Oil at 7 year highCurrently WTI Crude Oil is trading at almost $81 a barrel, which hasn't been seen since Oct 2014. With oil shortage rising in Europe, mainly in the UK we can see oil prices to continue to rise. With the next targets being $88, after which we should see a minor pullback, before it goes to $98 a barrel (as this is a major key level since 2008 - 2014). I've marked them in red circles. We might even see it go as far as $106 a barrel by the end of this year. As we are approaching the end of the year with major holiday seasons coming up and covid slowing down, we should see an increase in travel by road and flights. This should be a main driving factor for oil to continue rising.
USOILSPOT - ShortThe pair has carved out a five wave decline followed by a three wave rally (which could extend a little further). Whether the two big waves are part of an impulsive wave lower (1-2) or part of a zigzag correction (A-B), another leg lower should follow, targeting the 0.8650 support. This idea is viable as long as we trade below the 94.00 resistance.
Crude Oil Finds Buyers on Dips | WTIWTI crude oil prices remain on the front foot at around $91.45, up 1.30% intraday while consolidating the first weekly loss in nine during Monday’s Asian session.
Although fears among the energy bulls could be spotted as the key catalyst for the black gold’s first weekly loss in multiple weeks, geopolitical noise surrounding Russia and Ukraine joins the OPEC+ supply concerns to keep WTI buyers hopeful. It’s worth noting that the Fed’s rate hike chatters and inflation woes add to the upside filters of the energy prices.
That said, Ukraine and the West continue to suggest an imminent Russian military attack on Ukraine. However, Moscow rejects the claims. Recently, a Reuters’ witness said, “Explosion was heard in the center of the rebel-held city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.” It’s worth noting that a diplomatic meeting between US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov can provide a ray of hope to witness a de-escalation of the geopolitical fears and hence the WTI bulls take a cautious approach ahead of the key meeting outcome.
Elsewhere, the OPEC+, a group of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and allies led by Russia, struggle to match the output hike promises. Recently, OPEC President Bruno Jean-Richard Itoua mentioned that the oil supply is not now enough and blamed oil companies for not investing enough. "OPEC+ should stick to its current agreement to add 400,000 barrels of oil per day each month to output, ministers of Arab oil-producing countries said on Sunday as they gathered in Saudi Arabia, rejecting calls to pump more to ease pressure on prices," said Reuters.
Alternatively, fears of the Fed’s faster rate hikes and inflation woes challenge oil traders at multi-month highs. On the same line is the latest risk-off mood, portrayed by downbeat US Treasury yields and stock futures.
WTI crude oil traders will keep their eyes on the Russia-Ukraine developments for fresh impulse ahead of the key US-Russia meeting late in the week. Should the tension de-escalate, the odds of witnessing a sharp pullback in the oil prices can’t be ruled out.
Technical analysis:
The 21-DMA precedes a monthly support line, respectively around $89.10 and $87.95, to limit WTI pullback. However, firmer RSI and ability to stay beyond key supports, not to forget strong fundamentals, keep oil buyers hopeful to renew 2022 high, currently around $94.00.
- WTI bulls keep reins despite snapping an eight-week uptrend.
- US highlights possibilities of imminent Russian invasion, Moscow rejects claims.
- DXY fails to cheer risk-off mood amid downbeat yields.
- Fedspeak, PBOC rate decision may offer immediate catalysts, PMIs, US PCE Inflation will be crucial.
- It's important to keep in mind that cryptocurrency markets are extremely volatile, making it difficult to accurately predict what a coin’s price will be in a few hours or a few days and even harder to give long-term estimates. As such, analysts and online forecasting sites can get their predictions wrong. We recommend that you always do your own research and consider the latest market trends, news, technical and fundamental analysis, and expert opinion before making any investment decisions. Be patient and look long-term wisely and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

Despite Russia-Ukraine tensions, crude oil is easing offAlthough analysis are calling for $100 oil, it doesn't seem to be so in the near term.
Price actions of recent WTI has seen spike at every time impending war warnings, but eased off after that. It seems that most are already taking profits off the table and moving into Gold.
So we should expect further slide of crude oil.
WTICOUSD 7% correction....WTICOUSD 7% correction........Following a significant rise.
