Crude Oil

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower after facing resistance at the 5-day moving average. As mentioned yesterday, selling at the 5-day moving average was an effective strategy, and since it touched the 5-day line during the pre-market, sell-side trades were easier throughout the day. The daily chart shows continued selling pressure with six consecutive bearish candles. As discussed, it's important to monitor the 120-day moving average support and keep an eye on a potential overshoot down to the 20,300 area. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has crossed above the Signal line (golden cross), but selling pressure persisted. While a death cross has not yet formed, if it does, it could trigger a third wave of selling. Conversely, a failure to form a death cross could lead to a rebound, potentially forming an inverse head-and-shoulders pattern. Avoid chasing sell-offs and focus on range-bound trading strategies. Additionally, today’s CPI release could cause a lower wick and a bullish reversal candle, so caution is advised. Oil Crude oil closed lower after facing resistance near its recent high. The $79 level remains a strong resistance zone, and the significant divergence from the moving averages makes it difficult to break above easily. Some correction was expected in this area, and while the price has pulled back, it remains far from the 5-day moving average, suggesting the potential for further declines. The daily chart indicates support in the $75–$76 range, and a drop to this area should not be ruled out. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal on the MACD has appeared, but there is still divergence from the zero line, making buying at major support levels a preferable strategy. Selling near $79 remains valid. Additionally, oil inventory data is scheduled for release today, which may influence the market. Gold Gold ended with a doji candle, forming a small range after digesting the PPI data. Today’s CPI release is expected to provide a clearer direction for the market. Recent declines in expectations for additional rate cuts have been supporting gold prices. As today’s inflation data impacts Treasury yields, gold’s direction will likely hinge on the bond market's response. If gold forms a bullish candle today, both the MACD and Signal lines may rise above the zero line, continuing the bullish trend. Conversely, if gold closes with a bearish candle, it is likely to remain within the $2,625–$2,725 range for the time being. On the 240-minute chart, support around $2,680 is key, with the MACD potentially attempting to cross above the Signal line. Failure to form a golden cross could result in further declines. Focus on buying during dips before the CPI release, as this is the most favorable approach today. Wishing you a successful trading day! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bearish Market -Buy Levels: 20,840 / 20,780 / 20,745 / 20,570 -Sell Levels: 21,015 / 21,070 / 21,120 / 21,190 / 21,320 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 77.50 / 76.90 / 76.50 / 75.70 -Sell Levels: 78.60 / 79.10 / 79.65 / 80.10 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,683 / 2,674 / 2,666 / 2,661 / 2,654 -Sell Levels: 2,704 / 2,712 / 2,717 / 2,723 / 2,729 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

WTI Crude Oil Probes Trend Line Resistance at 5-Month HighsChart Analysis: WTI Crude Oil is approaching a pivotal juncture as it tests the long-term descending trendline resistance, while short-term momentum remains firmly bullish. 1️⃣ Downtrend Resistance (Red Line): Prices are testing the multi-month descending trendline resistance near $78. A breakout above this level could signal a shift in the broader bearish structure. 2️⃣ Moving Averages: 50-day SMA (blue): Rising steadily at $70.51, providing dynamic support for the recent uptrend. 200-day SMA (red): Flattening around $75.06, aligning with the key breakout zone. 3️⃣ Momentum Indicators: RSI: At 72.05, indicating overbought conditions, which could precede a short-term pullback. MACD: Bullish momentum is intact, with the MACD line above the signal line and accelerating in positive territory. What to Watch: A sustained break above the descending trendline and the 200-day SMA could pave the way for a test of $82-$85 resistance levels. Overbought RSI warrants caution; traders should monitor for bearish divergences or signs of exhaustion. Failure to break above resistance could see prices retrace toward the 50-day SMA or $74 support. WTI Crude is at a critical crossroads, where a breakout could signal a trend reversal, while failure to sustain above resistance might reinforce the longer-term bearish bias. -MW

