Financial Wave. CLCL
In past reviews, we showed our priority scenario, the price drop almost led to the $68 level that we indicated as a target. Most likely this goal will be fulfilled by the market. Our scenario allows a pullback, but not above $75.50 - this level cancels the fall scenario. Let's see how the price near $68 will behave.

Crude Oil (WTI): Bearish Outlook 🛢️
WTI Crude Oil keeps falling.
The price violated a wide horizontal demand zone on a daily and closed below that.
The broken structure turned into a resistance now.
I believe that the market will go lower from that.
The next goal will be 66.0
Good luck!

Brent: Christmas Miracle ✅🎄We're finally seeing green! After waiting the whole year for Brent to reach the green target zone between $77.10 and $42.16, our British friend finally came through! We're expecting the course to sink a bit further to finish off green wave before heading back North above the $80.79-mark.
China's turmoil, SPRs, and further deterioration in outlookIn our previous update on West Texas Intermediate crude oil, we updated our price target from long-term to medium-term. Additionally, we stated that this price target could soon become short-term, depending on oil market developments. Today, finally, USOIL hit a new yearly low at 73.62$, further confirming our bearish thesis. Accordingly, we continue to maintain our price target at 70$.
Our views are based on a combination of fundamental and technical factors. We expect the global recession to weigh heavily on oil prices in the coming months. In addition to that, we expect the United States to offset any price increases with more releases of Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR).
As if it was not enough, turmoil in China also does not support the bullish narrative, putting higher prices at risk. The same applies to OPEC member countries that seek to increase their production despite a slowing economy. Overall, we have no reason to change our bearish outlook.

The illustration shows the daily chart of USOIL, simple support/resistance levels, and two moving averages. At the moment, the price appears too far from these moving averages, likely foreshadowing a correction to the upside (as the price deviated too far from its MAs). Now, these MAs act as significant resistance levels.

Brent crude bearish sentiment Commentary:
Despite the optimism around the reopening of China from COVID restrictions, oil prices remain vulnerable to fears of a global economic slowdown. The EU’s price cap at $60 per barrel while OPEC+ is expected to maintain existing production targets adds towards the bearish outlook on price.
Brent crude : Last weeks gains can be viewed as a “corrective” bounce off the $81 support; since price has pierced below the September 26th lows at $82.30 may serve to keep alive the bearish price sentiment; downside potential spotted near the $79.7s while upside seems limited to $89.2 in the short term (5-25 days).

CRUDE OIL (WTI) Your Detailed Trading Plan 🛢
WTI Crude Oil is approaching a key daily supply area.
The market was nicely rejected from that last week.
Analyzing the intraday perspective, I spotted a head & shoulders pattern on 4H time frame.
79.55 - 80.2 is its neckline.
To short the market with a confirmation, wait for its bearish breakout.
We need a 4H candle close below that to make a breakout valid.
A bearish continuation will be expected then.
Goals: 77.7 / 76.5
If the price respects a neckline and sets a new high then, the setup will be invalid.

