Oil Still Bound by $100Oil rallied slightly, but is still maintaining the $90 handle. We shot up from support at $95.24, but fell short just below the target of $100, hovering around $99 at the time of this writing. The Kovach OBV is drifting up, suggesting a bull bias that could result in a breakout soon. If so, $100 and $101 are the targets. Watch for resistance here, and a possible retracement back to $95.24, with $92.03 an anticipated floor for now.
Crude Oil Futures WTI (CL1!)
USOIL 27th JULY 2022Oil prices rose for the second day in a row, Tuesday (26/7). Amid growing concerns about tightening European supplies after Russia, a major energy supplier is cutting gas supplies via a main pipeline. The European Union has repeatedly accused Russia of using energy blackmail. The Kremlin said the shortage had been caused by maintenance issues and Western sanctions.
EU energy ministers on Tuesday approved a proposal for all EU countries to cut voluntary gas use by 15% from August to March.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allied producers (OPEC+) are expected to confirm as a mere formality their decision to expand oil production by 650,000 barrels per day in July and August. The OPEC+ group of producers including Russia, began two days of meetings on Wednesday, though sources said there was little prospect of agreement to pump more oil . The net drop in crude oil inventories was flattered by SPR (Strategic Petroleum Reserve) releases, while the gasoline stock jump is because U.S. refineries are running at over 95% capacity.

CRUDE OIL (WTI) Your Trading Plan For Next Week🛢
Hey traders,
WTI Crude Oil is approaching a solid demand area.
To catch a bullish move from that, watch the reaction of the price to the resistance line of a falling parallel channel.
If the price breaks and closes above that, we will expect a bullish movement at least to 104.5 level.
Alternatively, bearish violation of the yellow zone will trigger a further decline.
Good luck next week, traders!

Crude Oil Bullish TailwindsCrude Oil (September)
Yesterday’s close: Settled at 94.70, down 1.65 on Friday and up 0.13 on the week
- Recession fears weighed on Crude Oil ahead of the weekend after poor Eurozone PMIs and given continued mass testing in China.
- Also, a bearish EIA report and Libya production coming back online added negativity to the. Libya is now seen ramping to 1.2 mbpd over the next two weeks.
- A return of geopolitical premiums after Russia attacked the Odessa, Ukraine port only one day after inking a deal to allow the traffic of exports?
- Bullish response this morning to major three-star support at 92.83-92.97, aligning with the July 6th low, creates a right shoulder of a bullish inverse head and shoulders pattern.
- Strong overhead technical resistance persists due to steep trend line from Jun 14th high.
- Look for momentum to shift with a close above the 21-dma at 99.49 today.
- Must close above major three-star resistance at 96.52-96.97 to encourage added buying.
- A bullish breakout will be secured upon a close above major three-star support at 100.57-100.74.

Will Oil Test $100 Again??Oil has edged back down to support after topping out at $100, a strong psychological and technical level. As predicted here, we are finding support at our technical level of $95.24, confirmed by a green triangle on the KRI. Support is looking weak, and we could break down further. The next level below and target for support is $92.03. After that we could test the base of the $90 handle at $90.06. If we pivot off current levels we could make a run for $100 again.
Oil Hovers Under $100Oil has edged upward, but is meeting lots of resistance in the high $90's, just below the target of $100. We edged past $100 briefly, only to retrace back to comfort at the base of the $99 handle at the time of this writing. The Kovach OBV is trending up, but appears weak, suggesting we will need more momentum to break through $100 definitively. Many red triangles on the KRI are signalling resistance here, so anticipate a rejection back to $95.24, or even $92.03. If we are able to break through the low $100's there is a vacuum zone to the next target of $106.
Oil Gives Up the $100'sOil appears to have bottomed out at our exact level of $92.03, with a wick extending to $90.06 as we predicted last Friday. We were then able to pivot back up to the mid $90's, meeting swift resistance at $96.88. We have several red triangles on the KRI signifying resistance around this price area, just before $100. Sub $100 prices will surely be welcome to consumers world wide, after soaring oil prices have hit relative highs in the $100's just a few months back. The Kovach OBV has bottomed out, which suggests that we will need strong momentum to come through to break current resistance. if so, $100 and $101 are the next targets. Othwerwise, we can expect to test $92.03 and $90.06 again.
CRUDE Bounce and rehash IILast week's assessment was way off, admittedly. No follow through and just a turn and dive. It went further down to 92, and bounced strongly to end the day, and the week with a candlestick and long lower tail.
Expecting bullish week ahead... later in the week.
104 resistance, then 108 next resistance.
TRADE OF THE WEEK | Patience Pays & Winners Win💰
Hey traders,
As you know, I made 4 accurate predictions in a row on WTI Crude Oil.
This week the price was retesting a key level.
I spotted a very nice confirmation on that with a double top formation and a bearish breakout of a rising wedge pattern.
The market dropped sharply then and I spotted one my confirmation:
neckline breakout of a head and shoulders pattern.
Great winner and nice trade.

Oil Digs into the Lower $90'sOil dipped down further into the $90's, with a wick touching $92.03, as we have noted in these reports as the next level of support. We do appear to be pivoting nicely back to $95.24, but are bounded by $96.88. The Kovach OBV appears bearish, but does seem to have bottomed out, suggesting potentially that oil has reached a floor. If so, we expect it to shoot back up to the $100's. If not, we could retest $92.03. The next level after that is $90.06, which is our last technical level at the base of the $90 handle, before we dig into the $80's.
Crude oil will probably find its long term top soonAfter almost two and a half years, i decided to come back to tradingview again. Right now i am working for one of the largest commodity trading houses and covering our metals trading business in Asia. In the future, i will try to share as much as my personal views at here, also you all welcome to challenge and discuss.
In the last few months, we see an incredible inflation increased in Europe and USA due to the Ukraine war. The gap of export push the price of almost all kinds of commodities to the historical high, including agriculture products, energy products, metals, etc. The people in Europe and USA are suffering from this sudden increasing of living cost, which also brings a lot of pressures to their governments.
For crude oil, I think those leaders will give up to the inflations and try their best to buy Russian oil and Russian gas to lower down their domestic energy price. ( I believe that they will also buy a lot of corn and wheat from Russia ) In the other hand, the Fed's rate hiking decision will keep bringing pressures to the commodity market. So due to the economic cycle and potential cooling down of global energy crisis, I think Crude oil will find its long term top soon.
At the technical side, i marked two resistances and one support line. For sure, the resistance zone will attract many bears to join the fight.
Possible top coming soon for $DXY?I can't say that I've called a top using trendlines atop of a bullish trend, but I've seen a few others do it. With the rise in the dollar bringing mass bearishness to rest of the investment complex, a pause could bring some welcome relief. Anyway, I thought the timing might be relevant as important lower levels approach in $CL, $UX, and some metals, as well being overdue for a meaningful bounce in the equities. I will use the $109.xx marker in DXY to signal a buying point for small positions in UUUU, UEX, NXE, USO, GDX, SILJ, SPY, IWM, AAPL, AMD, et al
