Crude Oil WTI
WTI OIL Bullish Divergence aiming higher.WTI Oil (USOIL) has been consolidating within the 1D MA200 (orange trend-line) and the 1W MA200 (red trend-line) for a full month. We have previously seen the same king of consolidation in mid-2023 and then November 2023 - January 2024. On both occasions, the price then entered a medium-term Channel Up.
Also on all occasions, the 1D RSI was on Higher Lows, while the price has been on Lower Lows, which is an indication of a Bullish Divergence. It is the exact same formation that Oil is currently on. As a result, we turn bullish on Crude for the medium-term, targeting $84.00 (just above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level and on the Lower Highs trend-line).

USOIL: Short-term oil prices are on the way to recovering to $80USOIL: Short-time period oil fees are at the manner to convalescing to BSE:EIGHTY because the marketplace is presently watching for the subsequent OPEC+ meeting. However, the chance of a lower is fantastically excessive due to the fact OPEC+ nations have nearly all showed the growth in production. This will probably reason oil fees to drop even lower. Consider ready to promote with USOIL around BSE:EIGHTY with the anticipated goal to go back to $75-76
Event-Driven Strategy using WTI Weekly OptionsNYMEX: WTI Futures ( NYMEX:CL1! ) and WTI Weekly Options ( GETTEX:LO5 )
OPEC+, the coalition of the world’s leading oil producers, will convene on June 2nd to decide production policy for the second half of the year. The powerful oil cartel consists of 13 OPEC members and 9 nonmember participants, and together produces about 59% of global oil production. This amounted to 48 million barrels per day (mn b/d) in 2022, estimated by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Many analysts expect OPEC+ to continue the voluntary cut of 2.2 mn b/d, due to expire at the end of June. This voluntary cut, introduced in November 2023, adds to 3.6 mn b/d of production cut that have reduced the members’ crude output by about 5.8 mn b/d, or about 5% of global supply, since November 2022. I consider the move an attempt to shore up prices against higher US oil production and an uncertain economic outlook in China.
OPEC+ meeting is a significant event in the global crude oil market. We could liken its importance to that of the Federal Reserve meetings for equities and bonds. The group’s decision could tilt the balance of supply and demand one way or the other.
Here are three possible outcomes:
• No change: To renew existing cuts of 2.2 mn b/d through the end of the year.
• Additional cuts. This would reduce global crude oil supply.
• Ease of cuts. This would release more oil to the global market.
The oil market may stay calm if the OPEC+ decision conforms to investor expectations of no change. A surprise announcement of additional cuts would likely send oil prices skyrocketing. But any pullback from current cuts could sink oil prices down.
This provides a good setting for event-driven trading strategies.
Monitoring Crude Oil Market Sentiment Real Time
For a trading strategy to work, the trader needs to understand the market sentiment ahead of the actual event. While analysts give out opinions, it is the investors who put money in their mouth. Therefore, for unbiased decision making, we should look into trading data.
The CME Group OPEC Watch Tool is a great analytical tool for crude oil traders. It uses NYMEX WTI crude oil option prices to calculate the probabilities of certain outcomes from the nearest weekly and monthly options that expire around the OPEC meeting. In essence, it uses actual trading data, and go the extra mile to transform it into useful insights. This valuable tool is free and can be accessed via CME Group website.
The title chart includes a snapshot of CME Group OPEC Watch Tool. As of May 26th:
• OPEC Watch Tool expects a 79.1% probability of no change;
• There is a 18.8% probability of ease of cuts:
• Additional cuts remain a remote probability, at 2.2%.
I would like to point out that the market often exhibits overly pessimistic or overly optimistic sentiment. OPEC Watch Tool shows the collective wisdom of crude oil options traders. However, the trades are not scientific forecast. Market sentiment could change very rapidly. With this in mind, we need to closely monitor it with real-time trading data.
If, through independent analysis, a trader establishes an opinion very different to what the market suggested, he or she may express it with a trade position and wait for the market to correct its faulty assumptions.
Trading with NYMEX WTI Weekly Options
We could consolidate the three possible OPEC+ decisions into two:
• Within Expectation. No changes.
• Exceeding Expectation. More cuts or less cuts.
Investors expect OPEC+ to maintain its current cuts. If that turns out to be the case, oil prices may not move much following the announcement.
If a trader hosts this view, how could he or she turn it into a trade strategy? The trader could consider selling short-dated out-of-the-money (OTM) WTI crude oil options.
The July WTI futures contract ($CLN4) settled at $77.80 a barrel last Friday. Selling OTC strikes on WTI weekly options would enable the trader to collect an upfront premium. The first Friday after the OPEC+ announcement is June 7th. The weekly options ($LO1M4) will last only 12 days before its expiration.
How do we select options strikes to sell? There are really no rules of thumbs. For illustration purposes, let us pick an OTC call strike approximately $5 above current market price, and a put strike about $5 below.
• Last Friday, the 82.75 call strike settled at 17 cents. Each WTI weekly option contract has a notional value of 1,000 barrels. Therefore, the trader would collect $170 premium for selling 1 call.
• The $72.75 put strike settled at 29 cents. The trader would get $290 for selling 1 put.
• If the trader sells 1 call and 1 put, he or she could collect $460 for just 12 days.
Words of warning for options sellers:
• CME Group requires options sellers to deposit $6,001 margin for each July contract as the time of writing. Therefore, this strategy requires an investment of $12,002 for both call and put.
• If OPEC+ acts as expected and the oil market stays calm, the trader would get the margin deposit back when the options expire worthless.
• However, if oil prices move up above the call strike, the trader could incur a loss, potentially wiping out all the margin deposit, and probably more.
• If oil prices drop below the put strike, the trader would also experience a loss.
If the trader holds an opposite view, he or she could buy the OTC call or put options, depending on which direction the trader is leaning towards. For a small upfront premium, the trader could establish a position on crude oil, and potentially collect a big payout if OPEC+ changes heart.
For those who are uncertain of which way OPEC+ would go, but are convinced that they would change courses, traders could buy both OTC calls and OTC puts at the same time. This is an example of options strangle strategy.
Happy Trading.

