MCL Long 11/5/2024MCL is in an uptrend. Placed a long position in confluence HV DZ (the upper zone). Waited for price to break previous high. Risk=$220. Target= 1:1 and 3:1.
MCL Short 11/6/2024MCL is in an uptrend. But price made a LH DT. CL inventories report is bearish with high supply. Placed a short position in HV SZ. Taking half risk because it is a countertrend trade. Risk= $125. Target= 1:1 and gap fill.
CL longI see a possible long so taking it. h&n after sweeping NY pm session low. Am assuming 80% chance to hit target. Don't take this trade I am testing theory lol
MCL Long 10/30/2024MCL is in a SW + uptrend because price closed above 4hr MA. Taking a long position in DZ below MA. Taking half risk because zone has been tested. Chances of less unfilled orders. We have 2 zones overlapping. I chose the lower one because of SW trend. Risk= $90. Target= 1:1 and 3:1.
Crude Oil Smoked Again. Will the downtrend continue?Hey, guys. Noticed this evening Crude Oil is down yet again. In this video, taking a look at the technicals and whether this downtrend will continue or not. Oil is in a little bit of a confusing spot, but there is certainly good reason to think the weakness will continue. Hope this video will give you a closer look at the Oil chart and provide helpful information as you develop your thesis around this asset. Will the downtrend continue? Will we get a counter trend move? It will be interesting to watch this develop to be sure! NYMEX:CL1!
Hope you enjoy the video, and best of luck out there!
Crude oil falls as geopolitical fears move to the back burner Crude Oil closed lower overnight at $67.38 (-6.17%), erasing all and more of the previous week's rally following Israel's restrained weekend response to Iran's October 1st attack.
With geopolitical concerns on the back burner for now, this week's data-rich US calendar will provide more insights into the demand outlook for crude oil ahead of next week's US election and China's NPC standing committee expected to reveal the details of the country's fiscal stimulus package.
Technically, providing crude oil remains below the $71.50/72.50 resistance area, the risks remain to the downside, including a retest and break of the September $65.27 low.
Bullish Crude Oil Trade IdeaLooking for crude oil to trend higher as supply stays tight and demand remains steady. Targeting a move up to key resistance, with stops below recent support to manage risk
Bullish Crude Oil Futures Trade Idea:Crude oil futures are set up for potential bullish movement as inventory levels remain low, and recent economic data supports ongoing demand. Supply-side factors, such as lower-than-expected inventories and potential OPEC+ production cuts, add upward pressure. I’m looking for a push into higher resistance levels as bullish momentum builds.
Oil looking for 71.86$oil now above demand zone (67.19 -68.38) and there is Bullish Divergence if it's still above these levels and if price action appears it will be good long trade to reach 71.86 / 77.74 / 80.18 / 84.48 / 87.59.
Good Luck
MCL Short 11/10/2024MCL is in a sideways trend but price closed below 4hr 21 and 200 EMA. So, taking down momentum play. Placed a short position in low volume SZ. Hence, taking half risk. Risk= $120. Target= 1:1 and gap fill.
#202445 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
wti crude oil futures: Neutral between 68 - 73. Bulls have no tried to have a daily close above 73 for a month and could not get it. Friday’s bear bar looks like the turning point from which we will test lower. First bear target is a daily close below 70, followed by 68 and then 67. I doubt we get below 66.8 and rather print another nested triangle.
Quote from last week:
comment: The trading range expanded some but not much. On the weekly chart the September and October lows do seem to be respected and holding but since bulls fail to trade above 72.33, we are forming more nested triangles inside the big one on the monthly chart. For now the range is 65 - 72.33 until broken.
comment: Market is now trying for 4 weeks to get below 73 and still failing. Friday’s bar is decent enough that bears could have given up and market has to drop down to 68 or lower to 67 to find more buyers. The trading range 68 - 73 is still not broken and until it is, that is the range to play. I just expecting bears to be stronger next week than the bulls.
current market cycle: trading range
key levels: 68 - 73
bull case: Bulls failed so many times below 73 now, they will probably only try again at 68 or even lower. We are making higher lows since September, so for now I expect buyers to step in above 67.5. If bulls keep it above 70, I would be surprised and we chop more between 70 and 73 until one side clearly gives up.
