WTI POSSIBLE RALLYOil prices rebounded after experiencing losses last week, primarily due to expectations of a tight supply situation for the rest of the year. This rebound was driven by key factors, including the commitment of major oil producers Saudi Arabia and Russia to maintaining production cuts until the end of the year. The decrease in the U.S. oil rig count also played a role, as it indicated a lack of response from U.S. producers to the current price environment, giving confidence to Saudi Arabia to continue withholding supply from the market. Additionally, concerns about potential supply disruptions in the Middle East related to the Israel-Hamas conflict subsided, contributing to the market's rebound.
The oil market is now closely focused on economic data from China, particularly trade and inflation figures, to gauge commodity demand in the country. While China's oil imports and fuel demand have remained robust, rising stockpiles could lead to a drop in oil imports in the coming months, especially if economic conditions deteriorate. Meanwhile, the overall health of the U.S. economy, another major consumer of oil, remains a factor influencing oil demand, with expectations of weakening demand during the winter season. Additionally, a weaker U.S. dollar is currently providing some support to oil prices, but it may also reflect concerns about a cooling U.S. economy, which could impact oil consumption.
If the trend continues the price might reach levels of 90.51, in the opposite scenario the price might drop to 80.49.

🛢️ 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!)

OIL - Bearish move comingCrude oil prices went up on Friday due to Israel's expansion of ground operations in Gaza. This has raised concerns about the possibility of the conflict spreading in a region responsible for a third of the world's oil production.
Turning our attention to China, we're eagerly awaiting the release of manufacturing and services PMI data for October. Investors are looking for signs that the world's top importer of crude oil, China, is stabilising economically. Market participants are especially interested in assessing whether Beijing's supportive measures have boosted oil demand.
The US Dollar (USD) is facing resistance as market expectations lean towards the likelihood of the US Federal Reserve (Fed) keeping interest rates at 5.5% in the upcoming Wednesday meeting. However, the US Dollar Index (DXY) is showing positive movement after a lukewarm performance during the Asian session, currently hovering around 106.70.
The 10-year US Bond is making a comeback, reaching 4.85% at the moment, which is providing support for the US Dollar. In addition, investors will keep a close eye on key indicators such as the US ADP Employment Change and the ISM Manufacturing PMI for October.
Investors are approaching the upcoming US Federal Reserve policy meeting and China's manufacturing data with caution, which is leading to a drop in crude oil prices. This cautious stance is overshadowing the support that was previously provided by tensions in the Middle East.
Overall, we are bearish but we are anticipating an up move to $88 price before seeing a drop down to $82, from there another potential drop to the $79 prize zone could happen*!? But right now we will be focusing on that up move to $88 and looking to short it from that level, please see chart above for details!
*Potential further drop to $79 price zone (as mentioned above)
WTI CRUDE OIL Trade it based on today's candle closing.WTI Crude Oil is breaching at the moment the Rising Support of the last 3 months.
The (1d) candle closing will determine in our opinion the short term direction, as on this level the momentum is neutral, with a Falling Resistance above and numerous Support levels to target if broken.
Trading Plan:
1. Buy if the (1d) candle closes over the Rising Support.
2. Sell if it closes under it and breaches Support (1).
Targets:
1. 87.50 (Falling Resistance).
2. 79.00 (a little over the MA200 (1d)).
Tips:
1. The sentiment could be a little more favorable to selling at the moment as the MACD (1d) just made a rare shift, invalidating the bullish build up as it switched from a Bullish Cross immediately to a Bearish Cross.

Past trading plan:
The U.S. reveals a trick up its sleeveA few weeks ago, we expressed our bewilderment at the U.S. administration and its handling of the oil stockpiles. Despite oil plummeting below $70 during the summer, officials did not take the initiative to refill the Strategic Petroleum Reserves (also canceling plans to buy oil in July 2023), prompting us to speculate about what trick the administration could have up its sleeve. Finally, last week, we might have discovered exactly what it was when news erupted that the United States lifted some of the sanctions on Venezuela, allowing it to produce and export oil to its chosen markets for the next six months without limitation.
While Venezuela’s oil production is only about 800,000 barrels per day, the news announcement is still quite a big thing as it will enable U.S. entities to buy crude oil and help alleviate rising crude oil prices (especially if the country ramps up production in the coming months and the global economy continues to slow down - presuming no broad conflict will affect oil supply in the Middle East).
Now, on the topic of technicals, we are paying close attention to the Sloping Support/Resistance. If the price breaks back above the resistance (and holds the ground), it will be bullish. However, a failure will raise our skepticism about more upside. In addition to that, we are watching MACD, RSI, and Stochastic on the daily chart. To support a bearish case, we would want to see all of them continue declining. Contrarily, to support a bullish case, we would like to see MACD reversing and breaking above the midpoint.