$70 crude coming? A major (bearish) development in oilThe technicals in crude continue to break down as the buyers stand aside – the 26 Sept swing low looks close to being taken out at $76.61 and a break here sees $65 come into play – it does feel like these lows will be tested, so a short bias is preferred. The fact we see crude down 4% when copper is up 1% speaks to the EU price caps as the driver, over just a China Covid and an economic/demand story.
I think it's important to look at the crude futures curve – On TradingView I have shown the difference between the continuous front month contract and August 2023 contracts (code CL1! -NYMEX: CLQ2023) – this is now eyeing inversion, having been as high as $11. 90 in October. This is a big development in the crude complex as it removes a key reason for funds/producers to hold longs for the roll down into the next contract on expiry.
What else has caused the moves on the day?
• Poor liquidity – everyone watching Ger vs JAP - obviously many market ballers are off now for US Thanksgiving
• EU price caps on Russian exports came in a $65 to $70, perhaps higher than consensus – not that Russia will comply and work with countries that apply such caps – but I guess the view is given the caps are higher, and Russia is selling crude at discounts of c.$20 p/b, that these caps won't affect Russia supply
• The DoE Weekly Inventory data showed a 3.7m drawer in crude inventories, however, the market caught onto a 3.06m build in gasoline inventories (most since July), while distillates rose by 1.72m. I always find with the inventory report the market will see what it wants to see, but on today’s report it’s the gasoline numbers that have won out
• China Covid restrictions – obviously still highly fluid but it is influential on the demand side of crude’s driver – traders seeing new mobility controls in the city of Zhengzhou and PCR testing – we watch Beijing and Shanghai as always given the record case count sweeping the country.
We gear up to the next OPEC meeting on 4 Dec, which could even more focus if price breaks $70 – we have our eyes on US payrolls then but the OPEC meeting could drive some solid cross-asset vol.
Gold GC1 - A New ATH is Simply a Fantasy. But, a Big Trade Brewsis this thing that has traded like a boat anchor, as much of a boat anchor as Bitcoin . More or less not moving at all. Yet, as with all things, consolidation periods only last for so long before the volatility picks up again to draw in new attention.
This chart is a huge amount of time and very wide ranges and so it's very hard to stuff the important info into the part associated with this call. You'll have to read my wall of text for it to all make sense.
Many have wondered, myself included, how Gold could have failed to make a new high during its post-Russian Federation invasion of Ukraine pump to $2078. I myself traded this during that time and had months worth of longs established at $1,600, $1,700, $1,800 and missed the chance to get out at a profit, waiting for it to set a new high.
I was very confused.
Over the months, I have upgraded myself significantly and I now understand why. It's simple:
Market makers were simply attacking the area above the '11 $1,923 ATH. The fact that no new high was made indicates that MMs are heavy on the sell. Unfortunately for goldbugs, this means that a new all time high is literally a fantasy. It will happen, but not until significant downside conditions are met.
The total range equilibrium between the $1,069 low in '16 and the post-COVID ATH is roughly $1,550. Until gold trades below this area and there are indications longs are accumulating, there will not be a move towards an ATH again.
This can be seen with a study of the monthly:
And the Weekly:
This is reality. Just get in line with reality and you'll be able to:
a) Save losses
b) Book gains
Gold has traded, since September, underneath a key low, and has not followed its counterpart Silver in taking significant north-side runs. Today during FOMC madness, the one time that gold really ought to have gone up to draw in buyers based on the notion of inflation hedging, it instead ran into resistance at that $1,670 level.
This mostly assures that gold is headed to new lows.
In my opinion, there are two scenarios, the first is much more likely than the second, and bodes well for bulls:
1) Gold trades to the low $1,500s for a discount versus the COVID-hysteria lows for the first time in almost two years.
Should it show signs of life here, Gold should reverse and head back into the $1,850-$1,900 area. But be warned this type of trading pattern will not amount to a run towards a new all time high, although it will feel like it, and all the "gurus" will assure you it will be.
This type of trading pattern will constitute more selling, because a longer term move downwards is happening.
2) Gold loses all life and heads towards the $1,350 area. This will be long term bullish because, after what is likely to be at least a year of accumulation, it means that a new all time high is inbound.
I believe gold will drop as equities rally more. I think that when equities start to dump, this time gold will go up, because it will drag in goldbugs and ancap types who think the dollar is on the way out and the gold standard is coming back.
After you buy their bags at $1,900, gold will be crushed and you'll buy high and sell back low.
Note that in terms of Commitments of Traders , although commercials are their most long they've been in three years, they're still not net long. You won't see them be net long until the $1,300s.
But before then, we should see Gold mimic the patterns of silver , because more selling is in store.
A final word: The biggest market risk right now is not the Federal Reserve , or a recession. Neither is it Credit Suisse collapsing. A lot of things are going to go up, and may even go up a lot (Don't believe it? Take a look at what the Dow Jones just did. Some components made a new all time high in the middle of your "Hawkish Federal Reserve" and your "recession.").
The greatest market risk is that the Chinese Communist Party will either collapse internally or be thrown away by "Emperor" Xi Jinping as he, and the nation of China, struggle to survive what is happening.
When that day happens, 20% days down on the indexes are going to come and there won't be any bounces.
Wall Street won't be in such a mood to market make anymore, because all their collusion with the Chinese Communist Party and their implicit passive and active support of the organ harvesting persecution of Falun Gong will have many of their members scuttle into hiding.
Just wait and see. Nobody thought the USSR would ever fall, and yet, it did. Overnight.
Tl; dr Gold --> $1,500 with little upside in between. This is a bear trap.
Then big bounce to $1,850. But the big bounce is a bull trap.
Sasol is continuing to tank further to R225.43Bear Rectangle is forming on Sasol as it previous did a few months ago. There are bearish signals as the downtrend is continuing.
The 200 > 21 >7 MA which once the price breaks below R277.95 we will have our next target at R225.43.
This confirms with the ongoing drop in oil price...

Crude prices under downside pressureCrude prices under downside pressure on the back of weaker demand outlook
The recent break below the $92 short term support level has opened up the prospects for a further decline towards a test of the September 30th lows near $84, the bearish outlook can be technically supported by the fact that current price is below its 20 and 50 day simple moving averages, as well as the fact that the 14 day relative strength index has crossed below its respective signal line (bearish). Short positions can therefore be technically supported provided price is unable to push back above the recent support now turned resistance at $92. Short sellers may be looking for $84 and $81 as potential downside targets, while longs may be aiming for a retest of the $92 area with $93.54 in extension.
OIL, What's next?As the CPI numbers and the inflation numbers starts to slow and decrease, and banks are saying that 2023 inflation will drop even more.
The oil is facing more down moves.
The Saudi Arabia, needs a $75 per barrel to cover the government budget.
but what if the decrease production to keep prices high, will be enough to cover the budget ?!
In this chart, we are seeing too possible buys, with two possible scenarios.
the first buy at $75.00 per barrel and the second one at $50.00
Always manage your risk in trading be for you enter the market.
