UKOILBig risk and I do not advise it. This is something I have been watching from a distance for months, so no I want to try what I have been figuring out with OIL.
I'm only posting because I need it for records and learning material for myself in-case this goes sideways, even when you look the RR is very bad but this is how far my strategy for oil has brought me.
Crude
WTI Light Sweet Crude Oil, 6/22/23For Thursday, the 67.65 - 67.08 region can contain weekly selling pressures, above which 74.29 remains a weekly target, 76.88 attainable within 2 - 3 weeks.
Upside Thursday, 72.36 can contain intraday strength, while pushing/opening above 72.36 allows 74.29 intraday, able to contain session strength.
Closing today above 74.29 signals 76.88 within several more days, where the market can top out through next week, possibly into later July.
Downside Thursday, breaking/opening below 69.67 allows 67.65 - 67.08 intraday, able to contain selling through next week and the area to settle below for indicating 62.14 longer-term support as a 1 - 2 week target
WTI CRUDE OIL: Short term buy as the 4H MA50 held.WTI Crude Oil rebounded yesterday upon hitting the 4H MA50 and as the 4H technicals turned bullish (RSI = 55.674, MACD = 0.250, ADX = 26.371), this is a buy opportunity on the short term. We are targeting the 1D MA100 (TP = 73.50), where we will place the first medium term short (TP = 68.00). The maximum technical extension for this year has been the 1D MA200, so if the 1D MA100 breaks, we will place our second short at 77.00 for an even higher return trade (again TP = 68.00).

WTI CRUDE OIL aiming at the 1day MA100 for rejectionWTI Crude Oil / USOIL is rising inside the short term Channel Up after a Double Bottom.

Buy on the short term and target the 1day MA100 at 74.00 and then sell and target the Rising Support at 67.50.

WTI CRUDE OIL: Pivot level separates sell from buy trade.WTI Crude Oil got rejected today exactly on the 0.5 Fibonacci retracement level, which is the pivot level we have identified that determines the short term trade. The medium term pattern is a Megaphone and with both the 1D and 4H timeframes neutral (RSI = 52.099, MACD = -0.100, ADX = 28.689), we can easily realize that the price is exactly in the middle of the pattern, hence the Pivot.
We will buy if a 4H candle closes over the Pivot (71.05) and target the 1D MA100 (TP = 74.00). Similarly we will be selling as long as the candle closes under the Pivot and target S2 (TP = 64.00).
The RSI is trading inside a Triangle, whose top and bottom can help you take profit earlier if needed.

Crude Short oil make another bearish attemptThe price of crude oil is currently under bearish pressure below $70.00. No lower low printed on the daily chart yet in the previous bearish attempt. However, observing the candle close, there are more bearish candlesticks with strong momentum. It can be said that the sentiment is bearish and the bear traders have the upper hand. For now, traders should watch price developments by observing new higher high or lower low.
Today’s critical level to watch:
Support: $70.00, $65.00
Resistance: $77.13, $80.00, $85.00
WTI crude futures extended losses to nearly 5% to below $67 per barrel on Monday, the lowest in over five weeks, as concerns about weakening demand in top consumer China and rising Russian crude supply outweighed Saudi Arabia's plans to slash output. Russian oil exports to China and India rose to record levels in May even after the implementation of the European Union’s embargo and the Group of Seven’s price cap mechanism that started in early December. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, announced earlier this month its intention to reduce output by 1 million barrels per day to 9 million bpd in July, the lowest level in years amid an effort to bolster crude prices. Meanwhile, investors are cautious ahead of a busy week ahead with the US inflation rate and interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve, the ECB and the BoJ.
WTI crude oil is trending lower inside a newly-formed falling channel on its hourly time frame. Price just broke through the mid-channel area of interest and is setting its sights on support around $68 per barrel.
Commodities like crude oil are currently being weighed down by dollar strength, as traders appear to be pricing in another Fed interest rate hike during the FOMC statement this week.
Prior to that, the US CPI is up for release, and a strong headline figure might be enough to ramp up hopes for a 0.25% increase in borrowing costs. Recall that the May NFP reading also beat estimates again, so the US central bank has some room to tighten.
Meanwhile, crude oil could also take cues from the API and EIA inventory numbers, as another draw in stockpiles might mean upside for the commodity. A build, on the other hand, might suggest that purchases are slow or that supply remains elevated.
Still, keep in mind that the OPEC+ announced voluntary output cuts, which could translate to lower global supply levels.
However, technical indicators are suggesting that a bounce is due soon. For one, the 100 SMA is above the 200 SMA to show that bullish pressure is present and that support is more likely to hold than to break. Then again, crude oil is trading below both indicators, so these could hold as dynamic resistance levels on rallies.
Stochastic has been reflecting oversold conditions for quite some time, so turning higher would mean a return in bullish pressure. The oscillator has plenty of room to climb before reaching the overbought zone, so buyers could stay in control for a while.
RSI has also been lingering around the oversold area for a while, so a return in upside momentum might be due soon.
US Inflation Rate Seen Falling to 4.1%
The annual inflation rate in the US likely fell to 4.1% in May 2023, the lowest since March 2021, from 4.9% in April and 5% in March, mainly due to lower energy prices. On a monthly basis, the CPI is projected to increase by 0.2%, easing from a 0.4% rise in April. Meanwhile, core inflation is expected to decrease to 5.3% from 5.5%, with the monthly rate projected to remain at 0.4%, the same as in April. The upcoming data precedes the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision on Wednesday and is expected to strengthen the case for a pause in its tightening cycle.

