USO Oil ShortUSO on the 60 minute chart is currently in a broadening wedge and reflecting down off a
reversal at the upper resistance trend line. The MACD lines have crossed over the histogram
and are trending down showing moving average convergence. Price is between the mean and
first upper band lines and moving down toward the former. Current factors at play include
an OPEC+ meeting, Russia working around sanctions, increased demand of the summer driving
season, federal rate action projections as well as those in Europe and the ongoing conflicts in
the Middle East. I will short USO here targeting 74 at the bottom of the wedge pattern.
Shortoil
USO US Crude OIl ETF trending down SHORTUSO on the weekly chart over the past two and a half years makes a symmetrical triangle
patter with the upper and lower trendlines drawn in. Price appears to be dropping out of
the pattern in a breakdown and she now yet tested the prior support trendline as resistance.
The Stochastic RSI and Zero Lag MACD are confirmatory. The Relative volatility indicator shows
downward volatility exceeding upward for six weeks now. Putin just met with OPEC+ in
Saudi Arabian. It is doubt that the OPEC+ has the fortitude to cut supply to force prices higher.
Dropping the price of oil nicely supports global efforts to stymie inflation for the good of all except
perhaps OPEC+ and Big Oil. I will take a short position in buying put options on USO.
I will strike $ 60 because the puts will be cheaper and I expect the price to drop below that
into a volume void on the profile and not be easily able to get above the volume shelf at
$63 where I will set the stop. I am targeting $35.00 which is comfortably above the volume
profile POC line. I will take an expiration next July during the presidential nominations.
Politicians are also wanting oil prices to drop to keep voters happy. All goepolitical events will
have a bid in the price action of the puts.
TAKE PROFIT REACHED: Sasol Price hit the R184.52 level-now what?Rising Flag formed on Sasol, the price broke below and beautifully it went down on a strong trajectory and declination. The price remained below the 200MA confirming the bear market for the company.
The price came down in a strong fashion takeing it to the first target of R184.52.
The oil price also coincided with the Sasol price having the downtrend dominate taking investors and trader out and shifting to shorts and sells.
The previous trend was down, and it was clear that the downside that came here was a DIstribution phase of the market environment...
SO where to from here?
Well, Down!
There is no indication of upside or slowing down. And when there is I'll let you know.
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.

COP- Divergences suggest bearish reversal.COP has had a brief trend up in the past three and a half trading days of about 8%. An analysis
of the 30 minute chart suggests this could reverse. Firstly, the HA candles are now narrow-
ranged and more or less Dojis. The MTF RSI indicator of Chris Moody shows dropping RSI
on the 5 minute TF while it is hold up at 100 on the 60 minute TF. The former is indicative
of bearish divergence. In a similar fashion the zero lag MACD shows an early cross-over of
the K and D lines over the positive histogram another bearish divergence and sign of impending
reversal of momentum. Based on all of this I will take two put option on COP striking $110
one expiring 7/14 and the other 7/21 targeting stock prices of $105 then $102. I am projecting
profits of 25% on the shorter trade and 75% on the longer trade. I will find the entry on the 5
minute chart looking for a pivot high coupled with a transitioning EMA200 from a positive slope
to zero or negative. Other traders may simply short COP and hold to the lower target.
NRGD a 3X Leveraged ETF that shorts oilNRGD goes up when oil goes down; this ETF tracks the oil futures ; it is leveraged and managed.
Here on the one-hour chart with an Bollinger Bands and EMA bands indicator added, it can be
seen that price had been trending down in two waves beginning June 1st , Upon dropping
outside the BB lower line, price reversed upward to reach the upper BB line and reversed again.
Finally, price dropped outside the BB lower line and reversed this past Thursday. The RSI
oscillator has recently trended between 65 and 40, suggesting healthy price action without
and oversold or overbought conditions. As it is now trending up again. I see it as suitable for a l
long trade. I have plotted horizontal resistance lines in order to plan a tiered exit from a trade
of 4 shares where I will partially close the position by selling a share each time price reaches
one of those lines. At the same time, I will move the stop loss up to midway between its l
location and that line. I will repeat this until all shares are sold. I am expecting a 12% profit
overall for a week-long trade. This will be a free trade without risk after the first move of the
stop loss to above the entry point. If the RSI remains below 80, I may let the last share run
until I am alerted that price has hit the BB upper line by an alert or alternatively set up
a trailing stop loss of 2%.
Oil Back to 60Oil failed to stay above the former range low today. After slamming into 64 a couple of weeks ago there is good chance we start to see some offers firm up around these prices. I would consider 74 premium and 59 discount as imports increase. Points of interest are marked on the chart. A big surprise on inventory numbers today also points to lower prices in the coming week
SHORT OIL USD (WEEKLY TIMEFRAME)
Oil looks in correction phase after reaching the support demand zone at area 64 and currenting heading back up to the downtrend upper channel possibly at area 75.
Oil is still in its downtrend channel and possibly next target, if the support breaks, into next support and demand zone at area 50.
USOIL LOOKING GOOD TO DOWSIDEFrom 2h chart us oil is looking good to at least retest last time low, 81.18. But this time it could be more than 81.18. My personal target is between 100% - 161.8% of fibo expansion (78.69-71.46). Between that range could be the profit target zone. Stop level is somewhere ABOVE 88.
I wish u all have good trade.
Sell The Rally Again For OilFor this week, 15 to 19 Aug 2022 for oil market I still prefer to sell as the daily chart is still indicating bearish trend. Last week whenever price managed to rise above SMA 50 it failed to stay above. Future could is also still bearish. So I defined the selling zone with stop area and the possible target profit zone.
Trade well and wisely.
Confirmation for oil from m30We get confirmation from lower time frame. Yesterday's rally I didn't sell oil.
M30 of oil now is indicating bearish for sell oil. Kijun cross tenkan downward. Future kumo is brarish kumo. Macd bearish. And chikou is currntly running below the kumo.
Pay attention to the 2 tp zones I defined. Trade well and wisely.
WTI Crude Oil: 19.4 - A slide off the edge? A 'rising wedge" pattern is one of the most bearish candlestick patterns out there.
It's when the highs consolidate with the lows in the shape of a sharp triangle going up.
When the support trend-line breaks down - A trend reversal is usually ON!
Meaning that from higher highs and lows the shift is to lower highs and lows and new lower targets are targeted.
Yesterday I've covered how a break below 104.50 can be the beginning of a $10 or more drop down.
105.60 is another important support level to be broken and a blockage on the way down.
Today is a very critical day as it may break this level, the other scenario is that WTI could retest the broken rising wedge at the high 107's low 108's.
Pay close attention to the WTI today, as this could be the beginning of a significant correction down.

