for the next year or 2. China is already suffering from deflation and they are at over capacity and need to dump goods. A slowing China is deflationary for the world. In the US, job losses accelerating, and the number of layoffs companies are announcing is huge. These numbers will eventually show up in the economic data. Add demographics and record consumer debt and I doubt we will see anymore inflation (which was mostly do to energy prices and shortages FYI) for awhile. It will not be until rates drop in the next year and a huge economic recovery package is out in the economy will we see the inflation begin again.

WTI Long High riskOil Trade Setup FPMARKETS:WTI I've decided to go long just before the news release, as I noticed the liquidity sweep had already occurred. However, I'm cautious about this trade, as the bullish probabilities are mixed, and there are stronger bearish arguments. Trade Management: Stop Loss: Placed just below the liquidity sweep, as breaking this level would suggest further downside. Take Profit: Partial exits planned. First target at $72.38, with the remaining at the next level of buy-side liquidity. Risk/Reward: 4.85 Risk: 1%

Oil, Up or Down?On the daily chart, it can be observed that crude oil has rejected the crucial 71.67 resistance as sellers entered the market to position for a drop back towards the 65 level. For the buyers, they will require the price to break above this resistance in order to start targeting the major trendline around the 76 level. Interesting enough, there are two banks given contradictory forecast, MKTNews reports, RABOBANK: OIL PRICES EXPECTED TO AVERAGE $70 NEXT YEAR DUE TO EMERGING SUPPLY SURPLUS UBS: OIL PRICES EXPECTED TO REBOUND ABOVE $80 PER BARREL AS INVENTORIES DECLINE

Strategies for Managing Stress in High-Stakes EnvironmentsPerformance anxiety in trading is real, and many traders, especially those in high-stakes environments, have felt the intense pressure to perform. Managing this anxiety requires a blend of psychological, emotional, and practical strategies to stay calm and composed when trading decisions can result in significant financial consequences. 1️⃣ Understanding the Psychological Origins of Performance Anxiety: Performance anxiety stems from fear—fear of losing, fear of failure, and fear of making the wrong decision. As traders, this fear often arises from uncertainty in the markets. It’s important to recognize the source of this fear and anxiety. I’ve noticed that traders, myself included, often tie our self-worth to the outcomes of trades. The result? Heightened stress levels and irrational decision-making. The key is to differentiate between self-worth and trade outcomes. A bad trade doesn’t mean you're a bad trader. Developing a mindset that accepts bad trades as part of the trading process helps to ease the emotional burden. Understanding this psychological dynamic is the first step toward managing performance anxiety. 2️⃣ Set Realistic Expectations for Trades: One mistake I see traders make, is setting overly ambitious goals. Unrealistic expectations can set you up for disappointment and anxiety. If you expect every trade to be a winner, the pressure to achieve perfection can become overwhelming. To counter this, setting realistic, achievable goals that are based on historical data and personal trading performance is crucial. For example, instead of aiming for a 100% win rate, aim for a profitable ratio of winning to damage control or losing trades. It’s about balance—understanding that even the best traders have losing trades. 3️⃣ Create and Follow a Solid Trading Plan: When anxiety kicks in, it often leads to impulsive decisions. But a structured trading plan can serve as your anchor. In high-pressure moments, a well-thought-out plan reminds you to stick to your strategy rather than making emotionally driven choices. In my trading career, I’ve found that having clearly defined entry and exit points, risk management protocols, and a decision-making framework helps significantly in keeping emotions in check. Whether trading forex, commodities, or indices, this structured approach eliminates the need for snap decisions and helps reduce anxiety. 4️⃣ Incorporate Stress Management Techniques into Your Routine: Managing stress in trading is not just about the markets—it’s about your lifestyle. Incorporating stress-relieving techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, and even exercise can make a big difference. I have personally found mindfulness practices helpful in staying focused and composed, especially during volatile markets. Mindfulness techniques encourage being present in the moment, which helps reduce performance anxiety. Simple deep-breathing exercises before placing a trade can help calm the nerves, while regular meditation sessions can improve emotional regulation in high-stakes situations. 5️⃣ Leverage Technology for Automation and Alerts: We live in a time when technology can help alleviate performance pressure. Automated trading systems or even simple alert functions can take some of the burden off the trader. By automating parts of the process, such as bids, offers, targets and DC/stop-losses, you remove the need for real-time decision-making in every aspect. I do this, so I don’t have to stay glued to my screen, which reduces stress. It’s about trusting the system and using tools to aid in decision-making. 6️⃣ Seek Peer Support and Mentorship: Trading can feel like a solitary endeavor, which can increase performance anxiety. But it doesn’t have to be. Building a support system of fellow traders or finding a mentor can offer a great outlet for discussing trading struggles, strategies, and emotional challenges. In my experience, having a network of traders to share insights and frustrations with has been invaluable. It’s a reminder that everyone faces challenges, and sometimes hearing how others overcome performance anxiety can provide you with the tools to cope. Additionally, mentors can help you fine-tune your trading strategies, reducing the anxiety associated with self-doubt. I run The Trading Mentor with my co-mentor Will Sebastian and we have created a community of like-minded traders who serve this exact purpose. 7️⃣ Accept Losses and Develop a Resilient Mindset: Finally, a significant cause of anxiety in trading is the fear of losing. But losses are inevitable in trading. Developing resilience—the ability to bounce back after losses—is crucial for managing performance anxiety. Rather than viewing a loss as a failure, I view it as a lesson and part of the broader learning curve. This requires a mental shift. I’ve learned to analyze my damage control trades as losing trades (even though the end result is almost always net gains), adjust strategies where necessary, and move forward without emotional baggage. The faster you accept that losses and long DC cycles are part of trading, the less anxious you’ll feel when they inevitably occur. Managing performance anxiety in trading is a continuous process that involves understanding the psychological roots, setting realistic goals, following a structured plan, incorporating mindfulness, leveraging technology, and building a resilient mindset.

WTI Potentially Re-entering SZAs prices respond to the current Supply Zone, the rejection appears less significant compared to previous instances, with smaller candles and no extended range candles (ERCs) forming. I anticipate that prices may retrace back into the Supply Zone and potentially even attempt a breakout towards the next zone, around the 74.500 level. My strategy is to capture a quick upward move without waiting for a full breakout of the current zone. I'll place a Buy Stop order, aiming for a 50-pip gain. If prices break through the zone afterward, I’ll look for another entry opportunity. If prices were to keep falling from this point on, then the trade will be invalidated and cancelled. If triggered and gone lower, SL at 40pips.
