$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...

IF you like my work please like and follow thanks
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.

Crude Oil (WTI) Bearish Outlook For Next Week 🛢️
Hey traders,
WTI Crude Oil broke and closed below a support line of a bearish flag pattern this week.
The price is retesting its lower boundary now.
I believe that the market will most likely drop next week.
Goal for sellers - 85.75 structure.
❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section.

Oil move pending China's directionBrent Crude Oil price is expected to consolidate between 93 to 100, with the main catalyst being China's Covid Policy.
There were on-and-off hopes of China's reopening.
However, we are still very much on the fence given the continued strict Covid measures in China.
On the other hand, China did announce an easing of the measures, reducing the quarantine time. Another positive news is that the NHC is planning to accelerate vaccinations, which is crucial before further easing on their zero COVID policy.
We don't know how long that will take, or when it will be in effect.
Buys on support above 93 and sells on resistance at 100, until we have a clear path on China's reopening. Overall, looking more for buys given the pretty much firm demand in oil. Keep an eye out for OPEC oil report on Monday, 14 Nov 2022.
Brent: Watch it burnWe're currently observing a downwards trend that should turn once the blue wave is completed. Thereupon, Brent should move above the $105.42 resistance into the turquoise target zone between $104.29 - $116.05. After hitting the target zone, Brent should turn and drop below the support at $83.61 directly into the green target zone between $77.10 - $42.16. After crossing the green zone, the green wave should be completed and turn out of the green zone to move above the $83.61 support. Since the anticipated downslope is surely not going to evolve as a straight line, we'll sketch the in-between-movements as the course comes down from the top.
US OIL TRADING IDEAAs its clear from chart,
us oil has broken the blue down trend / bull flag and got a nice push up side,
As dollar index is in corrective mode and we can see some more pullback in dollar index,
We are looking oil as a long opportunity, any pullback around 90.70 -90.80, will be a long opportunity targeting 97.50 -97.80.
The idea will be considered as invalidated if it get backs inside to broken bull flag.
Brent could trade higher only if...Energy prices climbed on Friday as Brent reached the 92.60 price level and WTI climbed a high of 98.75. This move higher was due to the weakness of the DXY and the anticipation that China was ready to reopen borders, spurring demand for oil.
However, as China reiterates its intention to maintain its current Covid policy, both Brent and WTI are retracing lower from last week’s climb higher. Look for the completion of the retracement before a continuation of the uptrend.
The prices could test the key resistance level of 97.00 for WTI and 102.00 for Brent, if prices clear above the immediate resistance of 94.00 and 100 respectively.
