CL
oil quick analyses my analyses indicate that the market in bullish phase for now but the market will keep pushing in the main trendline wich is bearish so In short, the market is in a bullish corrective phase, but I do not recommend buying because it will be the opposite of the main trend wich is bearish well wait untill we have sign to sell wait for upgrade
DAY TRADE Market ConditionDay Trade Market Condition, Jesse Livemore "There is only one side to stock market; and it is not the bull side or the bear side, but the right side" :
NQ, ES, CL, BTC (a day trader on NQ, markets I pay attention with);
Market Condition show on a table of each chart
Rally, long position offers higher success
SHOPzone, price fluctuate randomly between Supply/Demand levels (traders get burden mostly, day trading)
Drop, short position offers higher success
BULL, up trend for the week
Cumulating , keep eyes on left column (the first top 3 above)
BULL, down trend for the week
Top down approach for day trade, quoted from Jesse Livemore, "I must buy on a rising scale. I don't buy long stocks on a scale down I buy on a scale up."
Is Crude going to fall below $69 over before the end of 2022?You tell me? My analysis is that Asia/Europe will contract demand as high Natural Gas and other economic constraints pull purse strings throughout the Christmas Holidays/Winter.
If this happens, we may see a demand destruction cycle take place in Oil that could be 40~50% of the demand destruction that took place when COVID hit.
The new strains of COVID are already making news and any pump in infections throughout Asia/EU/Africa may send 65% of the world into LOCKDOWNS again.
Don't get too bullish as it appears Crude is attempting to settle below $69 ppb.
FYI.
Follow my research.
Looking for Long Idea on CL The CL daily time frame is near a low price
hitting the long term up trend line. If support
holds. It is expected the market will push bullish
above the short term down trend line entering
into the buy zone. Once or if the market breaks
and closes above the short term down trend line
and enters into the buy zone. I twill be a good idea
to apply up Fibonacci to find the next bullish
Fibonacci price target then turn to the one hour
time frame to look for low prices in the buy
zone. Until then. It is better to be out of the
market wishing to be in than to be in the
market wishing to be out.
CL or UCO Oil Idea Oil going up. this is only the beginning. prepare yourselves. SPR drains stop after the November mid term elections. not a lot left in it anyways. production cuts, combined with a global energy crunch from a Green transition coming too early before viable technology. Great reset agenda. confluence of bullish ideas. DXY not cooling off until 118. Oil was only down so far to price in the recession. so many factors. 12-18 months of bull market coming for all commodities, still imo. not financial advice
WTI Crude / CL - An Intervention: Saving Blind BullsWhen crude was trading at $120 a few months ago, all you would hear on Twitter from people like Javier Blas from Bloomberg and other propaganda pundits is about how the fundamentals of oil are so bullish, because OPEC production is maxed out, the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine, domestic demand because summer, the government donating the strategic reserves to Chinese Communist Party firms on the cheap , etc, etc.
There was all that chatter about Europe putting a price cap on Russian oil, and that causing the price to surge overnight to $350 in some kind of dystopian nightmare.
At the time, everyone wanted to get long. Everyone would only get long. I remember one day in July oil returned to $91 on like a 10% daily drop and one Twitter pundit thanked the market makers for their "delta squeezing put options" before expiry and that he was happy that he got to buy calls that cheap because it was never going to happen again.
This is the way bull runs are. They tend to end when the narrative flips entirely to "who would ever short this?!"
And that ending is easier for bulls when something gaps down and breaks the momentum than it is with the price pattern being employed by the WTI MMs where everything all the way up and all the way down is trading in an efficient pattern that seeks-and-destroys both ways on the shorter timeframe.
In terms of specific price action, as I pointed out in my early August call that oil was on its way to far lower double digit numbers:
WTI Crude Oil - Running and Gunning
That the August price action with a quiet sweep of the July ~$86 lows, followed by a bounce, followed by a quadruple bottom, was simply too naive to think would be support.
Now, we're at $81, and it once again sounds like a dip to buy. And while we're probably going to see a run back to $86~, this market is no longer in a dip to buy position.
A lot of things make sense when you look at the monthly:
All of this price action we just experienced in early 2021 was, ultimately, a clean up of the unfinished business from the 2008 bubble pop, which was never addressed during the 2010-2014 ranging.
And really, after oil hit... -$38 during Coronavirus Disease 2019 hysteria, you really have to call that the bottom.
If you can't call -$38 the bottom, what would a bottom ever be?
Now, for those who guffaw at the prospect of oil going back to $50, this is totally fair enough. As always, it sounds impossible, until it unfolds. Humans are only able to believe in what they see. Having even a modicum of faith is a real stretch for almost everyone.
But I would like to point out that there is a precedental fractal left behind in the run up to the 2008 bubble pop, which you can see on the left hand side of the monthly chart above.
Oil more or less traded in a miniature of this exact same 2022 pattern. When it broke its pivots before finally rocketing to $140, it amounted to a total 35% $28 downturn, which was an enormous number in those trading ranges.
Everything is highly inflated and much more volatile and interesting today.
The weekly chart shows just how dangerous the situation is for bulls.
The reality is, the only inefficiency during this current market structure is in this $81 range, which we are sitting in. It's not showing a lot of interest in bouncing, and it would have to get back into the $100s to really count as a reversal.
So if $80 isn't the target to make a bottom at, what is?
Well, looking at the daily we can see more clearly that there's something of a plan B in the $69 range that can count as maintaining market structure if a reversal occurs within it.
And there's also a chance to maintain the trendline at $66.
But in reality, there's a fat double bottom to blow away formed from the September and December 2021 lows.
And based on the weekly, there are inefficiencies left behind that were never readdressed at the unfortunate numbers around $50, and specifically right under the psychological $50 level.
In my opinion, before oil turns around and rips North to levels that will make living in this world nearly impossible for everyone who isn't a billionaire, the MMs will seek and destroy these levels. And they may stop being so polite about it.
It may start to come faster and faster.
At some point in the near term future, dumps may come with a quick and significant gap down, and this time, they won't fill.
Pundits, analysts, and all sorts of charlatans will all be stunned and bewildered by how it could happen under the macro conditions. And then they will all say "oh, of course, look at these data points. It was only natural that $120 was an inflated number."
The answer, they will say, is undoubtedly "something something mainland China 'Zero-COVID' economic demand," not understanding the real state of disaster being wrought in that country as Wuhan Pneumonia goes on a tear and the Chinese Communist Party is starting to be unable to cover it up for much longer.
But $125~ was not a top for WTI crude, and neither was $140. A much more painful number like $180 or $200 is coming, and it's not going to take years to get there.
I believe that natural gas, likewise, has a lot of downside left to go:
Natural Gas / NG - What, Truly, Is a Bull?
A lot of things are probably going to bounce for a bit longer and then start to very aggressively dump. You should be prepared for this.
Stop listening to talking heads, propaganda, and charlatans, and be rational. None of them want to help you survive financially and none of them want you to be rich. Most of them don't even trade. Trading is hard. Everyone who has ever traded with live funds knows how hard it is to get in at the right time, in the right direction, and hold through all the chaos and pain until something bears fruit.
Fronting and flexing on the Internet to a flock of 50 Cent Party bots and collecting a 6 figure salary from Bloomberg or a 6 figure donation from YouTube's profit sharing program, on the other hand, is just so, so easy.
Talk is cheap, and yet, mastery is not.
Rationality is, ultimately, linked to your level of morality and your values.
WTI Is Heading To Multi Year Low (Supported by OPEC report)It's no surprise that the oil market is as volatile as ever, following the ongoing trade war saga between the US and China. Yesterday, OPEC has released their report on future outlook of the market demand for the rest of 2019, which is BEARISH. They are helpless as demands are dropping, and the US shale supplier keep on continuing to pressure the price with flooding of supplies. On the other hand, the election of US is on the year 2020, which means that Trump would want to keep the prices low to keep his key voters happy, primarily the oil consumer. As long as the price of WTI is above 30$, the shale oil provider are still in the profitable range. We have seen the 22$ price during early 2016, Trump won the election and the price rally until peak multi year high of 78$. Which means, the current wave is expected to complete at the range of 20-30$, thus making way for the epic rally to 116$ !

