#202507 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
comment: No bigger opinion on this trading range. 70 holds, we chop until a bigger news event pushes us above 74. Below 70 we could flush to 69 and then 67.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 70 - 75
bull case: Bulls preventing meaningful lower lows but we have a clear bear trend line. Bulls are still favored going into next week to buy around 70 and test back up to at least 72. They want to break above the Tuesday high 73.67 and make the market more neutral again. If they get it, we could test 75 next.
Invalidation is below 69.7.
bear case: Bears have closed the week near the lows and they want to poke at 70 until it fails. I have no idea how likely that is next week but for now it’s support and if we see decent buying pressure tomorrow, bulls are favored. Volume is also trash again. Below 70 we test 69 and then 67.
Invalidation is above 75.
short term: Neutral for now. Still no interest in this tbh. 70 should hold but the last thing I want to do is buying this. Nothing has changed since last Sunday. Play the range or trade something else.
medium-long term - Update from 2025-01-19: Triangle is dead and market is now in a proper trading range with upside to 80 or even 85.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Nothing
CRUDE - WEEKLY SUMMARY 10.2-14.2 / FORECAST🛢 CRUDE – 11th week of the base cycle (28 weeks), mature 1st phase. The pivot forecast on February 11 worked as a reversal, similar to the extreme forecast on February 3. This marks the second reversal from the combined resistance of the MA20 and the large triangle boundary, which I discussed in previous posts. Holding the short position from the February 3 extreme forecast. The first phase of the base cycle isn’t over yet, but it is very mature.
⚠️ Note that the pivot forecast on January 17 marked a triple top with the extreme forecasts of July 1 and April 12 (Retrograde Mercury). I maintain my bearish stance, which I explained in my crude oil post from summer 2024. Next pivot forecast for crude: February 24. Next extreme forecast: March 3.

Crude Oil - Ichimoku Theories + Price Action ConceptsNYMEX:CL1!
Combining your Ichimoku strategy, with market structure orderblocks, could provide you with support & resistance levels, for your Ichimoku trend bias.
- Here is Crude Oil futures, on a 4H timeframe
- Analyze how the orderblocks, provide key level resistance, for your short positions
Bias is Long on OilHitting an Daily Level, may be bouncing back from a big ~300-Tick move to the downside. Engulfing candle on the 15 min. Currently in a Low Value Area 70.64. Point of Control is 72.45. Hoping for a nice pullback since it's still in overall downtrend. Trying to catch some moves before market opens...Lets' see. Up, up, and away.
CL1!: Buy ideaOn CL1 we would have a high probability of having an upward trend given the configuration on the chart. Indeed, we are in a bearish channel situation with a succession of numerous red candles accompanied by numerous red volumes.
To enter a position, you must wait until the resistance line and the vwap indicator are broken forcefully by a large green candle and followed by a large green volume. Therefore, you can enter a position as soon as the second green candle appears.
CL1! BUYING the Dip Price is currently testing a support level that aligns with previous swing lows, offering a favorable entry point with a defined risk. Traders should consider entering long positions near this support area, targeting the next key resistance zones while managing risk with tight stop-loss levels just below the recent support. The overall market sentiment remains positive, supported by global supply-demand factors, making this a favorable environment for further upside movement in MCL1!
Markets Seeing Mixed ResultsMarkets were seeing mixed results today with US Equity prices slightly lower along with Crude Oil and Gold. Traders saw CPI come in better than expected while the Crude Inventories report came in higher than expected. The Crude Market specifically has had a volatile beginning to 2025 with a lot of the recent price action hovering around the 200-day moving average.
The initial jump in prices to the recent January 15th high came after breaking through the 200-day moving average and the volatility around that level has come back this week. Crude Oil has several fundamental factors that can affect the price drastically, including global tensions and supply and demand, which is why the CME offers different sized products for Crude Oil to help traders manage their risk ranging from the full size to the micro contract.
For the rest of the week, traders will be looking at the jobless claims number along with the PPI for an indication on inflation moving forward.

