Crude Oil IdeaFollow up on a very old OIL idea from 2021
OIL completed 5 waves up from the COVID lows until the $130 highs, now appears to be in a multi year correction.
There is bullish divergence on MACD and TSI on 1W chart indicating possible trend change.
I think this is possibly C wave up to $100 (1:1 extension) or $115 (1.618 extension).
A break above $130 would indicate the multi year correction was completed at the $64 lows, something like below:
Crude Oil Trend FollowingCCI is above +100 on the 1 hour chart
We are at the beginning of the 1 hour trend and creating the 2nd wave.
Previous resistance is now becoming support.
We are also finding support at the 1 hour TrendCloud.
4 hour chart is also in an uptrend.
Trade entry at PDO
Let's see if we can catch this 1 hour trend for 5 waves.
Options Blueprint Series [Intermediate]: US Election Oil Play1. Introduction
The 2024 US Presidential Election could have a significant impact on global markets, especially energy sectors like crude oil. With key policies and geopolitical tensions hinging on the outcome, many traders are eyeing a potential price surge in WTI Crude Oil futures. Our prior article (linked below) presented a potential opportunity for crude oil prices to rise by over 40% within a year following the election. This could bring WTI Crude Oil Futures (CLZ2025) from its current price of 67.80 to around 94.92.
To capitalize on this potential opportunity, a strategic options play can be used to leverage this potential move, providing not only a chance to profit from a bullish breakout but also some protection against downside risk. This article explores a Breakout Booster Play using options on the December 2025 WTI Crude Oil futures contract (CLZ2025), designed to benefit from a possible post-election oil price surge.
2. Technical Overview
In analyzing the December 2025 WTI Crude Oil Futures (CLZ2025), a strong support level is identified. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level aligns perfectly with a UFO support zone at 55.62, suggesting a significant area where buying interest could emerge if prices fall to this level.
The current price of CLZ2025 is 67.80, and the technical analysis points to the possibility of a substantial bullish move following the 2024 US Presidential Election. The projected price increase of 40% could push crude oil prices up to 94.92 over the next year. However, even a more conservative target of 20% (around 81.36) could offer considerable upside potential.
This analysis provides the foundation for constructing an options strategy that not only takes advantage of the potential upside but also offers a buffer zone against downside risk by capitalizing on key support levels.
3. The Options Strategy
The options strategy we'll use here is a Breakout Booster Play designed to take advantage of the expected rise in crude oil prices. Here's how the strategy is constructed:
1. Sell 2 Puts at the 55 Strike:
Expiring on November 17, 2025, these puts are sold to collect a premium of approximately 3.27 points per contract.
By selling 2 puts, we collect a total of 6.54 points.
This creates a buffer zone, allowing us to take on some downside risk while still profiting if prices remain above 55.
2. Buy 1 Call at the 71 Strike:
Also expiring on November 17, 2025, the call is purchased for 6.28 points.
This call gives us the potential for unlimited upside if crude oil prices rise above 71.
Net Cost: The net cost of this strategy is minimal, with the collected premium from the puts (6.54) offsetting most of the cost of the call (6.28). The result is a credit of 0.26 points, meaning the trader gets paid to enter this position.
Break-Even Points:
The position would lose money only if crude oil falls below 54.87 (factoring in the premium collected).
Profit potential becomes significant if crude oil rises above 71, with large gains expected if the projected move to 81.36 or 94.92 materializes.
This strategy effectively positions the trader to profit from an upward breakout while maintaining a buffer against downside risk. If crude oil drops, losses are limited unless it falls below 54.87, at which point the trader would be required to take delivery of 2 crude oil futures contracts (long).
4. Profit and Risk Analysis
Profit Potential:
The key advantage of this options strategy is its profit potential on the upside. If crude oil prices rise above 71, the purchased call will start gaining value significantly.
If crude oil reaches 94.92 (a 40% increase from the current price), the long call will be deep in the money, resulting in substantial profits.
Even if the price rises more conservatively to 81.36 (a 20% increase), the strategy still allows for meaningful gains as the call appreciates.
Since the net entry cost is essentially zero (with a small credit of 0.26 points), the potential profit is high, and it becomes especially powerful above 71, with unlimited upside.
Risk Management:
This strategy comes with a 19% buffer before any losses occur at expiration, as the break-even point is 54.87. However, it is important to note that if the trade is closed before expiration, losses could be realized if crude oil prices have dropped, even if the price is above 55.
Risk Pre-Expiration: If crude oil prices fall sharply, especially before expiration, the trader could face significant losses. The risk is theoretically unlimited because, as the market moves against the sold puts, their value could rise dramatically. If a trader needs to close the position early, those puts could be worth significantly more than the premium initially collected, resulting in losses.
Potential Margin Calls: If crude oil drops far enough, the trader may receive a margin call on the short puts. This could happen well before the price reaches 54.87, depending on the speed and size of the drop. If not managed properly, this could force the trader to close the position at a significant loss.
While there is a built-in buffer, this trade requires active monitoring, particularly if crude oil prices start to decline. Risk management techniques, such as stop-loss orders, rolling options, or hedging, should be considered to mitigate losses in case the market moves unexpectedly.
5. Contract Specs and Margins
WTI Crude Oil Futures (CL)
Tick Size: The minimum price fluctuation is 0.01 per barrel.
Tick Value: Each 0.01 movement equals $10 per contract.
Margin Requirement: Approximately $6,100 per contract (subject to change based on market volatility).
Micro Crude Oil Futures (MCL)
Tick Value: Each 0.01 movement equals $1 per contract.
Margin Requirement: Approximately $610 per contract, offering a lower capital requirement for smaller positions.
Why Mention Both?
Traders with larger capital allocations may prefer using standard WTI Crude Oil futures contracts, given their greater exposure and tick value. However, for smaller or more conservative traders, Micro Crude Oil Futures (MCL) provide a more accessible way to enter the market while maintaining the same exposure ratios in a smaller size.
6. Summary and Conclusion
This options strategy provides a powerful way to capitalize on a potential post-election rally in crude oil prices, while offering downside protection. The combination of selling 2 puts at the 55 strike and buying 1 call at the 71 strike, all expiring on November 17, 2025, creates a structured approach to profit from a bullish breakout.
With current analysis based on machine learning suggesting a potential 40% increase in crude oil prices over the next year, the long call offers unlimited profit potential above 71. At the same time, the sale of the puts at the 55 strike gives the strategy a 19% buffer, with the break-even point at expiration being 54.87.

