Crude Oil
WTI Crude oil - front expiration
Technical Analysis:
Today, the WTI Crude Oil futures experienced a negative extension in their price, and they reached an important support level around $75. On an hourly basis, it seems like wave 3 may have exhausted. This suggests a potential change in the price direction.
Scenarios:
1. Scenario 1 - Positive Rebound. It's realistic to expect a rebound in the price to around $80. This means the price may go up from the current level.
Strategy for Scenario 1:
- Set the position's Delta to positive, following your investment criteria.
- First target: $77.50
- Strategy on reaching target 1: Set the position's Delta to zero
- Second target: $79
- Strategy on reaching target 2: Set the position's Delta to zero
2. Scenario 2 - Negative Acceleration. If the price breaks down below today's low of $74.91, we could see a further decline to around $73.90. This would indicate a negative acceleration in price.
Strategy for Scenario 2:
- Set the position's Delta to negative, following your investment criteria.
- First target: $73.90
- Strategy on reaching target 1: Set the position's Delta to zero
- Second target: $72.50
- Strategy on reaching target 2: Set the position's Delta to zero
Summary:
The technical analysis suggests a potential short term technical change in the price direction. We consider a positive rebound strategy if the price hold level $75. I the price drops below $74.91 experiencing a negative extension, we will consider a short strategy.
Make sure to follow your investment and adjust your position's Delta accordingly to manage your risk.
Investment criteria we highly recommend:
CONSERVATIVE strategy: max position's Delta value (+/-) 0.20
MODERATE strategy: max position's Delta value (+/-) 0.30
AGGRESSIVE strategy: max position's Delta value (+/-) 0.40
Please note that investing in derivatives involves hight risks. We strongly advise against invest in future or options naked (not hedged), and to carefully follow your investment strategy criteria and risk management.

Crude Oil to $160?😳 (Stop Harbouring Iranian Petroleum Bill)The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill called ‘Stop Harbouring Iranian Petroleum’. The purpose of the bill is to do all the following listed above🔺
But in more simple terms, the plan of the U.S. government is to pull Iran into the war & shift blame onto them, for the genocide currently going on in the Middle East. They’ll say Iran is funding the war & the only way to stop that is by blocking & putting a price cap on Iranian Oil. They do this knowing Iran will likely block off the ‘Strait of Hormuz’ as a retaliation.
What happens now? Saudi countries can no longer use the Strait of Hormuz to export their Oil, which’ll create supply shortage for Western nations. This’ll lead to Crude Oil prices shooting higher & forcing more people towards electric vehicles & products📈
WTI OIL Hit both bearish targets. Time to buy again?WTI Oil (USOIL) hit both our 79.00 and 75.00 targets on the H&S sell call we made (see chart below) on October 30:
The trend on the 1D time-frame evolved into a Channel Down that broke below the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) but hit on Wednesday it's bottom (Lower Lows trend-line) and is so far holding. As the 1D RSI touched the 30.00 oversold barrier, we have a strong buy signal emerging as every time in the last 2 years the 1D RSI got oversold, Oil always rebounded to reach the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) at least.
The 1D MA50 has been the Resistance since October 24 and as Support 1 (73.85) is very close, we turn bullish again after a long time to target the top of the Channel Down at 82.00.
Notice that this correction got closer to the 1W MA200 (red trend-line) which is the ultimate long-term Support and the one that held on 5 different times from mid March to June (closed all 1W candles above it and eventually led to September's High).

Crude Oil Futures capitulating from early October rally despite ongoing Middle East tensions & geopolitical uncertainty.
Only macroeconomic narrative/headwind that would override war escalations is increasing probability of global recession-induced demand destruction, IMO.
Notes:
Flat bottom pattern development = bias towards bearish price action, TBC.
Crude Oil = highly manipulated trade with ongoing short-risk from Saudi Arabia &/or Russian market intervention - trade at your own risk to capital.
Should the CRUDE OIL rally from here?The crude oil's 4th wave dip seems to have found the right area from where it might look to reverse and then rise towards the 97-100$ mark in the pending wave 5.
The rise from the MAY bottom may look like a corrective ABC to many but in this chart i considered taking the wave 1 rise in May as a leading diagonal(more clearly visible on hourly and 3-hour charts), and therefore according to my wave counts the 5th wave should begin now as the wave c of ABC is ending now with an ending diagonal formation.
SUPPORT ZONE 77-78 $

Oil says nothing flattering about the global economyWest Texas Intermediate crude oil hit our price target of $80 and continues to slide lower. At the moment, it trades slightly above $76, which marks a decline of nearly 20% from the highs in late September 2023. Today, we want to talk concisely about two things. First, China’s demand for oil began to slow down again after slightly picking up during the summer, which is reflected in the latest data revealing the rising level of the country’s stockpiles (do not forget, China also experienced a significant drop YoY in exports for October 2023). Second, Saudi Aramco posted 23% lower net income in the third quarter of 2023 versus the same time in 2022. All in all, we presume that does not tell anything flattering about the global economy.

