UKOIL (Brent crude). Alternative count. Ending diagonal It could be an Ending Diagonal in the position of wave C.
We can reach then the $55-58 area where both 61.8 of A and the top of diagonal meet.
Break below 45.12 (wave II) would invalidate this count.
I will add another possible count in the comment to this post to show you different perspectives.
JMP A good candidate to shortJPM is struggling to make new highs and has been lower low for a while. Once it breaks the 2009 black trend line it will be a free fall to the green support line from 1990's low. Once that breaches JPM might become a penny stock. Ultimate support MIGHT BE around $1 or $2. Those who missed to short Other so called good bank, still has time left to short JPM by buying leap puts 9if any available) of beyond 2018 like 2019/2020 or so.
Possible price action following surprize oil draw pre OPEC meetThe -6M draw on Wednesday took many by surprise, and sounds like oil is being moved around rather than being used up. The price action following the news was subdued, as if there is no enthusiasm for what would have been very bullish news under normal circumstances, given the Fed didn't hike and DXY took a steep fall.
OPEC side meeting in Algiers is on Wed 28th, with further rumors that it could be a full blown meeting. That in itself suggests that there is very little possibility of agreement. If you can't organize a meeting, what chance is there of organizing a freeze, or what they really need, a production cut.
Do opec really want higher prices, or are they satisfied to be putting further pressure on small US shale producers. If the oil majors want a piece of the shale pie, lower prices might suit them as well, especially if they are well hedged.
On 28th expect big price moves. Move to the upside not guaranteed IMHO.
Light Oil Technical ViewCL1! USOIL
The technical overview in the Oil expose a solid Downtrend and keep the spot inside the Triangle.
Triangle Bottom: $ 43.00
The bear is in the Auction control and it will keep pushing, we need keep it in mind. ALL retraccement can be a profitable oportunity.
happy week
Crude Oil Short opportunity Double top at 46.5 sends oil down, triggered by Saudi oil production freeze deal high probability of failure. From elliot perspective this could be described as impulse wave 1, assuming this is wave one, the retracement is likely to occur at 0.5 fib of the move, given the oversold RSI on the 60m chart, we are likely to find an entry at 45.35.
Wave 3 should be the greatest wave and is the objective of this trade. typically the size of the third wave is 1.618 the move of the first wave. However we could corrective structures in between the impulses, possibly forming bearish harmonic patterns and forming a downtrend line.
4h chart looks bearish and fundamentals are looking gloomy again.
USOIL----POTENTIAL BUTTERFLY & 5 WAVE MOVE to 50.5...Route MapOil moves on news specifically the weekly oil inventory figures.....so If price is 45.87 or thereabouts on WEDS PM 14th September ....then buy the oil inventory data release to complete this butterfly pattern.....to a target of 50.50......
There is a bigger potential butterfly sequence that this is part of which would take price to 59 area.....see my other post on this...
