Hellena | Oil (4H): Long to resistance area of 87.47.Dear Colleagues, at the moment the price has made a strong downward movement. I suppose that the price is in wave "4" and can continue its movement to the support area of 80.22, but I consider only long positions, because the price can make a reversal at once. I recommend to work with pending orders.
The nearest target is the resistance area at 87.47.
Manage your capital correctly and competently! Only enter trades based on reliable patterns!
WTI Crude Oil: Analyzing Rebound PatternsThe WTI (West Texas Intermediate) crude oil market has shown resilience, staging a recovery subsequent to a pullback retracing between the key Fibonacci levels of 50% to 61.8% from the preceding major swing. Notably, the current price action exhibits a divergence pattern, notably intersecting with the levels of prior support. Moreover, a discernible confirmation pattern emerged following a retest of this support, serving as a pivotal factor in our decision to initiate a trade. Furthermore, it's noteworthy that the current price trajectory remains positioned above the 200-period Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP), reinforcing our conviction in the potential for a sustained bullish impulse to unfold.
WTI Oil H4 | Falling to 61.8% Fibonacci supportWTI oil (USOIL) is falling towards a pullback support and could potentially bounce off this level to climb higher.
Buy entry is at 81.04 which is a pullback support that aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.
Stop loss is at 80.00 which is a level that lies underneath a pullback support.
Take profit is at 84.47 which is an overlap resistance.

Options Blueprint Series: Credit Spreads for Weekly PlaysIntroduction
Credit spreads are a sophisticated options strategy involving the simultaneous purchase and sale of options of the same class and expiration, but at different strike prices. This approach is particularly effective in scenarios where the trader seeks to capitalize on premium decay while maintaining controlled risk exposure. Commonly used in volatile markets, credit spreads can offer a strategic advantage by allowing traders to position themselves in accordance with their market outlook and risk tolerance.
Understanding Credit Spreads
Selling one option and buying another with the same expiration date but different strike prices is done to earn the premium (credit) received from selling the higher-priced option, offset by the cost of buying the lower-priced option. There are two main types of credit spreads: Call Spreads and Put Spreads, specifically Bull Put Spreads and Bear Call Spreads.
Bull Put Spreads: This strategy involves selling a put option with a higher strike price (receiving a premium) and buying a put option with a lower strike price (paying a premium), both on the same underlying asset and expiration. The trader anticipates that the asset's price will stay above the higher strike price at expiration, allowing them to keep the premium collected. This spread is termed "bull" because it profits from a bullish or upward-moving market.
Bear Call Spreads: Conversely, this strategy involves selling a call option with a lower strike price (receiving a premium) and buying a call option with a higher strike price (paying a premium). The expectation here is that the asset's price will remain below the lower strike price at expiration. This spread is called "bear" because it benefits from a bearish or downward-moving market.
Easy Way to Remember:
Bull Put Spread: Remember it as "selling insurance" on a stock you wouldn't mind owning. You're betting the stock price stays "bullish" or at least doesn't drop significantly.
Bear Call Spread: Think of it as "calling the top" on a stock. You're predicting that the stock won't go any higher, demonstrating a "bearish" outlook.
Risk Profile
The below graph illustrates the risk profile of a Bull Put Spread (Bullish Credit Spread that uses Puts):
WTI Crude Oil Options Contract Specifications
WTI Crude Oil options offer traders the opportunity to manage price risks in the highly volatile crude oil market. Key contract specifications include:
Point Value: Each contract represents 1,000 barrels of crude oil, with each point of movement equivalent to $1,000.
Trading Hours: Options trading is available from Sunday to Friday, providing extensive access to market participants around the globe.
Margin Requirements: Initial margins are set by the exchange and are adjusted according to market volatility. USD 6,281 at the time of this publication (based on the CME Group website).
