Crude Oil Setup for Short SellCrude has another Minor Pivot Stack setup, but this time it is above the current price. Hence, this is an indication of a short trade with resistance from the Stack.
With a good probability setup like this, go short on confirmed weakness through 51.26. Place a stop loss at 53.69 and the profit target at 48.15.
Trade the March 2019 contract, symbol CLH2019, on the ICE Futures exchange with any NFA registered U.S. futures broker, both regulated by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
Crude Oil Rally Could ContinueThere is a Minor Pivot Stack in place that is looking quite supportive of Crude Oil.
The market has rallied nicely to these levels and still looks strong despite the recent bearish trend.
With a potential profit target at 59.06 this makes for a good risk reward trade.
Go long if the price rallies through 53.35 and place a stop loss at 50.48.

OIL USO CL - Head & Shoulders PatternA head and shoulders pattern has formed on the hourly charts for light crude futures. This marks the potential for a bullish reversal and a sustained break below the neckline could see price drop as low as $49-$49.50.

USOIL: Oil has bottomed this timeI think we have good odds on the long side here. Tight stop under last week's low and off we go.
Once oil gets overbought again, we can trail stops in profit. OPEC will be interesting to watch this month.
Best of luck,

Fib Analysis on Crude OilGetting this chart up for a long entry at $45.41, based on the 50% retracement holding at $44.68. Based on the prior scorching downtrend, really wanted to make sure that this held first.
*My fib retracement tool is reversed to show extension levels*
Take profit: $49.33
Stop loss: $43.75
Floor trader pivot gave support on S1 at around $42.50-$43. Someone pointed out to me that the larger month-based floor trader pivot has S1 marked at right about $45, creating multiple support levels across multiple time frames (always the best trades to take).
I am always starting on the macro 1w and 1d charts before drilling down into the 4hr, 1hr, 30min charts. Oversold conditions for a while now, and some other qualitative factors make this a viable short-term long entry.
CRUDE OIL REVERSAL Hi Guys, today we're looking at WTI crude oil or CL1 on the monthly chart and right off the bat it is looking like a reversal is very close. We can see many technical indicators that point to this. As you can see firstly illustrated by the yellow circles on our chart that the $40 area has long term support going as far back as 1990 even.
Price action is supported by the 200SMA on the 2 month chart (400 SMA on the 1 month)a very significant area of support. Can it go lower? Yes, perhaps even to 40 area. On the fib chart we can see the price point has fallen past the .618 extension but I suspect that on the one month chart this will appear as a shadow candle which would mean a sharp rebound over the remaining week of 2018. Also look at the rising MACD which is very similar to the structure that formed right around July 2011.

USOIL: Correction is likely overI think we have decent odds for a bottom in oil here, after some talks about big players indulging in naked put selling surfaced, banks that -violating regulations- sold put options without any kind of coverage. It could have been that the market was being pushed down to margin call the traders behind these leveraged long positions in oil.
Natural gas has surged tremendously since oil topped, which likely is a short squeeze as well, as per @timwest's analysis, but interestingly, the last spike to the upside didn't correlate with a spike to the downside in oil...
Evidence indicates oil has bottomed, holding technical support from fundamental events (OPEC meeting key level price zone), since we haven't plotted daily highs below this zone yet and the decline has slowed down, forming a couple of inside days.
I bought into a few oil related names and oil futs today, my clients have received updates revealing these picks and the entry and sizing earlier today.
Best of luck for us all,
Ivan Labrie.
CL - Price is stretched. High potential for a reversalPrice is at the Warning Line (WL) and stretched out.
If price really can manage to turn from here, the target would be at least the L-MLH (Lower-Medianline-Parallel).
P!
US OIL (CL WTI) Long-Term Sell Well in Play.The bottom of the Daily channel has been tested with the touch into 66 and whilst this is likely just a wave i of 1 of 5 of C....the overall count is holding up well. Only a monthly close over 80 WTI would change the count.
The next challenge after this bounce in wave ii of 1, is to break the 66 and more importantly the 63 level. A break of 63 can open a veritable floodgate, though will let price and time dictate that as moves forward. The wave 5 does target under $20 so there's some potential in this black gold.
Short idea in Crude OilWe may bounce to 70.14 (61.8 of the last drop) or just drop from here, then back down to 61 (if we break 65.5) where we have some good fibs support, bounce and retest of 65.5 and then down breaking 61 and hitting 57.44 (50% retrace of a c leg up)... final bounce to 61.07 before a final drop to around 54 where we have a huge confluence of fibs: 61.8 of the c leg up, 38.2 of the big move up from Feb 2016 lows, and retest of the broken 23.6 from 2008 highs to 2016 lows.
CL did not break 0.38 long term fib yetCL did not break 0.38 long term fib today and failed.
Expecting $52 or $49 for real bounce to $58-60 then down to final bottom.
Battleground area reached. Grind = continuation For a long you'll need 1) Violent Flush or 2) 24-48hrs of angle smoothening and base formation. No trade on any other option.
2nd chance entries (CL)Deeper look @ breakout setups.
Blindly selling Lows or buying Highs is a recipe for disaster in the long run.
But the right kind of buildup can legitimize a breakout (BO) entry. When a breakout failure (BOF) does NOT immediately make a strong move in the other direction, you've got to ask yourself -- has the power balance really shifted?
If not, it could just be another example of pressure building in the original BO direction.
** Also, take a look at the breakout entry at B (no buildup) vs D (buildup). Especially relevant for a coiling market like crude oil.
CL - WTI CRUDE OIL (QUANTUM FLUX FIELDS) Short term fields for WTI.
Look for a bottom near $59.80 - $58.90
Crude Oil ( CL Daily ) Is it consolidation time ?Ok, president Trup was looking for lower prices and there you go right in time ;)
Bears are under control no doubt about it but todays price action ( I would like to see daily close ) suggest we may see consolidation phase between 61,50/62,00 a 64,30/64,80
We are within 'no mans land" here imho and only breakout/down might give Us further direction.
I do expect bulls will try to take out top of the channel but it might not be enough.