OIL MIGHT BE GETTING INTO FURTHER SELL-OFFOil prices have continued to decline, marking the third consecutive session of losses. This decline is attributed to a series of sluggish economic data releases from Germany, the eurozone, and Britain, which have raised concerns about energy demand. Brent crude futures dropped by 2%, down $1.76 to $88.07 per barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell by 2.2%, down $1.91 to $83.58 per barrel.
The eurozone's business activity data showed an unexpected downturn this month, raising fears of a potential recession in the region. Germany, one of Europe's economic powerhouses, appeared to be slipping into a recession, and Britain reported another monthly decline in economic activity, increasing concerns of a recession ahead of the Bank of England's interest rate decision. These economic uncertainties, along with other global factors, have contributed to the downward pressure on oil prices.
Despite the economic concerns in Europe, the U.S. recorded an uptick in business output in October, which helped boost the U.S. dollar, making dollar-denominated oil more expensive for holders of other currencies. Additionally, concerns surrounding the situation in the Middle East, where diplomatic efforts are underway to contain the Israel-Hamas conflict, have also impacted oil prices. Overall, the oil market remains on edge, with a focus on potential supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions.
If this trend continues, the price might reach levels of 81.53. In the opposite scenario, as a pivot point might be considered 86.38, from where the price might reach levels of 89.32.

WTI CRUDE OIL Buy on this Falling Support. Sell below.WTI Crude Oil hit the Falling Support, the 3rd time making contact with and turns into a short term buy. Target 89.75 (Resistance A at 89.80).
The medium term pattern is a Channel Up so id the Falling Support fails, take the small loss and wait for the bottom of the Channel Up to breaks. Sell and target 79.00 (1week MA50).
A bearish reversal is quite probable at the moment since the 4hour MACD is on a strong Bearish Cross.

A new conflicts roils the oil marketOver the weekend, a new conflict broke out in the Middle East after Hamas, a designated terrorist organization, initiated an assault on Israel. This attack is already roiling the oil market, which saw oil prices rise more than 5% after the futures market opened. However, it is possible the impact has not been fully felt yet, considering the potential for further escalation amid Iran’s involvement in the preparations for the attack. Such developments could lead to broader conflict in the region responsible for producing one-third of global supply. That, in turn, could send the oil price much higher from the current levels (likely toward $100 and potentially even higher). As a result, we are closely monitoring the situation and will update our thoughts with the emergence of new events.

WTI CRUDE OIL Important bearish breakout. Short the spike.WTI Crude Oil crossed under the 1D MA50 (and the Channel Up) for the first time since July 6th turning the 1D technical outlook bearish (RSI = 35.225, MACD = -0.060, ADX = 34.325). The short term timeframes are oversold so expect a minor spike to the 1D MA50 or near the 4H MA50. We will use that as our new sell entry and target the strong support zone consisting of the S1 level, the 1W MA50 and 1D MA200 (TP = 78.50).

Oil to bounce to test $94I think oil will now bounce to test $94. I'm short term bullish; medium term bearish.
Oil took a hard dive "low liquidity run" through the previous swing-low which was taken out.
The next swing-low is $77-ish.
But we are hitting 20 week MA and prior old highs at the same time. Thus the slow stochastic weekly losing embedded (was above 80 now falling below 80) means a run to the 20week MA was likely.
The next few days will show whether or not this confluence of old highs and 20week is strong enough to arrest oil's fall towad the liquidity pool (swing low) of $77.
My trade has been to open longs using credit-puts below that $77 level where there should be much stronger resistance than the confluence already mentioned.
Counter thesis is that the price cheese-knife's toward the $77 liq pool which could accelerate a sell-off.
20 Week is the "hold the line" for the trade.
Hellena | Oil (4H): Long to resistance area 92.57.Dear Colleagues, the price is in the area of long positions set. Renewal of the minimum is possible. Be careful! The nearest target is the resistance area, the maximum of wave 3 - 92.57.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Short to 50% Fibo lvl (91.50).Dear Colleagues, I believe that wave 5 is not completed yet, but the price should make a correction to continue. Perhaps the price will reach the area of 50% Fibonacci level 91.50, after which I will consider long positions again.

Hellena | Oil (4H): Short to support area 88.00 (Wave 4).Dear Colleagues. After last week I had to completely revise the Elliott Wave markup. Most likely, the upward movement is not yet complete. I expect a corrective wave 4 to the support area of 88.00, followed by an impulsive wave 5, which will reach at least the nearest upper level of 92.00.