Credit Spread Margin Calculation: For credit spreads, margins are typically lower as the margin for a credit spread in WTIC Crude Oil options is calculated based on the risk of the position, which is the difference between the strike prices minus the net credit received. This calculation ensures that the trader has sufficient funds to cover the potential maximum loss. (for example: a spread using the 78.5 and the 77.5 strikes which are 1 point away would require USD 1,000 minus the credit received).
Understanding these specifications is crucial for traders looking to employ credit spreads effectively, ensuring compliance with financial requirements and alignment with trading strategies.
Application to WTIC Crude Oil Options
Credit spreads are particularly suited to the Weekly Expiration WTIC Crude Oil Options due to their ability to capitalize on the oil market's frequent price fluctuations. The strategy's effectiveness is enhanced by the oil market's characteristics:
Market Dynamics: Crude oil prices are influenced by a myriad of factors including geopolitical events, supply-demand dynamics, and changes in global economic indicators. These factors can lead to significant price movements, creating opportunities for options traders.
Strategy Suitability: Given the volatile nature of crude oil, credit spreads allow traders to take a directional stance (bullish or bearish) while limiting risk to the difference between the strike prices minus the credit received. This is particularly advantageous in a market where sudden price swings can occur, as it provides a safety buffer in case WTI Crude Oil moves against the trader and then comes to back towards the desired direction.
By employing credit spreads, traders can leverage such market characteristics to potentially enhance returns while maintaining a clear risk management framework.
Forward-looking Trade Idea
For above TradingView price chart presents a trade setup as we consider the current market conditions and employ a put credit spread strategy, focusing on two UFO (UnFilled Orders) Support Price Levels that indicate potential support below the current market price of WTIC Crude Oil Futures. These levels suggest that prices are unlikely to drop below these thresholds anytime soon.
Trade Setup: Utilize the 78.5 and 77.5 put strike prices for the credit spread.
Sell a put option at the 78.5 strike price, where we expect the market will not fall below and collect 0.13 points (USD 130).
Buy a put option at the 77.5 strike price to limit downside risk and define the trade’s maximum loss and pay 0.07 points (USD 70).
Premium Collected: The credit received from this spread is the difference in premiums between the sold and bought puts, which contributes to the overall profitability if the options expire worthless. The net credit collected is USD 60 (130-70).
Expected Outcome: The best scenario is for WTIC Crude Oil prices to stay above the 78.5 strike at expiration, allowing the trader to retain the full premium collected while minimizing risk.
As seen on the above screenshot, we are using the CME Options Calculator in order to generate fair value prices and Greeks for any options on futures contracts.
This trade is predicated on the belief that the underlying crude oil price will remain stable or increase, ensuring that the prices do not fall to the strike price of the sold put, thereby maximizing the potential for profit from the premiums.
Risk Management
Effective risk management is crucial when employing credit spreads in trading. Given the defined risk nature of credit spreads, several strategies can be implemented:
Position Sizing: Adjust the number of spreads to fit within the overall risk tolerance of the trading portfolio, ensuring that potential losses do not exceed pre-determined thresholds.
Stop-Loss Orders: Although credit spreads have a built-in maximum loss, setting stop-loss orders based on market price can help lock in profits or prevent excessive losses in volatile market conditions.
Monitoring: Regular monitoring of market conditions and adjusting positions as necessary can help manage risks associated with unexpected market movements.
Conclusion
Credit spreads offer a strategic advantage for options traders looking to leverage market movements while controlling risk. By focusing on premium collection and employing a disciplined approach to risk management, traders can enhance their chances of success in the volatile WTIC Crude Oil options market.

WTI looks set to bounce above $80Oil prices have retraced just under 8% from the MTD (month-to-date) high. And it looks like the market is trying to stabilise around a support cluster, just above the $80 handle. The cluster includes the 50-day MA, high-volume node and prior consolidation zone.
A small doji also firmed around these levels to suggest a swing high has formed, or very near.
