cl. oil, day trading for Aug 14thYesterday, wow, what more can I say, it did what I thought it could do but sure did not give much time to react, so will just move on. The high in oil I would say is above yesterday so will be looking a bit bigger picture to be bullish oil. but will also watch the red line boundaries set out. The boundaries are not as clear today as normal but will still work to help pick a bias to what side I like to be leaning on.
We have returned to the spot we where at prior to the pop up so a choppy day to re work this price level would not surprise me, however a bigger move would not ether. I know talking non committal but the action will help form that commitment so lets observe and see what trade I can get off.
Cl!
oil, cl, day trading for Aug 13thafter yesterdays small up move and a overnight session that has been happy at these new levels I will be looking for a back and forth action between the red lines. Now any move that is maintained outside this range I will bias the break out direction. In the even of the break out will post more target number even though many are drawn in. So looking for shorts from the range top and long from range bottom until this is proven wrong.
oil, cl,wti day trading for Aug 12thoil looks like it wants to rework the Friday's range and when in this range we will see if oil will move back higher and re test the upper levels marked. Will have to see but we may not get a very big movement today, so will be keeping a close eye on the action and this will help me pick a side for today.
oil, cl, day trading for Aug 9thlate into the overnight oil had a nice rise and is finding some volume at these levels so will look for further long if we remain above 52.91, we do have some resistance to watch out for on this long trade at 53.36 and 53.75 and above these levels the longs should have control heading into next week. A move down below 52.91 should see a test of the current lower levels, not sure all the way to the 50.54 but if it did then would start looking back to 45 area.
So starting idea for me will be to look long as long as we remain above the level mentioned.
oil, cl, day trading for Aug 8thOil moved up over night then found a balance point, This could be a bearish retrace or a early part of a up move. I will be watching 52.85 and 51.90 to form my directional bias for the day. IF we remain inside this zone will look to trade long and short off these same levels. Upper and lower targets are marked in the event of a breaking move.
Breaking move will be a long on break retrace and the same for short.
cl, oil, day trading for Aug 7thToday in the early session oil has had a sharp move down and we also have the oil report today at 10:30 EST. Will be flat leading into the report unless I can get a well protected trade. As long as the market is below the lower red line I will be leaning on short trades. In between the two red lines watch for a choppy action and I will be looking for long trades above the top red line.
Any action I see during the day I will post it as I see it.
Bull Flag Formation on the Daily Chart?It appears WTI crude oil may be finishing the formation of a bull flag on the daily chart, and that today's low, after a 7%+ decline in the spot price (due to Trump's announcement of 10% tariffs on Chinese products), may have been the bottom of the formation.
Developing...
Thoughts? Would love to hear what you think and where you see oil prices headed.
oil, cl, day tradeing for Aug 2ndThe over night session was all on the buying side and would think an opening adjustment down to 54.88 area and then continuation to the upside. So that is my first trade idea long from that area. if that does not hold and we get below 54.30 very possible the low from yesterday is revisited. On the other hand a move over 55.76 could bring a reasonable sized up move to the 56.50 area or the marked target zones.
cl, oil day trading for Aug 1sttoday's direction will be decided based on the 57.40 to 58.07 range, the upper and lower targets are marked. WE have a lower distribution back 2 days and a higher distribution back one day what side is the market interested in re testing that is the question i will be looking for the answer on and will trade based on that answer.
oil, cl, day trades for July 31stlast 24 hours oil has been moving strongly upwards and we could see a resting period so will be watching for a sideways rest. If not a rest the will watch the Red boundaries for a days direction for a trade with the targets marked. Will fill in details as they present.
cl, oil, day trading for July 30thAfter the regular market closed oil took on a strong rally and moved into the top part of a big range, I would expect ( has started as of this typing) a pull back to 57.10 or 56.77 area and this will be a spot I will be looking for a long trade idea to take us back and test 57.56 and then a big upper limit of 58.30. failing to hold the 56.58 area will take us back into the bottom of the big range and will most likely give a choppy short trade back to mid 55's
oil, cl, day trading for July 29thOil is trading sideways inside a pretty big range of almost 1 point and until it breaks this area i will remain neutral as far as direction. I will be looking to to find the days range and short the tops and long the bottoms. This range can either be the 55.84 to 56.64 boundaries or after the open will find the boundaries for the day, will update once this range is found.
oil, cl, day trading for July 26thOil is trading each day into a tighter and tighter balance area and will break out soon. Will not trade the break out idea until it happens so will look today at trading more of the same. the smaller range marked in Red is the small picture balance zone and a move above is still inside bigger balance but could give a nice long trade to targets marked. This goes for moves below the red bottom line. If oil remains inside this zone will trade long from all supports and short from all Resistance until out of this balancing act.