USOIL - A Bullish opinion Hello traders in my opinion USOIL is approaching a strong support zone on spotted the weekly time frame via a brearish trendline and a falling support i think that if it bounces back from that zone + the falling support , breaks the trendline and retests we might see a Bullish correctional movement
just an opinion not financial advice
SPY / SPX / ES - Shortened Week AheadAugust did not end well for Buyers. Rate Creep across the curve applied pronounced pressure.
RISK OFF is in trade across all Sectors within the X Complex.
TNX from a Rate perspective - Rate instability and lower rates?
At present, No. Bond VX is kicking up. It is however not damaging Banks as of yet, Financials are hanging
on... slightly.
Will the VIX Spike to 38 to 41? The ES would need to collapse to and through 3600, SPY clearly to new lows.
VVIX is seeing the out-of-control setup - Few Puts in SPY, Few participants in VIX Calls due to IV.
Prices sit at the most Pivotal area. Volimes are the main takeaway. Cumulative NYSE TICK took us
sideways into the Close. Is the selling slowing down... that will depend on whether we see compression
this week within a trading range.
Friday was a Trending Day. Can Buyers Create Balance here? It will require a SOH on the SELL SIDE.
Market Internals need to HOLD. Look below and fail is open as well.
11 of the past 19 September's ended up with 8 ending Down. The past 20 years have been highly volatile
and I find it a generational approach more relevant than the overall historical as HFT/ALGO Trading has
become dominant with increased Volatility - It's my approach this September.
Alladin will be extremely busy this Month - chalking up further gains for Blackrock. The Quarterly close
will provide important answers to a Trend in decline at present. It is somewhat overstretched on OSCs,
but Summation Indexes have more work to do. This can provide ever-increasing Volatility as we see the
VIX Curve pricing in expanding VX for several months.