A bounce to $84 could be on the cards as part of a technical retracement against its prior move lower. Bulls could enter live around current levels with a stop beneath $80, or seek dips towards it in anticipation of an eventual move higher to increase the potential reward to risk ratio.
US Oil By HesamUNT ( New update )hey traders

Oil Downside Risk on Easing Geopolitical FearsThe Middle East hostilities have so far not created any substantial impact on oil traffic and USOil (WTI) faces pressure, as fears of a broader Israel-Iran conflict subside. Israel has reportedly retaliated for Tehran’s recent missile and drone strikes, but both sides appear to downplay the matter, diminishing the risk for further escalation. Looking at the broader fundamentals, demand is likely to decelerate this year, while non-OPEC production is expected to cover the OPEC+ supply curbs.
USOil closed Monday below its EMA200 (black line), which pauses the recent bullish momentum and creates scope for deeper pullback towards the critical confluence of support, provided by the daily Ichimoku Cloud and the ascending trend line from the December lows. Further losses below it have a higher degree of difficulty though.
On the other hand, Middle East concerns are unlikely to go away and any escalation prospects can push prices higher again. USOil already finds reprieve today and tries to reclaim the EMA200. This would reinstate the upside bias and allow it to push for new 2024 highs (87.66), but those of the previous year (95.05) look distant.

Why I Expect 200 Dollar USOIL Wti CrudeUsing momentum indicators (keltner channel) I've been watching this weekly rally and recent correction. Using the close, and the last wave, oil price could climb to astronomical levels in USD. There is a momentum shift of the correction, and the bull market for oil appears to be underway. At this pace, 200 by june is not far fetched. I expect the Dollar to lose significant strength, and costly measures enforced as an abysmal attempt to stifle inflation. Soon interest payments will become the largest expense if it hasn't already. There is much reason to worry about world markets right about now.
Larger Pattern Breakout
and here is the shift up close on the weekly:
This is not financial advice.
Global analysis of crude oil trade
Crude oil prices fell as markets trimmed geopolitical risk premiums on concerns about escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, ANZ Bank said in a note on Thursday.
Crude oil prices plummeted to the 82.5 line in the early morning. For Thursday's white market, the market's intuitive performance is short. Intraday rebound resistance can focus on 83.2-83.7-84.2. In terms of support, focus on the hourly upper and lower rails of 81.7, the 4-hour MA60 moving average supports the 80.8 line, and further focus on the 80 mark below as a defensive support point. Overall, crude oil prices are under pressure and have fallen below the Bollinger Band, with a downward breakthrough more likely.
It is recommended to go short on rallies
Strifor || SILVER-18/04/2024Preferred direction: BUY
Comment: Previous trade ideas for silver , where we considered selling, have been cancelled. Today, another strengthening of metals is expected. The buyers' target will, of course, be the local maximum at level 30 . It is best to set the target slightly below this level.
As you can see in the chart, we have formed a clear contracting triangle, and volatility has died down. This is a clear sign of an upcoming impulse, which, as we suppose, will be upward. We are considering two scenarios. Scenario №1 is more likely since further weakening of the US dollar (on major currency pairs), which began in the middle of this week, is expected and this should soon also be reflected in metals.
Additional comments on this trade will be provided as situation changes. Follow us!
Thank you for like and share your views!
Strifor || BRENT-18/04/2024Preferred direction: SELL
Comment: An excellent situation has formed for oil in the short term. After the price falls below level 89 , the continuation of the downward trend towards level 85 is considered, where we set a target for this trading idea. Buyers are trying in vain to buy off the “bottom” of the market, but today the limit buyer dominates the market and pushes the price down.
We are considering two scenarios, where scenario №1 is more likely, but in no case do we forget about scenario №2 , in which there will be a preliminary liquidation of “extra passengers”, and this will also allow us to attract new buyers as “fuel” for the trip down. One can also consider targets below level 85 .
Additional comments on this trade will be provided as situation changes. Follow us!
