oil, CL, day trading for July 24thoil will pick my bias direction when it moves above 57.50 and or moves below 56.75, over night has had oil in a very small tight range and as long as it stays in this range I will just observe.. Above the red area I will look for long set ups after a impulsive move or a break retest, and will do the same if a break below. We could either be in a big balancing area or the beginning of a longer up move , only time will give us the answer.
Cl!
Oil, CL, day trading for July 22netoday the overnight move is long and is trying to find itself, meaning no clear direction has been established yet. I will be look to see what side of the chop zone oil breaks out of and the target I will play for are marked with the blue lines. If had to pick a side right now would lean a bit long. There are a few smaller items of interest on the chart and will see how the market acts around them and if they come into play will mention in follow up notes.
oil, cl, day trading for July 18thAfter a very big day down yesterday a smaller range day would not be a surprise, i have plotted out the S and R lines and shown 3 possible paths. primary idea in Red shows a consolidation range bound trade with the upper and lower boundaries marked, if we move below the lower boundary is idea 2) in Green and shows us moving down to possible area of 56.11. and then third idea is in blue and is a bullish idea and most likely will not happen until some early choppy action. So today could be real easy or pretty hard to get a good indication of the markets intent
oil, cl, day trading for July 17thAfter a big move yesterday I think we either consolidate in a tighter range near the prior days low or we do a 50% to 78% retrace back up to the prior days over night session. The chop range is small between 58.07 and 58.37 with a bigger trade range of 57.65 and 58.60. staying below 58.60 would give me the thought we stay in the lower part of this range and above that point takes me to the 59.45,.55 range. will remain on the look out for a further down move if we can get oil below 57.46
oil, cl, day trading for July 16thIt looks like oil is lifting off a mid term low and will test back into higher distributions, and is currently trading above my chop zone of 59.90 ara, the lower boundary of chop is 59.20. the area above i think we see R is 60.25. and looks like we will get there, so will be looking for long entry points if we remain above the chop zone.
oil, cl, day trading July 15ththe pre RTH market action in oil has been developing two distributions inside a multi day consolidation, so until this multi day breaks will look for range type trading with a few different upper and lower supports and resistances. The main area to see what direction the future may have is 60.62 and 59.90 remaining inside this range keeps me thinking sideways style range trading
CL, oil day trading for July 12thToday we are currently trading in the bottom end of a upper distribution and the bottom of that distribution is very important to my trading direction, as long as we are above 60 to 60.14 area I lean very hard on the long side and will not look at short trades until below that line in the sand. the upper resistance is at 60.78 to 60.85 and until above that will only expect range style action. In the event we break this zone the upper and lower targets will come into view.
CL, Oil day trading July 10thOver night had a very strong up move and is in the middle of a prior consolidation so we could get a choppy session as the market tries to find buyers and sellers. getting above 59.75 could prove to be hard today and if it does then will target 59.94 to 60.07 area. and we could also find support in the 59 price point. with a below target of 58.63. will keep a range trade concept unless market shows me different.
CL, Oil day trading for July 9thToday looks to be one more consolidation trading day with a small trading range of 58.20 and 57.40, a move above this range will target 59 with Resistance at 58.50 and a move below the range give us a lower target of 568.86, will look for a reaction that I can get a hold of for a trade either inside the range or a break out.
CL, OIL< Day trades July 2ndover night action is reasonably balanced and is sitting on lower break down area as of this typing. will look to see if we range trade or break down at 58.20 area. if back into the that looking for the top of range at 59.40. So will lean long over the range top and short under the range low. Upper target is 60.20 and lower target is 57 The 58.20 and 57.80 will be possible bounce points and also rejection points, so a plan will be if we break down does the support become resistance and if so that is a good stepping off point.
CL, Oil day trades for June 26thAfter the API report oil popped up one more time, and then balanced overnight so will look for the continuation to the up side. however will NOT be in the market at 10:30 during today's inventory report. the range I will be look to see if it breaks either way is 59.20 and 58.65 much smaller range than normal.