Brent Oil Resistance Rejection IdeaDescription: Brent oil is approaching a key resistance level. This level previously acted as support, but after being broken, it has now turned into resistance. If the price revisits this area, there’s a high probability of rejection based on past price action.
Trade Idea:
Watch for the price to approach the resistance level.
If there are signs of rejection (e.g., bearish candlestick patterns or declining momentum), this could be a good opportunity for a short position.
Set a stop-loss slightly above the resistance level in case the price breaks through.
Potential target: Previous support level.

CYCLICAL ANALYSIS - Crude Oil to Go Up To Mid OctoberDISCLAIMER: This is not trading advice. This is for educational and entertainment purposes only to show how I view this market. Trading involves real risk. Do your own due diligence.
My COT strategy has Crude Oil SETUP for longs if we get a TRIGGER (Confirmed bullish trend change). But what do cycles have to say about this long trade idea?
Cycles suggest that we should see an up move in Crude Oil until Mid October/Early November.
I look at many interesting things:
-Using the DOW Arab Titans 50 index as a leading indicator of where Crude Oil may trade to.
-The annual cycle of oil is strong and should not be ignored. It too is supportive of taking a long until mid October.
-The Decennial cycle is supportive of a bounce in oil into mid October.
-Major economic cycles & temporary trading cycles are also indicating an upmove could be imminent for oil.
-Lastly, we see that the previous most similar year of price action (2019) suggests oil could move higher into October/November.
TO BE CLEAR: This does not mean I am going long blindly, I wait for entry TRIGGER (18 MA, 10h8c MAC, Divergence). This market did already trigger via divergence last Wednesday via the CCI (Commodity Channel Index) divergence confirmation.
If you have any questions about my cyclical analysis, feel free to shoot me a message.
I hope you had a good start to your week.
And as always...
Good Luck & Good Trading.
Managing the stop on Crude OilWe can only take what the market gives us.

Crude oil demand concerns in focus with key Chinese data on tapCrude oil is now up for the third day after finding strong support around the $65 area. Now near $70, could it resume lower from here?
It is important that that blue shaded area around 68.80-69.00 now holds as support if prices dip, otherwise we may see the bears step in on oil again.
From a macro point of view, demand concerns continue to linger. Unless we see some improvement in data to suggest that crude oil demand is going to be stronger, or supply growth is going to be weaker, this recovery we have seen should be taken with a pinch of salt. It is likely that prices have found support this week amid short-side profit taking and on the back of weaker US dollar, with hurricane disruptions further encouraging dip-buyers. But weakness in China’s economy is a major concern, which puts the weekend’s release of industrial data from the world’s second largest economy into focus. In the week ahead, crude oil traders will be watching the big central bank rate decisions, especially that of the Fed on Wednesday. If the FOMC’s economic projections in the dot plots point to weakness in growth, then that could trigger a fresh wave of selling.
