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

Updated
This is a follow-up video to my previous analysis on US Oil commodities where we scooped close to 2,000 pips profit to start the year on a profitable note (see link below for reference purposes).
Tagged the worst trading starts for a year since 1991 - The US Oil posts its biggest weekly loss in a month after reversing gains prior to the U.S. nonfarm payrolls event where it drops by 10% to close below the $75 level. Since testing the $73 level on Wednesday, price action has been caught within a tight two-dollar channel between the $75 and $73 range for the latter part of last week's trading session to signal a level of indecisiveness in the market. This video illustrates a technical perspective on what to expect in the new week as we look forward to either a breakout or breakdown of the channel for signals.

A bullish gap was noticed at the market opening. The anticipated signal appears to have happened; a buy position was triggered as price action breaks out of the channel with a new support level for the week sitting at $74.50.

Good morning.

Price action takes out the buy position with about 130 pips profit at the breakdown/retest of $76.20. Well done to you if you had taken advantage of the counter-trend opportunity at the breakdown of the $76.20 level, secure the sell position while we wait and see how far this retracement phase will go before another wave of bullish momentum will begin. Update coming up soon

With over 100pips running in profit, secure the sell position as we look forward to how price action reacts to the $75 level. Buying pressure on the lower time frame will probably incite another wave of bullish momentum but if the price breakdown/retest then we will be getting ready to add another position to our existing position.

Price action retest the $75 - a level that was broken this morning by bullish momentum and soon as price tests this structure, we have been witnessing buy pressure from this level in the last two hours to signify the possibility of buying traction. So, look out for a reversal pattern on the lower time frame for buying opportunities. However, a breakdown/retest level of this structure will welcome additional sell positions.
