OILU an ETF for OIL - Leveraged and LongOILU is a risky high volatility ETF on oil exploration and production. Where there are risk
and volatility there can also be plentiful profits. On the 4H chart,OILU can be seen breaking
up through long-term anchored VWAP bands in a trend that began in mid-May. Price is
now approaching the mean VWAP lines. The POC line validates those VWAP lines coming in
at nearly an identical price level. On the MACD, negative amplitudes have gradually decreased
in a fashion consistent with bullish divergence. The RSI indicator shows the MTF RSIs to be
in mid-range suitable for taking an entry without evidence of oversold or overbought
parameters. Fundamentally, a variety of factors including
OPEC the re-emergence of the Chinese economy, Russia's war fear of a recession causing a
decrease in demand for oil all have contributed to a mixed picture. The chart is suggesting
a long trade to me and so I will take up the suggestion. I will set a stop loss at the recent
pivot low of $32 while targeting the highest VWAP band at $47. I will raise the stop loss
to break-even when price hits $38 while respecting the ATR and volatility. I see this as
a safe trade with a potential upside of about 33%

Downside Tuesday, closing below 72.83 signals 69.25 within several days, possibly allowing another test of 67.08 by the end of next week, able to contain selling on a weekly basis and above which 77.41 is attainable over the next 3 - 5 weeks.

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%.
$CL1! algo software gave a sell signalNYMEX:CL1! our algo software gave me a sell signal on april 26 and the red dotted lines are resistance. You se how june 5 resistance was pierced but not closed above, that means the down trend continues but barely. If it breaks and closes above resistance it may end the downtrend and a new uptrend will be begin.
Crude Oil Ka-BoingNice long tail on the weekly chart, after a lower low. Technical indicators MACD and VolDiv appear bearish but this is suspiciously like a hidden dragon.
Taken altogether, the first resistance is 76, and once close above 80 is firmed bullish. The lower low suggests more downside, but the length of that tail is telling a very bullish story for the next couple of weeks.
So... expecting a consolidation range fighting between bears and bulls between 70-80; while leaning towards a bullish breakout much later... perhaps (ideally) after higher low.
Do note that in alignment to the earlier post about the USD dropping, it does look like Crude now has a better chance of turning around to reinstate its bullish efforts.
CRUDE to bounce a bit, if at all, else dive hardBased on Crude's weekly chart, it clearly lost the bullish plot (posted 1st May, see linked post). As of the current Crude futures price action, a few preliminary observations can be recorded...
1. A lower low is recorded, and this aligns with the weekly technical outlook of a more bearish close to the weeks ahead;
2. Yesterday closing at 68.52 broke down all prior marked supports, except for the TDST at 66.12.
Note that a close below and 3 days of closing below 66.12 changes Crude into a bearish primary trend. So, expect a lot of dancing about (or bounces off) this area, until that happens.
3. Today closing is important... IF closing at current levels, then a bounce to 74-76 can be expected, due to the long shadow/tail (green ellipse). Otherwise, a breakdown below the TDST support level turns all bearish.
4. Technically, it appears to favour further downside once market hours open. MACD and VolDiv on the daily are aligned to weekly indication of more downside momentum, having already crossed into bear territory.
Watch the USD... it has a lot to do with the magnitude, although other fundamentals will affect Crude directly. Mindful that tomorrow is the Non-farm Payrolls.