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower with a lower wick, as anticipated, with a downward move at the start of the week. As mentioned, the area below 20,700 was a potential support zone for a rebound, and the market successfully bounced back. On the daily chart, the MACD and Signal lines have both dropped below the zero line, marking the first time the MACD has fallen below zero since September last year. Yesterday’s analysis focused on trading around the 3-day moving average; today, trading at the 5-day moving average is expected. A range-bound movement between the 3-day and 5-day moving averages is likely, and if the pre-market touches the 5-day moving average first, it will provide a favorable opportunity for sell-side strategies. While it is uncertain whether the 120-day moving average will be tested for support on the downside, the MACD's dip below zero suggests the potential for accelerated selling. If an overshooting move occurs on the downside, be prepared for a possible drop to the 20,300 area. The market may consolidate at support levels to form a base before reversing its trend. Monitoring the alignment of short-term moving averages on lower timeframes can help identify the reversal point. On the 240-minute chart, selling pressure continues, and the MACD has yet to cross the Signal line in a golden cross. A strong golden cross could trigger a sharp rebound, but if the MACD turns downward again, further declines are possible. Be prepared for both scenarios and adjust accordingly. Oil Crude oil closed higher, supported by potential U.S. sanctions on Russian oil exports. The price has risen to the $79 previous high level, and with the significant divergence from the 5-day moving average, corrections could occur at any time. On the monthly chart, oil has reached the upper Bollinger Band, indicating that managing risk with sell-side strategies at the highs may be more effective than chasing prices upward. On the 240-minute chart, the RSI remains in overbought territory, suggesting that the current trend may continue. However, short sell strategies should be approached cautiously and with short timeframes. The MACD and Signal lines show significant divergence and steep angles, indicating the potential for step-like upward movements even during corrections. Focus on buying at major support levels during pullbacks, but remain cautious as sharp declines could occur unexpectedly. A conservative perspective is advised. Gold Gold closed lower, facing resistance from selling pressure driven by rising Treasury yields. On the weekly chart, the MACD has turned downward, signaling stronger selling pressure. The daily chart shows the MACD above the zero line, but the Signal line has yet to cross above zero, suggesting a consolidation phase as the MACD moves closer to the Signal line. This places gold in a broad range-bound scenario. Ahead of today’s PPI and tomorrow’s CPI releases, gold is expected to trade sideways. On the 240-minute chart, a sell signal has appeared, but with the MACD and Signal lines above zero and diverging, sharp declines are less likely. Instead, support and consolidation around the 2,680 level are more probable. Focus on range-trading strategies, and exercise caution around the PPI release. Market Conditions The market is currently unsettled due to corrections in big tech stocks, Trump’s inauguration, and declines in quantum computing-related stocks. The VIX index is also showing a sharp upward trend, indicating heightened volatility. Be mindful of risk management under these conditions, and have a successful trading day! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bearish Market -Buy Levels: 20,990 / 20,890 / 20,840 / 20,740 -Sell Levels: 21,160 / 21,200 / 21,300 / 21,350 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 77.70 / 76.60 / 75.70 / 74.50 -Sell Levels: 79.45 / 79.90 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,677 / 2,672 / 2,666 / 2,661 / 2,654 -Sell Levels: 2,692 / 2,705 / 2,712 / 2,717 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

Are CL Futures starting a new bull trend in 2025?Crude Oil WTI Nymex Futures NYMEX:CL1! Big Picture: Crude Oil WTI NYMEX Futures Update – January 2025 Crude Oil WTI NYMEX futures are trading higher, with bullish price action evident at the start of 2025. Price has broken above the 2024 Composite Value Area High (CVAH) and is now approaching the Composite Value Area High from the 2022 high, as shown in the chart above. Macroeconomic Outlook From a global perspective, persistent inflation may be supported by elevated commodity prices. Higher crude oil prices, coupled with potential trade wars and tariffs, could drive up costs in major sectors, such as rare earth minerals. In this scenario, we anticipate central banks, including the Federal Reserve, maintaining higher interest rates. We believe the previously expected two rate cuts of 25 basis points each for this year may be reduced to zero. However, this creates a challenging environment for central banks. A combination of sticky inflation, resilient job markets, and low unemployment could lead to a "goldilocks" scenario. Recessionary risks will be increased unless some means of fiscal policy measures provide further support to the US economy. Key Levels to Watch Key levels represent areas of interest and zones of active market participation. The more significant a key level, the closer we monitor it for potential reactions and trade setups in alignment with our trading plan. CVAH: 79.50 Resistance R1: 79.50 – 79.85 Resistance R2: 81.30 – 81.60 Neutral Level: 78.77 CVAH 2024 / Support: 75.00 Support (Yearly Open): 71.85 Scenario 1: Exhausted Buyers, Mean Reversion In this scenario, we anticipate range-bound price action, offering a potential short opportunity if buyers appear exhausted. Price action and volume analysis would need to confirm this. Look for absorption around the neutral zone or below R1/CVAH, with prices failing to push higher. A lower high and seller dominance would confirm a mean reversion short setup. Scenario 2: Breakout Above CVAH A confirmed breakout above CVAH could indicate further bullish price discovery and the potential for a new uptrend. Consolidation above CVAH followed by strong price action would provide a trigger for long positions. However, significant resistance at this level necessitates confirmation via price action and volume analysis before taking action. Scenario 3: Swing Failure at CVAH In this scenario, prices rise above the neutral zone and R1/CVAH, but sellers regain control, pushing prices lower. A swing failure candle with a long wick near the resistance zone would indicate the failure. A subsequent higher low could present a short opportunity for a mean reversion trade. We encourage you to monitor these levels closely and incorporate them into your trade planning. Share your thoughts or insights on these key levels in the comments below.