Invalidation is below 66.7.
bear case: Bears established strong resistance under 73 and we still have an open gap there. Their next target is to get a daily close below 70 to make much more bulls cover and then I expect the selling to accelerate down to 68 or even 67. Funny thing to watch currently is that the daily, weekly and monthly 20ema are as flat and close together like I have never seen it on markets before. This market is in absolute balance between 70 and 72. Mean reversion strategies for Oil must have made a killing in 2024.
Invalidation is above 73.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral again. Clear range and bearish pattern with limited downside. Scalp and don’t overstay your welcome in positions.
→ Last Sunday we traded 69.49 and now we are at 70.38. Good outlook but it’s not hard to be neutral and be right about it in this market.
short term: Neutral again. Range is unbroken, play it until it breaks.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-11-10 : Unless an event comes up, this will very likely close around 70 for the year.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Nothing
MCL Long 11/3/2024MCL is in an uptrend in 4hr chart. Placed a long position in 1hr HV DZ below MA. Taking half risk because daily and 4hr trends don't match. Also, the zone has been tested. Risk= $120. Target= 1:1 and 3:1.
Short Scalp TradeI entered late on this but before this post. CBA to right a full description for this so lets just see if target hits
#202444 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oil futuresGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
wti crude oil: Neutral between 68 - 72. Market is in balance inside this range and for now no side has clearly better arguments for a bigger impulse. Market formed another nested triangle inside the big one. Which means buyers and sellers are in balance.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bulls actually managed to hold it above 68 and the trend line but failed to close the bear gap completely. This leaves us in nowhere land between 70-72 and a proper triangle. Play that until it’s clearly broken. No more deeper analysis needed.
comment : The trading range expanded some but not much. On the weekly chart the September and October lows do seem to be respected and holding but since bulls fail to trade above 72.33, we are forming more nested triangles inside the big one on the monthly chart. For now the range is 65 - 72.33 until broken.
current market cycle: trading range (nested triangles on multiple tf)
key levels : 65 - 72.33
bull case: Bulls need a daily close above 72.7 for a chance of retesting north of 75. Again. There is a very good chance last weeks low 66.72 can hold for now. Bulls made 3 higher highs the past 3 trading days but look at the bars. They scream weakness and the close below 70 was bearish as well. Bulls do not have many arguments here.
Invalidation is below 65.
bear case: Bears keeping this below 70 is much stronger than I expected this for the past 3 weeks. As long as they are not letting the bulls get consecutive bull bars above the daily 20ema, the bears remain in control. Yet I do think sideways is more likely than a break below 65. Last weeks price action was disappointing for both sides, which is why I continue to be neutral on this.
Invalidation is above 72.3.
outlook last week:
short term: Neutral 68-70 but leaning bearish near 71. Not the best spot to trade currently.
→ Last Sunday we traded 71.78 and now we are at 69.49. Good outlook.
short term: Neutral again. Clear range and bearish pattern with limited downside. Scalp and don’t overstay your welcome in positions.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-20: No idea where this wants to go in the remaining 2 months of this year so I am neutral until we have a better pattern. The big triangle on the weekly chart is alive and until that changes, no more updates.
current swing trade: None
chart update: Nothing
Nothing changed for WTI I have been watching this chart all year and let's see if the USW election this week livens things up !!
Over targeting low $60's maybe $50, lets see
CL Long 10/31/2024HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!
CL is in an uptrend. Placed a long position in confluence HV DZ. Risk= $240. Target= 1:1 and 3:1.
oillooking oil long to take out Asia BSL possible, failure to hold above 67.33 but also looking for ny lunch to hold if the move up continues. Under previous day close then this looks a lot more bearish. As of now PM buyside has been swept and is holding, 2 time we are testing it after the ential break of it. this is looking like it wants to come down and test pdc and possibly some sell side before moving up. Coming up to a low on the daily 66.45, loss of sellside then look for that to be taken out.
