Oil - Short Term Sell Trade Update!!!Hi Traders, on April 17th I shared this idea "Oil - Looking To Sell Pullbacks In The Short Term"
I expected to see bearish continuation until the two Fibonacci resistance zones hold. You can read the full post using the link above.
The price is currently holding in the first Fibonacci resistance zone.
Until both the Fibonacci resistance zones hold my bearish view still remains.

WTI rises above $57.50, continues recovery despite concerns overWest Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude Oil price continues to recover during Asian trading on Tuesday, hovering around $57.60 per barrel after a nearly 2% decline on Monday. However, gains were capped by concerns over rising global supply following an OPEC+ decision to accelerate output increases.
Last week, OPEC+, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, agreed to ramp up production for a second straight month, announcing an additional 411,000 barrels per day (bpd) increase for June. This increase, contributed by eight members including Russia, brings the combined rise for April, May, and June to 960,000 bpd—effectively reversing 44% of the 2.2 million bpd in cuts implemented since 2022, according to Reuters estimates.
Sources within the group told Reuters that OPEC+ could fully reverse its voluntary cuts by the end of October if compliance with output quotas does not improve. Saudi Arabia is reportedly pressuring the group to accelerate the rollback of cuts to penalize Iraq and Kazakhstan for their repeated failure to meet agreed production targets.

Unless demand accelerates (AI? middle class growth in India?), this is very supportive of economic growth.

Crude Oil's Bearish Trend Continues: Intraday Trading StrategiesDuring the US trading session on Monday, crude oil recovered part of the losses from the sharp decline at the opening of this week. Previously, OPEC+ unexpectedly increased production again, causing crude oil to continue the bearish trend that has been gradually taking shape since March.
Today, the price of crude oil first rose and then fell. After hitting a new low, the upward trend continued, but when it reached around $57.7, it encountered significant resistance. Looking ahead, it is expected that crude oil will experience an oscillation phase first, and then continue its downward trend.
Currently, crude oil is still in a bear - dominated trend. For intraday trading strategies, it is recommended to focus on short - selling on rallies and use buying on dips as a secondary approach. Pay close attention to the resistance range of $57.7 - $58.5 on the upside and the support range of $55.5 - $54.0 on the downside.

The decisive day of major data (USOIL)
Yesterday, it was pointed out in the analysis circle: The support of 58 needs to be tested. Sure enough, buying at low levels continued to expand profits. The current price is 59.6. From the pressure analysis, the market is still affected by data that oversupply, and institutions will not reduce production in a short time. Therefore, oil prices will fall further,
The oil price broke through 59. Due to supply reasons, the market still has a downward range. 60-61 is a good choice to sell in succession.
tp58-57
Oil Short: Ending Diagonal and Rising WedgeI propose that Oil is a good short candidate because of what I am seeing:
1. Rising Wedge
2. Ending Diagonal within the Rising Wedge
I propose 3 entry points for shorting but mention that if you are shorting at the top of the trendline, to cater for false breakout, meaning more allowance in your stop.
Good luck!
Can oil prices continue to be shorted? Of courseSaudi Arabia made a major strategic shift, willing to accept low oil prices and unwilling to cut supply.
Oil prices fell sharply as a result.
It is expected that oil prices will hit 55-56 in the short term, so the operation is still mainly shorting oil prices. Overcapacity.
USOIL is ready to push againNo comment needed. All information is in the chart analysis.
Steps to follow:
Analyze yourself.
Take the position with SL and Take Profits.
Wait, it may take a couple of days, so take a break and step away from the screen from time to time, just like I do :)

The golden bear
XTIUSD – 4H Short Position ExplanationI have entered a short position on XTIUSD (WTI Crude Oil) based on a multi-timeframe bearish confluence setup:
Weekly and Daily Trend: The overall structure on both the weekly and daily charts is bearish, showing a consistent downtrend and favoring sell setups.
Daily Chart Structure: Recently, price formed a lower high on the daily timeframe, indicating continued bearish pressure and a rejection from a key resistance zone.
4H Price Action: On the 4-hour chart, price has broken a major support level, confirming the bearish momentum. This breakdown increases the probability of further downside movement.
Trendline & Structure: The pair is respecting a descending trendline, further supporting the bearish scenario.
RSI Confirmation: The RSI has dropped below 40 and continues to trend downward, reflecting bearish strength without yet being oversold.
This trade aligns with the higher timeframe trend, with a clear break of support and momentum favoring sellers. The risk is managed above the broken structure, and the setup offers a favorable risk-to-reward ratio.
USOIL Today's strategyFrom a technical perspective, if USOIL can take advantage of the weakening of the DXY, stabilize and rebound near the current price, and break through the key resistance level, it may be able to form an upward trend. However, if it fails to effectively withstand the impact of the production increase by OPEC+, and breaks below the key support level, the price is likely to decline further.
Currently, it is necessary to closely monitor the competition around the price level of $55. If this level can be held, the probability of a rebound will increase. Once it is broken, the next support level may be around the $53 area. At the same time, continuously tracking the trend of the DXY and the subsequent policy dynamics of OPEC+ is of vital importance for judging the future trend of USOIL.