My analysis shows a complex wave structure. In this wave structure several regular wave sequences can be identified, these sequences form fractals. We can speak of fractals when there is a shape and size relationship between the initial wave and the subsequent second wave sequence. A shape relationship means that the original and the following wave sequence are similar, and a size relationship means that there is some well-identifiable mathematical relationship between the two wave sequences. For example, in the main trend, the size of the following wave sequence is double the size of the original wave. At the same time, the size of the original corrective wave sequence is half the size of the next corrective wave sequence. These are the basic conditions for mathematical identity between two wave sequences. Let us return to the WTI. The figure shows two purple squares. Within the squares marked A and B, a fractal identity can be seen. Within these fractals are two terminating wave sequences, which are two terminating correction waves. Both indicate the end of a longer wave sequence. The B wave sequence is a double of the A wave, so here we can say that the B wave sequence is fractally related to the A sequence. Why is this important ? Because it can be seen that these closing fractals are where a significant oil rise starts. In other words, in order for oil to rise significantly there is always a major correction beforehand. Let us return to the current time. You can see in the analysis an orange dotted line. This is a D1 wave axis. Its slope is determined by the rise in D1ATR. It can be seen that the upward wave that is currently forming has been moving along this axis. Wave axes are characterised by the symmetry of the wave sequence with respect to the wave axis. In other words, it develops symmetrical amplitudes above and below the axis. Summarizing the above, my hypothesis is that the WTI is about to correct. Its movement could result in a decline of around 7%. This downward wave sequence will be the fractal formed in the red square marked 2, which is twice the size of the previous sequence marked 1. Thereafter, a significant rise is expected. The size of which may be the same as the size of the previous rise. This is indicated by the green square.
To summarise. I currently expect a correction in the WTI price with a target price 7% lower at 83.39 usd. After that, another rising wave sequence is expected which could take it well above 100 usd. Its target price could be 114 usd.
WTI Crude Oil | Daily Downside PressureHi everyone, It appears that WTI Crude looks ripe for a rotation towards the downside, the price has double topped and showing rejection along the peak of the ascending channel, alongside an indication of further overvaluation on the daily RSI. This is not financial advice just sharing with the community what I have been looking at, have a great day!
US Oil Looking to Get Rekt at The PCZ of a Bearish Alt BatWe have a Bullish 3 Line Strike at the PCZ of a Bearish Alt-Bat on this Bullish ETF for US Crude Oil and are showing Bearish Divergence after taking out the Price-Action of more than 3 of the previous Bullish Days with one Bearish Day this signals to me that the major Bearish reversal is about to begin.
On a side note the MACD has crossed Bearishly.
Short for USOilSince the dramatic drop May 2020, USOil is in the bullish momentum. It has been in this bullish channel and whenever we touch this trendline, we got reaction. I expect further drop upcoming weeks due to agreement of US and Iran as well. However, markets did not react yesterday. I am betting on a short position, i will go for BE if we reach 88usd, also i am looking closely to USDCAD pair as well.
#Oil - Is shorting this market wise?As the oil market continues to rise, there are clear intentions from a number of market analysts to short the Oil market.
Keeping an eye on the current futures expiries for WTI Oil there are strong indications that buyers are easing off, while sellers are coming in strong. While Geopolitical issues could change and of course change the direction of the market, this has not happened.
Let's focus on what we know! there is an overall decrease in the open interest across the market, while the price continues to rise. This is indicating that there is divergence in the interest in this trend, and we should be on high alert that the uptrend is aggressively slowing down.
But, with all this information we still can't change the overall focus that there is a global increase in oil prices and the market has not indicated a turn.
Summary: the current balance area is just below $90, and until we see a new balance area created or a drop below $90 we still need to go with what is obvious.

WTI CRUDE OILFor the fifth week running, WTI Crude Oil made its highest weekly close in 7 years last week and printed a relatively large bullish candlestick which looks healthy, closing very close to the high of its price range. This suggests a further rise to come, with the price perhaps being boosted by fears of war between Russia and Ukraine. There are bullish signs, and I continue to see WTI Crude Oil as an interesting buy.
WTI Crude Oil Forecast: Crude Oil Looking for a PullbackThe West Texas Intermediate Crude Oil market has initially tried to rally during the trading session on Thursday as we have seen a lot of volatility in various markets. That being said, the market has rallied significantly during the course of the trading session, only to turn around and fall towards the $90 level. That being said, we did up forming a bit of a shooting star, and it does suggest that maybe we get a little bit of a pullback.