Weekly and Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed lower following the non-farm payroll data release. As noted in yesterday’s analysis, the possibility of a sharp drop in the third wave of selling on the 240-minute chart was highlighted and has largely materialized. The monthly 5-day moving average (20,880) emphasized this month acted as support, forming a lower wick. On the weekly chart, the MACD has crossed below the Signal line, generating a sell signal. The index is positioned between the 3-day, 5-day, and 10-day moving averages above and the 20-day moving average below, suggesting the possibility of a range-bound market this week. If the market moves upward at the beginning of the week, it may decline later, and conversely, if it drops initially, a rebound may occur later in the week. The upper range is projected at 21,360–21,400, while the lower range is expected to be below 20,880. Flexible responses to early-week movements are crucial, especially with Wednesday’s CPI release likely to serve as a key turning point. On the daily chart, the MACD and Signal lines remain below the zero line, making sell-side strategies near the 3-day or 5-day moving averages preferable during rebounds. Downward movement toward the 120-day moving average is possible, but there’s a strong likelihood of a rebound after forming a lower wick, so avoid chasing the sell-off. On the 240-minute chart, while selling pressure remains strong in the third wave of the downtrend, support and a potential trend reversal could occur below 20,700. Overall, a sell-on-rebound strategy is advantageous today. Oil Crude oil surged on the possibility of U.S. sanctions on Russian crude exports. As previously noted, oil continues to display a pattern of reversing trends and sharply rising from the bottom. In pre-market trading, prices have already surpassed $78, but with the significant divergence from the 5-day moving average, caution is warranted today. On the weekly chart, the divergence from the 5-week moving average and the presence of previous highs around the $78 range suggest that even if prices rise further, chasing the rally should be avoided. The most favorable scenario this week involves buying on dips near the 5-week moving average, with corrections potentially reaching $73.4–$74. On the daily chart, more time is needed for shorter-term moving averages, such as the 20-day and 60-day, to align with current prices. On the 240-minute chart, the MACD has formed a golden cross, generating a buy signal. However, if prices fail to surge further, divergence in the MACD could occur. Pay attention to potential sell signals and additional declines. As the rapid rise calls for a correction, prices are likely to consolidate around $78 during pre-market trading, making range-bound strategies favorable. Gold Gold surged on Friday due to reduced expectations of a Fed rate cut following employment surprises. On the weekly chart, gold has formed a bullish candle, breaking above key short-term moving averages. However, the significant divergence between the MACD and Signal lines suggests that surpassing the previous high near 2,760 will be challenging. On the daily chart, the MACD is above the zero line, and the Signal line is trending upward, showing a buying trend. Buying on dips near the strong support zone at the 5-day and 60-day moving averages around 2,690 is a favorable short-term strategy. With additional upward movement possible, a buy-on-dips approach is recommended. However, volatility is expected to increase with Tuesday’s PPI and Wednesday’s CPI data, so plan accordingly. On the 240-minute chart, strong buying momentum continues, with the RSI entering the overbought zone, making premature selling risky. Weekly Overview This week, early movements are likely to continue last week’s trends, with a potential inflection point around Wednesday’s CPI data. Manage risks carefully, and have a successful trading week! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Bearish Market -Buy Levels: 20,945 / 20,900 / 20,780 / 20,740 / 20,680 -Sell Levels: 21,110 / 21,210 / 21,310 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 76.55 / 76.00 / 75.60 / 74.60 -Sell Levels: 78.35 / 78.85 / 79.45 / 80.00 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,713 / 2,703 / 2,695 / 2,685 / 2,677 -Sell Levels: 2,726 / 2,735 / 2,742 / 2,753 / 2,759 These strategies apply only during pre-market hours.