A very brutal 2022 into the month of September - where Monthly, Weekly, and Daily timeframes are
within poor Structure.
August SPY Monthly provided a very nasty inverted Hammer. Sellers stepped up in spades at the Highs
and Sold to the opening Print, and through the Opening Print - to close on lows.
September's opening print did not hold the lower Body Bar on Friday - a poor close to the week with
options settlement into the Cash Session.
Buyers were non-responsive at best. Sellers sold through on increasing volume for the 3rd consecutive
day.
September's big events are ahead - the 13th CPI. Powell will provide color commentary on the 21st.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Last Month's Price action served to expand the range for Major Indices.
Monthly timeframes continue to hold Lower Highs, not a good look from the June Lows at present.
The 379.92 Level is the .382 and Pivotal for the Month of September, it is presently the initial implied
Lower Range for the SPY on the confirmed break and closing below the Trend Line Support.
SPY 50% resides at 349.12 - the opening to a larger and lower low - into the Gap Fill @ 338.50.
Obviously larger targets below on increased panic and further Selling.
Price is currently sitting on top of what was prior support.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
I have cautioned for some time, Rates were a distraction too far larger issues within the Global Economy.
Repeatedly.
There are 3 legs to this stool.
Forward EPS, which remains incredibly high based upon earnings projections and their required adjustment
too far lower expectations. These have been partially priced in after Powell dropped the Hammer. There is
more work to do there.
QT remains a recycling operation - in through the out door with the appearance of an aggressive FED - while
advancing CBDC via FED NOW/FED DIRECT at an increasing pace for Rollout. This and 41067 won't bode well
for Crypto IMHO. Simply adding to the avalanche of impending exits which can be triggered by any panic in
trade.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
After large declines for all Major Indices... we've never seen a real Flush down panic, not one.
This is a once in 100 years Bear Market and it will be difficult to navigate as the Algorithms are growing
increasingly predatory.
Be careful out there, reduce Size and be on guard for increasing VX in September.
Bearish Sentiments @ AAII are rising to 50.6% again. Stop runs on trailers and catching traders offsides
should be anticipated.
We will see if the breakdown hammers this lower or price can manage to consolidate in a larger range
this week - expanding to the downside but providing outsized squeezes based on the Gamma / Delta.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
A Break of 388.96 has the potential and higher probability of creating a massive flush down and panic move to the downside.
Price is currently sitting on top of DOM Support or what many refer to as a Volume Node, I'm old, Depth of Market (DOM) is my preferred nomenclature.
3 Weeks of selling favors the Sellers - expected moves will produce lower Highs in Trend. Daily DT is another large Lower Low.
The Daily TF is the confluence with the Trendline @ 390.85 - BREAKING THIS will get nasty.
Buyers will absolutely need to defend early this Week, 399.50 may limit the upside in the Range.
379 to 399.50 is the Larger Range this week.
408.25 breaks a Potential Bear Flag.
Sector Support appears to be a Risk OFF in ALL Sectors.
HYG will provide leading indications as will XLF - breakdowns here would be very NEGATIVE.
Can Buyers consolidate here... we will see.
Take care and be cautious - trade Safe, Lower highs in the XLK will provide entry into the Trend.
Crude Oil in 4H time Frame.Hi Everyone,
Please see updated 4H chart, Oil already hit the support around 86 ready to test the key point at 90, if break there is likely 2 possible upside moment.

we also need see the next coming geopolitical movement from Russia , China and USA.
The oil embargo will also have an impact on price movements.
first possible range(4h - 1D):
80 - 110 USD
second possible range (4h - 1D):
75 - 103 USD