However, the market has seen a hammer from the previous session, so be interesting to see if we just definitely hang about the $90 level, or if we are going to have a little bit deeper pullback. Quite frankly, I would love to see a little bit more of a pullback, but I do not know that we get it. If we break down below the bottom of the candlestick from the Wednesday session, then I will start looking to pick up this market somewhere around the $86.50 level with an eye on the $85 level underneath being massive support. The 50 day EMA is also reaching higher, and therefore it is likely it will kind of combined to add a massive “floor in the trend.”
If we do turn around a break above the top of the candlestick for the trading session on Thursday, then it could open up a move towards the highs. Either way, I do not have any interest in shorting this market, due to the massive uptrend that we have seen, but quite frankly this is a market that is probably due for some type of correction. This will be especially true if the US dollar starts to spike going forward, which obviously has a small influence on this market.
I think the only thing you can count on at this point is a bit of volatility as we are at a major level, and of course the markets in general are freaking out about the Federal Reserve and the high inflation that we see. If they slam on the brakes by tightening monetary policy, it could drive down demand in the world’s biggest economy, which has a knock on effect in several other economies. Because of this, crude oil will more than likely have to cool off a bit in order to build up momentum to the upside.
Technical analysis update: WTI oil (8th February 2022)Recently, WTI oil reached a new high of 93.14 USD per barrel. Simultaneously, all our price targets were reached. Because of that we decided to update our thoughts on USOIL today. We continue to maintain a bullish stance in the medium-term and long-term. However, in the short-term we foresee headwinds for oil due to many technical indicators pointing to an overbought condition. We expect the price of USOIL to drift lower towards Support 2 at 85.39 USD. Because of that we would like to set a short-term price target for USOIL to 87.50 USD per barrel.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI is bearish as it performed crossover below 70 points. MACD is flattening which suggests that the bullish momentum is decreasing. Stochastic remains in the bullish area, however, it already points to the downside which is bearish. DM+ and DM- show bullish conditions in the market. However, ADX suggests that these conditions are near its peak. Additionally, the price deviated too far from its simple moving averages. Overall, the daily time frame suggests that the price of USOIL is ripe for correction.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI shows divergence with price. Additionally, it performed a crossover below 70 points, similarly like on the daily time frame. These developments are bearish. MACD and Stochastic remain bullish. DM+ and DM- are also bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is mixed.
Illustration 1.01
Illustration above shows the weekly chart of USOIL and its RSI. Divergence between the price and RSI is observable. This phenomenon is bearish.
Support and resistance
Major resistance lies at the recent high of 93.14 USD. Major support sits at 61.76 USD. Support 1 can be found at 87.90 USD and Support 2 at 85.39 USD. Another psychological support below that is at 85 USD.

$WTI Light crude oil short term overbought?Short term we are at the upper end of the the resistance trendline and at the same place where RSI-14 peaked at approximately the 77 reading on the previous two swing highs. From a time cycle perspective of the previous peaks, we have had approximately 70-80 bears between each peak -with the current peak 73 days from the last.
No guarantee this plays out again but if history repeats and rhymes then watch for a short term pullback in the oil price from these levels.
Technical analysis update: WTI oil (19th January 2022)Today WTI oil reached 87.90 USD per barrel which coincides with a new high in price that has not been seen since 2014 and which confirms the continuation of the uptrend. We continue to maintain a bullish outlook on WTI oil in the medium-term and long-term. However, in the short term we are becoming very cautious as some technical indicators reached an overbought condition which suggests that the price of USOIL might be ripe for correction before continuing higher. We will watch the support level at 85.39 USD (previous high from 25th October 2021) and its ability to hold selling pressure in case it occurs. Our long-term price target remains 90 USD per barrel.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
MACD and Stochastic remain bullish. RSI reached overbought territory which suggests that USOIL might retrace lower before continuing higher. DM+ and DM- continue to show bullish conditions. Additionally, ADX increases which suggests that the bullish trend is gaining momentum. Overall, the daily time frame remains bullish while it signals possible correction in price.
Technical analysis - weekly time frame
RSI, MACD and Stochastic are all bullish. DM+ and DM- performed the bullish crossover recently. ADX undergoes reset. Overall, the weekly time frame is bullish.
Support and resistance
Immediate resistance sits at 87.90 USD. Support 1 is at 85.39 USD while Support 2 lies at 80.81 USD. 61.76 USD. Support 3 is then at 78.28 USD while major support is at 61.76 USD.