Recap: CL and ES Weekly Plan analysis & Key LevelsNYMEX:CL1!
CME_MINI:ES1!
In this trading trading view blog we will refer to our February 3, 2025, weekly trading plans.
Our main idea for ES futures was to get long above yearly open, also our key LIS (Line in Sand). And our main idea for CL futures was to stay short below February monthly open targeting mcVAL and then waiting for an opportunity to get long at our key bullish support zone.
Below we explain our thoughts behind these ideas and how we choose our key levels and the process to create our plan.
ES Trade Idea: Key Levels and Strategies Amid Macro Uncertainty :
From our ES trade plan, scenario 1 played out. The line in sand for long trades was Key LIS/Yearly open. Click on the link above to see how this played out!
Our key levels for the trade idea noted in the blog were:
(mcVAH) micro composite value area high: 6,134.25
Key LIS/Yearly Open: 5,949.25
(mcVAL) micro composite value area low: 5,914.25
(CVAH) Composite Value Area High: 5,924
mcVAH held as an area of initial resistance. Our neutral zone at 6,068.25 - 6,051.50 acted as a zone for pullback after initial push higher. The remaining week was choppy with some days more volatile and playing out per our scenario 1 in our trading plan.
CL Trade Idea: Key Levels & Strategies Amid Volatility:
From our CL trade plan, scenario 1 also played out.
Why we favored this as scenario 1 was due to rejection confirmed at January 2025 mid range. The provided a good short opportunity below Jan 2025 mid or February monthly open towards our key levels as specified in the trading plan. We mentioned the following key levels in last week’s plan.
Micro Composite Value Area High (mCVAH) January 2025: 76.00
January 2025 mid- range: 74.96
February Monthly Open: 74.14
Micro Composite Value Area Low (mCVAL) January 2025: 71.82
Yearly Open: 70.52
2024 Mid- Range: 70.40
mCVAL provided a good target for short trades, while Yearly open and 2024 Mid-range confluence at our key bull support provided a good spot to initiate the long trade idea.
Following a consistent process can help traders stick to a trading approach that can help them achieve consistency. Losses are an inherent part of trading, executing the trade plan also involves weighing which scenario will play out on the hard right edge in real- time. However, our market analysis blogs are aimed to educate traders, showing whatever their methodology or approach, consistency in preparation and having a roadmap of important price levels will help them distinguish between getting caught in noise versus important areas to engage with markets.
RISING WEDGE PATTERN IN CRUDEOILCrude Oil (MCX) 1HR Chart Analysis
🔹 Expected Price Movement: Price is forming a rising wedge pattern, indicating a potential short-term upmove before a breakdown.
🔹 Bullish Push First: Expecting price to test the 6343 - 6380 zone before showing weakness. A temporary breakout could occur before reversal.
🔹 Bearish Breakdown Target: If the price fails to hold, a breakdown below 6306 could trigger a drop toward 6260, confirming the wedge breakdown.
🔹 EMA & Volume Analysis: The 55 EMA (6287) acts as dynamic support, but declining momentum and volume suggest a possible exhaustion near resistance.
🔹 Risk Management: Traders should monitor price action near resistance and use stop-loss protection to manage volatility.

Crude Oil daily time frame - potential Ascending Channel Crude Oil Futures (CL1!) – Daily Chart Analysis (Feb 11, 2025)
📉 Market Structure:
Crude oil is trading within a broad ascending channel, with higher lows forming near $68 and resistance near $80-$82.
Price recently bounced from a key support zone around $70-$72, indicating demand in this area.
🔑 Key Levels to Watch:
Support: $70-$72 (previous resistance turned support)
Resistance: $78-$80 (previous strong rejection area)
Major Resistance: $82+ (upper trendline of the channel)
📊 Potential Scenarios:
Bullish Case: If price holds above $72, a continuation to $78-$80 is likely. Breaking $80 could lead to a test of the upper channel at $82-$85.
Bearish Case: A break below $70 could invalidate the bullish momentum, pushing price towards the lower trendline near $68-$66.
📌 Conclusion: Oil is in a consolidation phase, respecting key levels. Bulls need a breakout above $78-$80 for further upside, while bears would target a breakdown below $70. 🚀🔥
CRUDE OIL - WEEKLY SUMMARY 3.2-7.2 / FORECAST🛢 CRUDE – 10th week of the base cycle (28 weeks), likely completing the 1st phase. The extreme forecast on February 3 worked as a reversal from the combined resistance of the MA20 and the large triangle boundary, which I mentioned in my last post. Holding the short position from the February 3 extreme forecast. The first phase of the base cycle isn’t over yet, but it is very mature.
⚠️ Note that the pivot forecast on January 17 marked a triple top with the extreme forecasts of July 1 and April 12 (Retrograde Mercury). This is a very strong resistance level. I maintain my bearish stance, which I explained in my crude oil post from summer 2024. Next pivot forecast for crude: February 11.
CL1! BULLISH intraday forcast The outlook for CL (Crude Oil) in intraday trading is somewhat mixed, with a few bullish factors and technical indicators to consider. Recent analysis shows that while technical signals point to a bearish trend in the short term, there are elements suggesting potential price support. For instance, the strength of the crude crack spread has risen to a 5¾-month high, which could indicate positive momentum for crude prices. Additionally, the U.S. GDP growth is showing positive signs, potentially leading to an increase in oil demand. This economic growth could push prices higher, especially if the market responds favorably to these fundamentals. However, technical indicators, including moving averages, suggest a "Sell" position at the moment. Therefore, traders should monitor market developments closely, weighing both the technical signals and broader economic factors when considering intraday trading strategies for CL.
WTI crude bulls eye $74Crude oil prices fell over 11% from the January high before support was found at the 200-day SMA and 50% retracement level on Friday. Trump's latest tariffs saw commodities rise on inflationary concerns, and that allowed WTI futures to post a daily gain of 1.6% - its best day since the January high.
The 1-hour chart shows an impulsive move with no immediate threat of a top forming, and it seems plausible that the market is now reaching for $74 as part of a counter trend move, near the monthly pivot point and weekly R2.
However, as Monday's trading volume was the lowest of the year, it shows a lack of bullish enthusiasm. So unless we see volumes rising alongside prices, I am to assume the current bounce is simply a correction against the drop from the January high.

Please click "Boost" as well.
Have a nice day today.

(CL1! 1D chart)
The point to watch is whether it can rise above 73.25-74.62.
Since the M-Signal indicator and MS-Signal (M-Signal on the 1D chart) indicators on the 1W chart are passing around 73.25, it is expected to be the first resistance zone for the rise.
The M-Signal indicator of the 1M chart is passing around 74.62, so it is expected to be the second resistance zone.

If it receives resistance and falls,
1st: 70.64-71.0
