Tracking Key Reversal Points: Anticipating Shifts in Oil MarketOverview:
Timeframes: The chart shows two timeframes: 1-day (left) and 1-hour (right).
Price Levels: The analysis spans key levels around $78.42, $72.84, and below, identifying important support and resistance zones.
Main Concepts:
Wave Structure Analysis (Elliott Wave):
The chart illustrates wave counts to identify impulsive and corrective wave formations.
The 1-day chart displays a completed or ongoing complex wave structure involving labeled sub-waves (e.g., (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v)).
The 1-hour chart follows with detailed sub-waves in a downtrend, marking a potential end of a minor wave 5.
Break of Structure (BOS):
The analysis highlights break-of-structure (BOS) points, signaling trend shifts or confirmation of current momentum.
Order Blocks (OB) and Supply Zones:
The charts label areas of interest like the Bearish OB, which indicates potential resistance levels for short trades.
Liquidity Pools and Equilibrium Levels (EQL): Show possible areas where price may seek liquidity, triggering stops or reversals.
Swing Failure Patterns (SFP):
On the 1-hour chart, an SFP shows a failed attempt to break a previous high, indicating potential reversals at those points.
Step-by-Step Breakdown:
Left Chart (1-Day):
Wave Completion: Possible end of wave (iv) around $78.42.
Correction Analysis: The chart suggests a retracement towards $72.84, marked by liquidity inducements and previous buy-side stops (BSL).
Potential Moves: If a correction deepens, the internal wave count may extend, affecting the broader trend structure.
Right Chart (1-Hour):
Bearish Momentum: Highlights swing failure patterns, with downward trends forming lower highs and lows.
Wave Labeling: The (A)-(C) correction forms a bearish pattern, suggesting possible price reversal around the Bearish OB at $69.35.
Projection: If bearish momentum continues, expect a move towards the dealing range lows around $68.41.
Examples and Analogy:
Think of the swing failure patterns as warning signs—like a car struggling to pass a steep hill. If it fails, it rolls back, suggesting sellers are regaining control, which could lead to further declines.
Key Takeaways:
Primary Resistance: $69.35 (potential short entries).
Support Focus: $67.66 - $66.75 area, as noted on both timeframes.
Continued Monitoring: If price breaks the strong high invalidation point, the short-term bearish outlook could be invalidated.