Oil is heading for $80Light Crude Oil (CL) is showing bullish signs after the confirmation of an upside break of the long term downtrend line “K” at $73. Now the contract is hitting the resistance of $76 where if it breaks to the upside then the space that can be stretched "unfortunately" goes up to $80. Above that, inflation alarm bells will start to ring. It is a thorny element that can spoil the upward momentum of the markets since it will make central bankers more frugal in their decisions to further reduce interest rates. For something to change here, the contract will have to declare a strong weakness of permeability at the level of $76 to $77.

CL Week Review 01/06/25 - 01/10/25Looks like my Directional Bias for CL was off. Instead of price coming lower to fill in the BISI and take the PDLs it rallied higher through the Volume Imbalance and raided all the BSL. Now that wick higher on Friday did not stop at a random spot. Look closely and you will notice its the Premium Daily 50% CE level of the wick and price reversed nicely off from there. Now the question remains does price justify to continue higher and take the BSL at 78.46 or does price reverse from there and then target the SSL and the D BISI? Currently its still looking Bullish since price closed above the Volume Imbalance and the PDH from Thu Oct 10 2024 at 76.24 but lets see how price opens on Sunday and we can definitely expect a volatile week since there is a good amount of economic news drivers.

USOUSD (Oil) Key support follow up.Thanks for checking our latest update, and happy new year to all. Today, we have followed up on our last oil update. You can see this update on the link below. The main topic of the last update was a key support area. The area held, and we saw a new rally develop. Today, we have looked at that rally and asked if it's going to break the long-term downtrend or if we could see price contnue to remain rangebound. We see short-term resistance at $74.75 and short-term support at $73.20. As always, traders must remain vigilant and stay abreast of the latest updates from OPEC and geopolitical influences, as these factors can significantly impact the market. Good trading from Eightcap.

Today analysis for Nasdaq, Oil, and GoldNasdaq The Nasdaq closed flat due to the U.S. stock market holiday and early futures market closure. The MACD has fallen below the zero line on the daily chart, indicating continued selling pressure. Today's non-farm payroll data will be a key event, as it may determine whether the Nasdaq breaks below the 60-day moving average and continues its decline. On the 240-minute chart, both the MACD and Signal lines remain below the zero line, indicating a persistent bearish trend. This suggests a possibility of further sharp declines, potentially expanding the divergence. Ahead of the data release, the pre-market is likely to remain range-bound. Focus on range-trading strategies but manage risks carefully as the non-farm payroll data approaches. Oil Oil closed higher, finding support near the 240-day moving average on the daily chart. After facing initial resistance around the $75 level, oil found support at the 240-day moving average, indicating a strong chance of another attempt to break above $75. Additionally, support near the 10-day moving average suggests the potential for another upward wave. On the 240-minute chart, a buying attempt is evident as the MACD moves closer to the Signal line. The chart resembles a head-and-shoulders pattern, where the neckline provides support, and the price may be attempting to form the right shoulder. Whether oil will surge beyond $75 remains uncertain, as the divergence in the MACD on the 240-minute chart and potential for time correction on the daily chart suggest caution. Avoid chasing prices at the highs; instead, confirm a breakout before taking action. Overall, buying on dips is the preferred strategy. Gold Yesterday, gold closed higher, continuing its upward trend on the daily chart. The MACD is approaching the zero line, and today's non-farm payroll data will determine whether gold moves above the zero line to resume a bullish trend or sharply reverses, resulting in a MACD dead cross and a bearish trend. On the 240-minute chart, the bullish momentum remains strong, but upcoming events such as today's data and next week's CPI report could create a turning point. Given the potential for trend changes, it’s better to react to established trends. While the short-term trend is strong, range-bound movement in the pre-market is possible, so trade accordingly. Buying on dips remains a favorable approach. As we approach the end of the trading week on Friday, heightened volatility is expected due to the non-farm payroll data. Manage risks carefully, and may you have a successful trading day! ■Trading Strategies for Today Nasdaq - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 21,190 / 21,120 / 21,065 / 20,990 / 20,945 -Sell Levels: 21,315 / 21,360 / 21,410 / 21,500 Oil - Bullish Market -Buy Levels: 73.90 / 73.50 / 73.00 -Sell Levels: 74.80 / 75.20 / 75.60 / 76.40 Gold - Range-bound Market -Buy Levels: 2,685 / 2,681 / 2,676 / 2,670 / 2,665 / 2,661 -Sell Levels: 2,700 / 2,705 / 2,710 / 2,716 These strategies are applicable only during pre-market hours.
