WTI Crude Oil Analysis: Is the Downtrend Still in Play?

114
Welcome back, guys! 👋 I'm Skeptic, and today we’re diving into a quick analysis of WTI Crude Oil (WTI). Let’s break it down.

📉 4-Hour Time Frame Analysis
In the 4-hour time frame, WTI has shown a very strong corrective move, and despite trying to hold the support zone PRZ, it even failed to maintain it, suggesting a potential downtrend. Now, we have an opportunity to focus more on our short setups, but we’ll need to manage the risk as well.

🔮 Short Setup
For short positions, a break below the 4-hour support at 65.183 would be a good trigger to enter a short position. Place the stop loss just above the broken PRZ, around 67.024, and keep an eye on price action as a sharp movement down could follow. If the support breaks, we’re likely to see a continuation towards the next support level, so the move could be pretty sharp, but make sure your stop loss is tight to manage risk effectively.

💡 Long Setup
For the long setup, we’ll wait for a potential fake breakout below the support and then look for a return above 67.024. If we break above the resistance at 67.639, we’ll look for a possible long continuation. However, since the current trend is bearish, we’ll reduce our risk and wait for confirmation from the 4-hour or daily time frames before entering.