OIL: DAY 3 SHORTS in the marketHi everyone and welcome to my channel, please don’t forget to support all my work subscribing and liking my post, and for any question leave me a comment, I will be more than happy to help you!
“Trade setups, not movements”
Let’s jump into the Technical Analysis:
WEEKLY TEMPLATE (1hr chart):
Since the previous week, we can see how this market potentially could complete the big template of pump and dump, scenario still possible if setup correctly.
OIL market triggered shorts breakout traders in, typical a signal of potential strong move.
DAILY TEMPLATE (15min chart):
Asia session broke down into the LOW, reversing sharply in London session (pump). Currently this market is not in an interesting level to buy or sell.
THESIS :
Short: considering the weekly pump and dump not completed yet, I can see this market going lower, stopping all the traders long since the last week.
Long: however, day 3 shorts in the market, in the new weekly cycle, can be a good reversal signal, going to stop traders short from Monday.
SETUP :
Short: price pumping up back to the previous HOD, consolidating for 30/45 min and dump (after the news release)
Long: Market dropping down at least into the previous CP, or LOD/LOW, consolidating for a pump (this scenario is mostly likely happing on tomorrow, which is closing range of the week)
Please note that the purpose of my analysis is to help me and you hunting the best trade setup for the day, none of my technical aspects are a way to forecast any directional market movement.

CRUDE OIL (CLN2024, USOIL, WTI)... BEARISH!Bias is Bullish.
Daily TF shows 2 weeks of
consolidation supported by a Daily
+FVG. Friday finally saw a "BO" as price
traded through the swing high with
a close above it. Note that price is
now inside the a Daily -FVG.
Potential for a bearish reaction? Yes.
However, I believe it will be short term
if anything.
The 4H gives more detail.
One can see bullish structure in
place that will support a move higher,
potentially to to test 80.21.

USOIL: Oil prices have turned downUSOIL: Oil fees have became down. In the fast time period, there are symptoms and symptoms of breaking the preceding growing channel. Besides, the fast-time period accumulation region around $77 -seventy nine is likewise displaying a main weak point withinside the context that OPEC+ has finished its discount goal and is making plans to boom production. In the fast-time period destiny scenario, it's far in all likelihood that OIL will drop to deeper charge levels. You can watch to promote with short-time period expectancies of around $75/1 barrel.
USOIL Will Go Lower From Resistance! Sell!
Here is our detailed technical review for USOIL.
Time Frame: 9h
Current Trend: Bearish
Sentiment: Overbought (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bearish
The market is on a crucial zone of supply 79.46.
The above-mentioned technicals clearly indicate the dominance of sellers on the market. I recommend shorting the instrument, aiming at 77.06 level.

NRGU and USO/SPY correlatesIntermarket analysis of Oil ETF relative to SPX. This graph works because oil moves based on inflation, economy, commodities etc. Some of these spots were almost "risk free" (until proven otherwise). Meaning 100% - until something changes.
Where are we now? USO needs to find support - and then we see.