2024-10-28 - priceactiontds - daily update - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
Oil - Gigantic bear gap with Globex open and market closed 370 ticks down or a bit more than 5%. 1h 20ema is resistance until clearly broken. Bulls are in a world of hurt here. 66.5 is the next lower target before we go for 65. Bulls need anything above 68 again.
comment: Market has now went from doing 18% upwards, going down 14% and leaving two bear gaps open. The October low is at 65.74, which will likely be hit over the next 1-2 days and if it does not hold, we will test 64 again. Bulls need to break above the 1h 20ema and then 69. I don’t think they can get much higher than that tomorrow or I’d be surprised big time. Huge difference between bulls and bears on the daily chart, is that bear bars have big tails below and market is still going down hard. Bull bars close on their highs but bulls are getting slaughtered. Could be bulls who bought the 1st of October spike, scaling in and they probably have their stops either around 65 or below the September low 63.46. Either case, it will be interesting to see the market reaction if we drop below those prices.
current market cycle: trading range (big triangle on the daily chart)
key levels: 63 - 78
bull case: Couple of ways to try to draw the bear trend line with the lows of the past 3 weeks but all are ugly. Bulls who buy this are probably scaling into positions and their stops are either around 65 or below the September low 63.46. If they can keep the market above 65 and quickly trade back above 69, there is a chance the lows can hold and that we have printed a higher low but those odds are bad after a -5% day. Best they can probably get is sideways movement between 66 and 69.
Invalidation is below 65.74.
bear case: Bears only got the market 80 ticks lower than the Globex spike, which is confirmation of this sell off. Their lower targets are the October low 65.74 and then the September low 63.46. We have an ugly bear channel with almost all bear bars having big tails below them, which shows buying pressure but bears are still selling this down hard. Which is a bit unusual I think. After such a strong bear day, follow through is expected and until bulls have clearly broken above 68 again, that price was decent to short today. For tomorrow I want to see if we have formed a tighter channel than the big one visible on the daily chart and if market is respecting an ema (currently the 1h held). I would not short below 67 but rather on pullbacks.
Invalidation is above 69.
short term: Max bearish. Can’t remember when I have last seen a 200+ tick futures gap that stayed open.
medium-long term - Update from 2024-10-20: No idea where this wants to go in the remaining 2 months of this year so I am neutral until we have a better pattern. The big triangle on the weekly chart is alive and until that changes, no more updates.
current swing trade: Nope.
trade of the day: Selling around the EU open was ok once we broke below 68.3.
oil longsideally we low of day so far at 67.79, we dont have to but gives me more confidence in thesis, take out of Asia SSL create a higher low and make way towards gap fill with London SSL, Ny Lunch SSL and PM SSL, AM BSL to be taken out for the gap to be filled.
#202443 - priceactiontds - weekly update - wti crude oilGood Evening and I hope you are well.
tl;dr
wti crude oil: Dead zone 70 - 72. Best not to trade it and wait for the breakout. I have no opinion on who wins it. For me to believe the bullish breakout to be good, I need to see follow through selling above 73, otherwise it could still be just a retest of the previous support.
Quote from last week:
comment: Bulls started ok on Monday and the close was neutral but Tuesday really killed every last bull who bought above 71 and hoped for a second leg up above 75. Market has now left a giant bearish island reversal between 71 and 72.5 and that is as bearish as it gets. Bulls last hope now is to hold above the bull trend line at 68.
comment: Bulls actually managed to hold it above 68 and the trend line but failed to close the bear gap completely. This leaves us in nowhere land between 70-72 and a proper triangle. Play that until it’s clearly broken. No more deeper analysis needed.
current market cycle: trading range (triangle on the weekly tf)
key levels: 63 - 78
bull case: Bulls need a daily close above 72.7 for a chance of retesting north of 75. Below 68 things get really spicy.
Invalidation is below 68.
bear case: Bears need a daily close below the bull trend lines (also head & shoulders neckline) for lower prices. First would be below 69 and second is below 68. If they manage that, market is free to test down to 66 and then 64. If the neckline breaks, measured move would be 59ish but that is very far fetched.
Invalidation is above 72.7.
outlook last week:
short term : Neutral 68-70 but leaning bearish near 71. Not the best spot to trade currently.
→ Last Sunday we traded 68.69 and now we are at 71.78. Decent outlook.