Crude Oil - New Lows - DailyCrude Oil just printing another LOWER-LOW.
78 support line became now a resitance zone , so we can see 73-74 zone , very soon.
Also OPEC anounced that they estimate an increase in barels per day in 2024-2025 , that is a bearish info beacause they already cut the production every month and the price is still in down trend, so with an slower economy also the demand its lower for OIL...so medium term im bearish on it.
WTI CRUDE OIL: Very dangerous 1W MACD Bearish Cross formed.WTI Crude Oil materialized our 78.50 short term target (chart at the bottom) and crossed under the 1D MA200. This is a breach of potentially serious consequences as it also breached the 1W MA50, so we need to monitor the closing on a weekly scale. If it closes under it, the bearish trend is very likely to be extended. The formarion of a MACD Bearish Cross on the 1W timeframe can be very dangerous as the last one that happaned while the price breached the 1W MA50 was on June 13th 2022, the market High after the Russia invasion peak.
If the market does close the week under the 1W MA50, we expect a rebound on the Channel Down bottom near 76.00 and if the candles close under the 1W MA50, fresh short targeting the 1W MA200 (TP = 71.00).

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Massive Breakout Confirmed 🛢️
Crude Oil remains under a strong bearish pressure.
First, the market violated a solid rising trend line on a daily,
Second, a wide horizontal zone of demand.
The broken horizontal and vertical structures compose
and expanding supply zone now.
I will expect a bearish movement from that to 78.6 - the next horizontal support.

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Bearish Movement Continues 🛢️

Crude Oil - KeyLevelsOil, after breaking the support of the trend line, attempted a comeback and retested the former support line that turned into resistance, from where the sellers managed to defend the price and thus it seems that we only had a discount for a new sell.
Now the price is in an interesting neckline and I, personally, am only looking for a short.
Oil, where are you headed?
This week our eyes fall on the crude oil market. From our previous article, Cracking the Crack Spread , we know that crude oil and gasoline hold a special relationship. Since gasoline is extracted from crude oil, the spread between the two futures should not diverge too much. Yet, in the past few weeks, we have observed a deviation in their prices with the Crude Oil/Gasoline ratio peaking.
Futures Fundamentals
Open interest refers to the number of open contracts in the market. It serves as a measure of liquidity, activity and more importantly, interest in the security. While trading volume refers to the number of contracts traded each day.
The decline in both prices and open interests indicates the liquidation of long positions. Together with a low trading volume, this can indicate a bear market.
Economic Outlook
Although the federal reserve (Fed) is likely done with its hikes in this hiking cycle, it intends to keep interest rates higher for longer. Coupled with continued tightness in the labor market, sticky inflation and inflating cost of debt, growth would be dampened.
One way to back up this view is to look at the US Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI). The PMI is widely used as a leading indicator to anticipate changing economic trends. Furthermore, there tends to be a positive association with PMI and commodities year-on-year change. Given the latest PMI value, it points to a negative economic outlook, with year-on-year crude oil prices playing catch up.
It is good to be mindful that if the Fed has indeed concluded its hiking cycle, there is a greater likelihood for the dollar to weaken rather than strengthen. As crude oil is quoted in USD, a weaker dollar would lead to a more expensive contract. Therefore, there are upside risks to crude oil prices.
Supply Factors
US crude oil production reaches record high levels. In conjunction with other non-OPEC countries’ record production, they have been upholding the supply despite facing cuts from OPEC. This could possibly explain why oil prices fell on Oct 4th when OPEC confirmed its cuts until the end of the year.
However, we also see the number of oil rigs in the US on a decline, which may hinder any higher levels of production. Also, there is the debate whether production from non-OPEC countries will be outpaced by OPEC’s cut, leading to the materialization of a supply deficit.
Volatility
Historically, the energy sector is known for its volatility. In comparison to the S&P 500, crude oil appears to be more volatile. In the chart above we look at the maximum year-on-year change in the S&P500 and marked that range on the year-on-year crude oil prices. Here, the wider range that crude oil trades becomes much more obvious compared to the S&P 500. This effect could likely stem from the fact that oil, unlike equities, is affected by a myriad of complex factors at any given time, from supply/demand to geopolitical, environmental and many more.
Gold and crude oil tend to be positively associated. Rising oil prices place upward pressure on inflation leading to precious metals to appreciate as investors flock to “store of value” assets. Other than store of value, gold also acts as a form of safe haven asset, where investors take shelter in gold against uncertainty. With gold now trading significantly higher than oil, it appears that markets are expecting higher levels of fear and uncertainty, which could translate to higher volatility in oil.
So where is oil heading?
Here we find ourselves in a limbo, considering potential breakout risk from geopolitical tensions the downside risk from the likely turnover of the economy, a fading PMI pointing to oil weakness, and overextended oil prices when looking at the spread complex with gasoline. In times like this, when risk could extend on either side, a long straddle options position could allow us to harness profits in the event of a volatile move, in either direction.
To express our view, we can set up long straddle position by buying one at-the-money call and put option that expire in Feb 2024. Given the last price of CLZ3 is 82, we will purchase the two options at the strike price of 81.50. The premiums for the call and put options are 5.39 and 4.89 points respectively. In total, our premium would be 10.28 points.
As a rough gauge of the potential for profitability, it might help to look at the volatility in oil prices. For the selected strike, ignoring the effects of options Greeks, the price on expiration would have to move roughly 12.7% in either direction. In the chart above, the bottom figure shows the rolling 3-month change in oil prices, with the red band marking the 12.7% higher & lower range. Here we see oil continually swinging past this level, highlighting the potential for this strategy to play out.
In this setup, it should also be noted that the maximum loss on the position is the premium paid on the initial setup, which is 10.43 points. The breakeven levels are above 92 or below 71 on option expiration day, as seen in the chart above. Each 0.01 point move in crude oil options is for 10 USD.
CME also has a handy strategy simulator allowing you to construct the option strategy and simulate future prices on your position's P&L. Above are two potential scenarios if the price of crude oil remains close to flat on expiration day, or if it trades lower on expiration day, alongside a diagram showing the effect on the option position's P&L.