USOIL SPOT CASH ANALYSIS Oil Analysis:
Overall Trend: The general trend remains bearish, moving towards key supportive correction zones aligned with Fibonacci retracement levels.
Technical Signals:
A regular hidden positive divergence has appeared, suggesting a potential upward movement from the corrective Fibonacci levels.
Outlook:
Based on the current setup, there are expectations for a bullish rebound from the corrective zones toward higher target areas, as illustrated in the accompanying chart.
Analysis of the Market Trend for Next WeekThe price of crude oil futures declined on Friday, falling by approximately 1% during the session, giving back the gains brought about by a brief technical rebound. Bearish demand signals continued to dominate traders' sentiment. The price of crude oil is likely to drop by more than 7% this week, which reflects the growing concerns in the market about the weakening of global demand. Traders remain cautious ahead of the crucial OPEC+ meeting scheduled for May 5th. It is expected that some member states will push for an acceleration of production increases before June. There are reports that Saudi Arabia has hinted that it has no intention of supporting oil prices through a new round of production cuts, which has further intensified the downward pressure on oil prices.
In terms of demand, the market remains skeptical about potential trade negotiations. The Ministry of Commerce of China stated that it is evaluating the proposal put forward by the United States to resume tariff negotiations. Analysts said that the trade environment remains unstable and fraught with uncertainties.
Crude oil showed a trend of rising first and then falling today. At the same time, the oil price correction broke below the support line, and the bearish trend of oil prices is expected to enter a further acceleration stage. After the rise first and then the fall, the demarcation line between the bulls and bears of oil prices is around $59.3. If it is under pressure again, it will indicate the continuation of the future trend.

Oil is Doomed: Time to SELL (Part 1/3)A Perfect Storm for Oil Has Begun
The start of April triggered a brutal selloff in oil, and it's only the beginning. Here’s why:
🛑 Global Trade Wars
On April 2nd, Trump launched a full-scale trade war. New tariffs could reach 23% — the highest in a century. China, the world’s largest oil importer, now faces 145% tariffs. Global trade slowdown = weaker demand for oil. Result? Oil dropped 10% in just 2 days — one of the worst drops in history.
📉 US at Risk Too
Goldman Sachs raised recession odds from 15% to 35%. Atlanta FED sees weakening GDP. The whole world slows down — and so does oil demand.
🛢️ OPEC Surprise Output Hike
OPEC+ has started increasing output — over 2.2 million barrels per day in 2025. The April hike alone was supposed to be 138,000 bpd, but turned out to be 411,000 bpd — triple the forecast. This is a MAJOR bearish shock to the market.
Flashback: Spring 2020 — OPEC raised output during an economic crisis. Oil dropped 65% .
WTI Oil H4 | Swing-high resistance at 50% Fibonacci retracementWTI oil (USOIL) is rising towards a swing-high resistance and could potentially reverse off this level to drop lower.
Sell entry is at 59.68 which is a swing-high resistance that aligns close to the 50.0% Fibonacci retracement.
Stop loss is at 62.30 which is a level that sits above an overlap resistance.
Take profit is at 56.05 which is a multi-swing-low support.

USOIL trading opportunities.After the "OPEC+ continued to increase production" on Monday, USOIL continued to fall to a four-year low near 55. However, it rebounded after opening low on Monday. It continued on Tuesday. Is it no longer able to fall?
Ludvig believes that it will continue to fall. Because the decline is caused by the growth of production capacity. The rise is caused by geopolitical strategic reserve materials. One of these two directly affects the trend of OIL, and the other indirectly.
The trend of economic data API/EAI will continue to be released. If the geopolitical weakening situation, the oil price data released is roughly negative, so it will continue to fall. But if the impact of geopolitics intensifies, this is a positive factor.
So the current trading direction that can be determined is to continue to short.
In terms of trading, traders with large funds can sell at the current price, and those with small funds can wait until the market returns to above 59 to sell.
