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

Updated
This is a follow-up video to my previous analysis on the USOil where we closed the week with close to 2,000 pips profit (see link below for reference purposes). Despite the drop in oil prices in the last couple of months to worries of recession, there appears to be some sort of recovery last week as prices climbed to close the week with a 4% growth. Could this be a reflection of renewed activities from China (the world's largest importer of crude oil) after the government relaxed COVID restrictions? Well, In this video, we looked at the charts from a technical standpoint where the importance of the current structure was emphasized as we look forward to trading opportunities from around the confluence at the $74 area in the coming week.

So, price remains above the temporary bullish trendline identified in the video and price is within a tight $1 channel as the $74 level will be serving as the support level for the week in the meantime. If buy pressure continues above the $74, we will be aniticpating buying opportunities with additional position at the breakout/retest of the $75. However, if price breakdown/retest both or either the $74 and trendline, selling opportunities will be considered.

Good morning

The $76 zone is looking very crowded now and I have manually closed all my positions as there is a tendency for "shake out" to happen at this juncture before the price moves in its intended direction. So, I will be waiting out for buy opportunities at the breakout/retest of the $76.40 level or sell opportunities at the breakdown/retest of the $75.50 level. Stay tuned in for updates...

With a breakout of $76.40 in the last hour, stop order above this level

Sellers continue to reject buy attempts at the $76.40 zone to emphasize the strength of the sellers at this point. So, a breakdown/retest of the $76 level could incite bearish momentum. However, if a breakout retest of the $76.40 zone we shall be getting ready to put up a buy position.

A simple bearish set-up is identified in the 15 minutes time frame as price action breaks down the $78.30 level. However, if the price breaks out of the newly identified trendline to the upside, then we look out for buy pressure above this structure to join a potential trend continuation to the upside.