Crude Oil dropping contrary to fundamental expectations?.
Crude Oil D1 4-9-22:
- Fundamentally there are lots of reasons to expect higher prices
- Seasonals and technicals however point to more downside
Seasonal:
- Seasonally Oil tends to be weak in Q4
- Weakness started earlier this year so might end earlier also (NOV-midterms ?)
Pivot Points:
- Monthly: Price is below SEP Monthly Pivot, heading for S2 = <80.00
- Quarterly : Q3 predicts a run from QPP to QS1 = Yearly Open = Monthly Range Low = 50% retrace of upswing = 75.00
VWAP:
- Yearly VWAP has been broken lower
- Quarterly VWAP in now in charge
- Need a convincing break above QVWAP in order to turn bullish again
Correlation:
- CADJPY normally follows Oil closely, now big divergence
- Divergence probably due to extreme YEN-weakness
- Gives reason for a closer look into CADJPY

Are gasoline prices heading back to 2.00 dollars a gallon? $ugaWholesale gasoline futures could be telling us that the driving demand is bad and just not there to support these high prices. War and geo politics is pushing Crude Oil prices up as well as the heating related products, but gasoline is trading on its own forces currently. With the rejection at around 4.00 a gallon, is the support here or are we destined to look for support lower?
Good Opportunity to go Long on CLCL broke a trading range held since June 2022.
now CL is retesting the range and forming a key pullback at 92.44.
The market ended this week with a hammer (bullish pattern) that showed the power of buyers.
Going long would be a good idea for investors or swing traders with a 1 3 risk reward ratio.
The price will possibly reach $100 as a potential first target.
it could even rise to 115 if buyers hold power in the next weeks
SPY - 2 Hour / Buyers & Sellers prefer Higher How often does the Market reward both when they are aligned?
Not often.
Rare to see both seeking Prices to move higher, and potentially
why Wall Street will shake things up with a few surprises.
Volumes declined significantly yesterday.
NVDA reports today.

It's what I would do, were it my job to frustrate as many market
participants as possible.
Areas of interest below for the SPY - 407.35 / 408.11 / 409.88
with the Pivot at 410.2.
For Friday's Expiry, the Range is 410 to 416 for Retail, the SPX will
lead once again, the possibility of a large but unapparent disconnect
is why we see Max Pain fail time and again.
Large Traders have been ranging the SPX with a larger sell-side
favor intraday as well as into September, on balance they are
quite heavily positioned for further downside.
_________________________________________________________
What stood from yesterday:
The VIX Barely budged, the DX pulled back .88% at one point, while
2YY and TNX stayed within range.
News out of the Eurozone was negative in the extreme, with Natgas
correlated to Crude indicating - $410 to $500/bbl was fair value.
A trap or set expectations, longer term we are very bullish crude,
but are positioned for fills between 62 & 77.
OIL is showing continued strength as it approaches 95 this morning.
I exited my longs this morning.
GOLD, not so much - 1687 remains open.
Noise, for now, but as long as Crude is moving higher on OPEC's
production cuts impending, the SPY SPX ES NQ YM RTY will struggle.
Energy is having a marked impact on Price since the 200 EMA touch.

LONG CRUDE - Trading with COT dataCOT Data is pointing to Crude Oil ( NYMEX:CL1! or AMEX:USO ) being primed to pop after it's seasonal downturn
This is a great example where money management is key as well as not blindly using the COT data as the sole reason for entry. Personally, I have a proprietary daily chart indicator I use to enter trades where COT data is giving signals. Crude Oil has been declining all the way down since June despite COT data that is telling us it is ready to go up (My proprietary indicator did not once provide a buy signal throughout that time period). I'm looking closely for a short-term signal to enter off of this week
Notes on My Trading Methodology and What I'm Even Talking About
COT Definitions:
- COT: Commitments of Traders Reports - A weekly report published by the government (CFTC) that shows long and short positions of the below 3 groups (As well as much more data I don't look at). We look at the NET positions of these 3 groups and compare them to historical levels to signal trade opportunities
1- Commercials: Hedgers - We want to trade with them when they're at extreme levels (Think Tyson, Cargill, General Mills, etc)
2- Large Speculators: Hedge funds and large institutions - We want to fade them when they are at max positions (Think suits in NYC and commodity funds)
3- Small Speculators: People/institutions trading small lot sizes not big enough to report to CFTC - We want to fade their max positions as well since they represent the public (Think dude in his PJs trading and small trading firms)
Indicators on Chart:
- The first indicator shows the net positions of the 3 groups above plotted over time
- The second indicator is an index of the relative buying/selling of commercials over a certain lookback period. Anything above 95 is looking for buy, look to sell when it hits 0
- Note: Just because the Commercial's net position is negative doesn't mean it can't be relatively net long and signal a buy (same in the opposite scenario)
Trade Setup - Both Must Happen:
- When commercials are at max levels we are alerted to buy or sell (Depending on the criteria above)
- On a daily chart , use technical indicators, candlestick patterns, news, etc to enter the trade (not shown here)
- Added bonus when the trend is your friend (I use a Multiple Moving Averages indicator to visualize)