WTI Crude Oil - The crossroad you need to know about !18.4 1) The breakout above the down trend-line starting from the highest high , when the price went above 101, marked the beginning of the movement we've seen so far (+$8).
2) There's 2 technical scenario playouts:
*Break above 108.20 with a 4h/1d close - 113.40 to 114.64 may be reached in the very short-term
*Break below 104.50 with a 4h/1d close - 97.90 to 93.20 may be reached in the very short-term
3) The circles on the chart mark the horizontal levels of support/resistance which play a very important role in price action.
4) Converging lows and highs are so far in the shape of a 'rising wedge" which could mean there's a higher potential for reversal down.
5) Fundamentally, oil is currently acting within an 'emotional' investor phase , which means in simple terms, there's no real shortage of oil so far - And reality may hit the price hard at any given time.
OPEC, Aramco, SHELL, USA all have capability to supply the entire world with oil if necessary.

ENSV, Held Way Too Long, OUCHI held this stock way longer than I intended. Remember, if you have an out that you set before you start your trade, stick with it. I would have kept 70 cents more per share if I followed my original plan!
CL1 CRUDE BRENT OIL- IS OIL STILL A GOOD TRADE ?Oil may be in a reversal now or going through corrections as the markets get use to the the Russian Invasion in Ukraine. I don't believe that US and NATO will be successful at imposing oil embargo sanctions on Russia. Therefore I am bearish and will be shorting oil etfs..

UKOIL short position selling from the 80sAs the new year begins, the markets are a little quiet but in the oil , markets seem a little confusing, Based on OPEC-JMMC Meetings we made our view on the oil market.
"That's one way of looking at it OPEC plus seems confident that despite omicron spreading rapidly around the world and with cases rising it's not going to have that much of an impact on oil demand the group is expecting the oil market to be in a supply surplus in the first and second quarters"
While the U.S airlines have canceled and delayed thousands of flights since 23 December 2021, The energy sector will depend on storage more than consumption in the coming period.
OPEC plus is probably not almost certainly not going to actually add 400 000 barrels a day to the market because of supply problems incertain members in the oil club.
I see OPEC crude oil production increasing since Jul 2020 :
24.82M bbl /d on Jul 2020
to be 28.87M bbl /d in Aug 2021
Making the oil production increase +16.31% in one year.
The technical view
you will see 83.00 -82.00 area as a supply area on the chart,
also, 86.50 - 85.00 area is a strong historical supply area.
The Market tend to sell from these areas, we may see some increase in the price shortly
but in the volume indicator the average volume is in decline
For the position
I recommend a sell order from 83.00 -81.50 area
Sell limit on 84.5- 86.5 in case the market still growing before retrograding
Targets
1st target 77. 40 - 77.00 demand area
2nd target 68.40- 69.10 demand area
The period of the Positon is more than 1 month up to 5 months (estimated )
This is a swing trade so be patient we estimate +16% to +20% profit for 5 months

Oil Topping for nowPrice has flipped many times in the past at this price.
Price is extended to the upside.
Momentum has been diverging for the last 8 months.
OPEC+ has reaffirmed their stance to increase production.
Saudi Arabia and other countries production hasn't even been turned back on yet so they can increase it even more if need be.
Global demand and consumer demand is actually falling, this can be seen by China's economy contracting so prevalently.
It's still winter and a correction is warranted.
Maybe by May or so, we go back up again and could go to crazy heights if things don't get better with inflation.
