USOil | New perspective for the week | Follow-up detail

Updated
We have been on a profit spree since taking advantage of the breakout of the most anticipated key level at the $86.00 zone.
On Friday, we witnessed a 5% rally in the price of oil, and this is not unconnected to China's decision to ease the COVID-Zero policy and the market overreacted accordingly. Remember, China is the largest importer of Oil hence the ability to drive volatility. From a technical standpoint, as the price edges towards the $93.50 level, I am of the opinion that we wait and see how the price reacts to this level before either making a decision of adding to the existing buy position or hedh=ging out of the position.

Since the beginning of the week, the price has been caught within the channel $90.80/90.30 area hence the need to wait for a signal in the form of either a breakout or breakdown of the channel for a signal.

The final breakout/retest of the $92.00 level is a good sign for the buy position; securing the buy position.

After being taken out with a small profit, the price is back to the entry zone which also lines up with the bullish trendline identified on the 1H timeframe. So, I am of the opinion that the price might respect the trendline to continue a bullish momentum above the $90.80 area but if a breakdown/retest of the trendline with selling pressure under the $90.30 area, a retracement might be the next phase.

Selling pressure persisted below $90.80 in the last 6 hours - a bearish engulfing candle under this level could be a signal for a retracement. It is worth noting that this current structure is around a trendline... Are we going to see a breakdown or a trend continuation to the upside?

Break-even level hit as buying pressure re-surfaces. So, I won't be selling again unless a breakdown/retest of the $90.30 level happens. At this juncture, a breakout/retest of the $90.80 level is good for buying opportunities. Update coming soon

Over 200pips in profit; securing the position

Trade closed: target reached
Taken 260 pips out of this trade as price action comes back to retest the bullish trendline which shares a confluence with the buy zone identified. So, there are two perspectives to look out for at this juncture;
i. breakdown of the trendline into the $86.00 area before the bullish continuation happens or
ii. A reversal pattern right above the bullish trend line to send the price soaring.

Lets be on standby as price action is been monitored... Update coming soon

The price is back at the important key level at the $86.00 area which was broken during the course of last week's trading session. The appearance of buying pressure on the lower time frame around this key level will be some structure to lookout for buying opportunities.

Selling pressure continues as sellers break down the $86 level and it appears that the price is consolidating within a new demand zone identified around the $85.00 area. We shall continue to monitor price action and see how price relates to this zone. Congrats to those who held on to the sell position. Lets see if we are going to be seeing buying pressure or a breakdown of this structure... Update e coming soon.

15min timeframe

Since the testing the $85 level price action has been caught within a consolidation phase hereby transposing into a bearish rectangle pattern - trend continuation pattern. Hence the breakdown/retest of the support level looks promising to join the decline.

snapshot
Trade active
As buying pressure increases despite the breakdown of the $84.60 level earlier. Let's wait for a breakout of the $85 area to join a potential rally. We are in a zone that has memory for buying power. Update coming soon...

We talked about this during the live session today (video will be uploaded on youtub in a moment); while we ensure that the current position is secured, I am looking forward to a bullish trend continuation at breakout/retest of structure.

snapshot
Trade active
Selling pressure was identified at the retest of the bullish trendline that was broken a couple of days ago. We might be witnessing profit-taking activities which might reflect on the chart as a retracement move. Ensure the buy position is secured to avoid price movement eating into the profit accrued.