🛢️ Crude Oil Hits $93 - 💰 Why 88$ is ok for Saudi Arabia 🌴Hey Traders, Professor here! 🤟 You might recall my bullish call on oil at $70, based on fundamentals and geopolitical moves. Fast forward, and here we are at $93 a barrel. But is this the ceiling, or is there more room to grow? Let's dissect. 🛢️🔍
The Resistance at $93: More Than Just a Number 🛑
Oil has rocketed to $93, and I'm seeing this as a strong resistance point. It's not just a psychological barrier; it's also a key level when you look at Fibonacci retracements and historical price action. Could this be the turning point for a retracement? 🤔 My Oil Long at $70 Post :
Inflation's Role: The Double-Edged Sword 📈
While rising oil prices have been great for traders and certain economies, they also fuel inflation. And let's be clear: Inflation is a beast that the U.S. and Europe can't afford to ignore. High oil prices are now a geopolitical concern, and there will be pressure to tame them, especially as they contribute to rising inflation. 🌍 Inflation and Oil post Post
Saudi Arabia's Profit Game: Low Costs, High Margins 😁
Here's where it gets interesting. Saudi Arabia and Kuwait enjoy production costs as low as $5.40 per barrel. Even at the higher end, it's just around $10. So, whether oil is at $88 or $93, they're raking in massive profits. This low-cost advantage gives them a competitive edge, especially when other countries are grappling with significantly higher production costs. 🇸🇦💰
The High Dollar's Role 🇺🇸
The dollar has been on a tear lately, and it's worth noting its impact on oil prices. A strong dollar usually puts downward pressure on commodities priced in USD, like oil. This could be another factor contributing to potential resistance at $93. The US Dollar & The Wolverine:
What's Next? The Road Ahead 🤷♂️
Keep a close eye on potential retracement levels. Fibonacci and moving averages could be your guide here. 88$ to 93$ range is what i would most likely expect📉
Geopolitical events are always wild cards. Any tensions or agreements could send oil prices soaring or plummeting. 🌍
Don't lose sight of Bitcoin. It remains my go-to asset for hedging against inflation and market volatility. 🚀
Trade wisely, folks. My charts are always here if you need a second opinion. 📊
(ps if the price breaks over 95$ we might need to run for the great reset hills!)
One Love,

CRUDE OIL TO HIT $160?😳 (12H UPDATE)Oil is still accumulating buying momentum within this Wave 2 (Wave II) accumulation phase. We can expect price to carry on consolidating within a range for the next 2 weeks or so, which'll scare off the average, small retail trader. But if you hop onto the daily TF, you'll see overall the market is still bullish📈