European Natural Gas Down after Last Week's Rally
Natural gas futures in Europe fell more than 6% below €30 per megawatt-hour, on some profit-taking after last week's 35% rally as investors weigh lower supplies against ample gas storage levels and weaker demand. Gas shipments from the US are becoming scarcer as the supply is funneled to Asia, where prices are more competitive in the summer months due to stronger demand for cooling. Meanwhile, Norway's Equinor has postponed the restart of its Hammerfest LNG plant to June 14 due to technical difficulties. Additionally, the Turkstream gas pipeline, which transports gas from Russia through the Black Sea to Turkey, has been closed for maintenance work. Currently, Europe's gas storage is 70.4% full, and the European Union aims to achieve a storage inventory target of 90% by November 1.
Brent crude futures fell below $74 per barrel on Monday, as concerns about weakening demand in top consumer China and rising Russian crude supply outweighed Saudi Arabia's plans to slash output. Russian oil exports to China and India rose to record levels in May even after the implementation of the European Union’s embargo and the Group of Seven’s price cap mechanism that started in early December. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest oil exporter, announced earlier this month its intention to reduce output by 1 million barrels per day to 9 million bpd in July, the lowest level in years amid an effort to bolster crude prices.

Past trading plan:
#OIL #OOTT UpdateI think I just decoded the oil chart. I have been contemplating a rise to $90+ because I expected ABC flat where I now see WXY combination of zigzag, zigzag and triangle. The chart now perfectly aligns with Brent where wave [ B] did make lowest low presumably shaping a symmetrical triangle whereas WTI is working on a running triangle.
That means that we have only strong push left upwards from current low which should come either as a straight impulse or an expanding diagonal which will be extremely annoying.
Oil: Can support survive? Today's focus: Oil
Pattern – Descending Triangle
Possible targets – 64.06 73.22
Support – 67.05
Resistance – 72.22 74.15
Hi, and thanks for looking at today’s update. Our attention is on oil after yesterday’s sharp selling took price back to key support. This level has held firm for buyers, but could this be the fourth time lucky for sellers? So far, production cut updates have done little more than spur on sellers.
Will we see buyers re-hold this level, or could we see a new break lower by sellers that gets the downtrend back on track?
Thanks for stopping by. Good trading, and have a great day.
Crude Oil on a Major Level of Support on the Daily timeframeCrude oil has revisited the significant daily support level at $67. The price has previously shown a strong rebound by respecting this support. There is a possibility of a bullish reversal taking place, potentially forming a triple bottom pattern. However, it is important to consider the alternative scenario where the price maintains a bearish sentiment. In this case, a bearish breakout below the support level could occur, leading to a decline below this level and potentially establishing a new low for the year 2023. Traders and investors should closely monitor the price action and market conditions to gauge the direction and strength of the crude oil market.
#OIL #OOTT UpdateI probably sound desperate as I keep drawing lines into the sky. However, I am still convinced that we are in a first correction of a bull move that will run until the end of summer or something. The count has got simple and more aggressive now without stops until 80+. Ok, now you can call me a dreamer.
#Oil #OOTT UpdateWow oil has been very tough lately. Many times I jumped the gun with long calls. I am actually bearish into the end of 2023. The reason I am so stubborn to pick the local bottom is that my charts just do not make sense without this last big jump to 90-100 range that I expect any time soon.
The chart is a complete meat grinder. The price is actually trading under moving averages on many timeframes and sending me bearish technical signals. There are bearish candles and engulfings all over the chart. It is only the Elliott Wave count that keeps me bullish since I cannot see an alternative that could continue the downtrend.
However, I am running out of bullish counts as well. The leading diagonal is very risky bet without having it fully formed. However, besides Elliott Wave count there are emerging signs in support of bullish case. See the falling trendline that the price broke through and now retesting from above in a good bye kiss? Gasoil chart looks more pointed upwards trading above moving averages. And gasoil crack has made a bottom and is recovering (will post as an update to this chart).
USOIL UpdateAll right, seems like the oil is tightly following the scenario with a leading diagonal. So far, I see no alternative options at this moment other than wave can complicated further and make another dip. Once low is in the trendline 0- shall not be violated by (B) low in the next (A)(B)(C) zigzag.
USOILSPOT H4|Falling to support?USOILSPOT is falling towards a key support level and could potentially reverse from here. We could see price bounce up to our take profit target.
