OIL: A Bearish Setup And Geopolitical UncertaintyOIL: A Bearish Setup And Geopolitical Uncertainty Today Oil is showing a clear bearish pattern development but it comes with a high risk from a fundamental perspective. Technical analysis: The price faced a strong resistance near 64 - 64.80 from where it moved down several times. The Chart is showing in a clear way the possibility of a bearish movement with targets 60.2 ; 58 and 56. It's possible that OIl may follow this way down if we don't take the news in consideration. Fundamental Analysis: Yesterday OIL declined toward $61 as traders anticipate positive developments on teh next round between US-Irand Nuclear negotiations. Earlier yesterday their lider said that the deal with the U.S was impossible. On the other hand, On Tuesday, the US obtained new intelligence suggesting that Israel is making preparations to strike Iranian nuclear facilities, even as US President Donald Trump has been pursuing a diplomatic deal with Tehran. It isn’t clear that Israeli leaders have made a final decision to carry out the strikes, CNN said, citing unnamed officials. So all of this is not a clear situation and if something happens OIL may rise aggressively up again. But this is all related to the news now. You may find more details in the chart!

OIL: Short Term Bullish Setup - Very RiskyOIL: Short Term Bullish Setup - Very Risky The trading setup we have for OIL carries a high risk as it has been moving against news reports on war or OPEC topics for days. However, OIL faced a strong support zone near 60, thus increasing the chances of further growth. Perhaps the situation in GAZA could keep the price above 60 and it could rise slowly as shown in the chart. The main target zones are near 62.6 and 63.8. You may find more details in the chart!

USOIL Today's Trading Strategy:Recent oil prices have been extremely volatile. On the supply side, OPEC+ has continued to increase production since June, with output hikes sustained over the past few months. This has led to a surplus in crude oil supply, exerting downward pressure on prices. Additionally, U.S. shale oil production capacity may gradually be released as prices rebound. However, production costs in U.S. shale oil regions, such as Midland, act as a floor for prices: new wells require oil prices to stay above $60 per barrel to be profitable, providing some support for prices. On the demand side, global economic growth has been sluggish. In particular, U.S. tariff hikes have impacted global commodity flows and suppressed oil demand growth in developing countries. However, a easing of U.S.-China trade tensions could potentially bolster oil demand. Moreover, heightened tensions in the Middle East, if conflicts escalate and disrupt oil production and transportation, could cause oil prices to surge in the USOIL Today's Trading Strategy: USOIL BUY@60~60.5 SL:60 TP:61.5~62

Oil bearish trend resumesI believe that we have been in a slow oscillating move to the high of $64.50. Which is a previous resistance area. The flash news of Israel planning on attacking Iran nuclear facilities caused a rally on the daily open. The markets viewed that this appears to be very unlikely to occur. Price then hit the daily resistance area and started to fall since reaching these highs. Today the build on oil inventories appears to have sealed oils fate and the downward pressure has continued.

USOIL Today's Trading StrategyFrom the demand side, although U.S. crude oil inventories are currently rising and oil product demand is declining, the summer driving season is approaching, and gasoline consumption is expected to increase significantly—a yearly pattern. For example, during summer, increased driving leads to more people refueling at gas stations, boosting gasoline demand and in turn driving crude oil demand growth. Additionally, the gradual recovery of the global economy will increase industrial production's consumption of crude oil, providing strong support for oil prices. In terms of geopolitics, tensions in the Middle East persist, with high uncertainty surrounding the Iran nuclear negotiations and elevated risks of conflict between Israel and Iran. If a conflict breaks out, crude oil production and transportation in the Middle East will inevitably be disrupted, reducing global crude oil supply and causing oil prices to surge rapidly like a rocket.

A breakdown in negotiations could reignite tensions in the Strait of Hormuz (through which 20% of global oil flows), potentially disrupting 1.5–2 million bpd of Iranian supply and triggering short-term price surges. - Russia-Ukraine Ceasefire Prospects: Unclear progress in peace talks leaves risks of renewed disruptions to Black Sea exports (critical for Russian crude and Ukrainian grain shipments), adding volatility to an already tense market. - The outlook for the crude oil market next week, I hope it will be helpful to you USOIL BUY@61.0~61.5 SL:60 TP:62.5~63

WTI OIL 1H Channel Up make or break Targets.WTI Oil (USOIL) has been trading within a Channel Up on the 1H time-frame that is supported by the 1H MA200 (orange trend-line). As long as this holds, we expect another +2.50% Bullish Leg (at least), which gives a Target of $63.55. If the price breaks below the 1H MA200 though, we will take this small loss on the long and go short instead, targeting Support 1 at $60.60. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** Please LIKE 👍, FOLLOW ✅, SHARE 🙌 and COMMENT ✍ if you enjoy this idea!

WTI Consolidates and Holds Above 60Crude oil remains locked in a resilient sideways range, with strong support between $55 and $58, and a key resistance zone between $63 and $65. Momentum indicators are mixed: • Daily RSI remains neutral, allowing for both bullish and bearish scenarios. • Weekly RSI shows a clean bounce from 2020 extremes, suggesting underlying bullish potential. Scenarios to Watch Bullish Scenario: A sustained move above $63.80–$65 could pave the way for gains toward $66.90, $69.20, and $71. Bearish Scenario: A decisive break below $58 would expose downside risk toward $56.70 and $55. In the case of extreme market turbulence, further losses toward $49 remain possible—potentially setting up for a new long-term bullish positioning. - Razan Hilal, CMT

Textbook Falling Wedge & Wyckoff Accumulation Brewing?Analysis: Looking at the daily chart for Crude Oil, we appear to be seeing a very compelling confluence of bullish technical signals that suggest a potential significant reversal to the upside. Textbook Falling Wedge Formation: Price action is clearly consolidating within a well-defined falling wedge pattern. We have observed multiple clear touches (3+ on the upper, 4+ on the lower trendline), indicating these boundaries are highly respected by the market. Crucially, volume has been declining as price consolidates within the wedge, a classic characteristic signifying diminishing selling pressure. The angles of convergence also appear ideal, with the upper trendline being steeper than the lower. Wyckoff Accumulation Schematic #1 in Play? Diving deeper, the internal structure of this falling wedge strongly resembles Wyckoff's Accumulation Schematic #1. We can identify potential phases: PS (Preliminary Support): Early signs of buying. SC (Selling Climax): A sharp sell-off often with high volume, marking potential capitulation. AR (Automatic Rally): The first significant bounce after the SC. ST (Secondary Test): Retesting the lows of the SC. Spring: A key event where price dips below the established trading range support (or the wedge's lower trendline) only to quickly reverse back above it, effectively trapping sellers and confirming a shakeout of weak hands. This internal Wyckoff structure within the falling wedge significantly strengthens the case for institutional accumulation taking place. Bullish Candlestick & Oscillator Confluence: At the recent lows, we observed a potential Piercing Line bullish reversal candlestick pattern forming right at the lower trendline of the wedge. This indicates aggressive buying stepping in. The MACD indicator has confirmed this bullish shift, showing a recent bullish crossover (MACD line above Signal line) and a flip of the histogram from red to green. Furthermore, there appears to be a bullish divergence on the MACD – as price made lower lows within the wedge, the MACD indicator made higher lows (or showed increasing bullish momentum), suggesting underlying bearish momentum is weakening significantly. Market Sentiment & Potential Implications: It's noteworthy that this bullish technical setup is occurring amidst increased bearish media and Twitter sentiment surrounding oil. From a contrarian perspective, extreme bearish sentiment often coincides with market bottoms, as "smart money" accumulates positions while the crowd is most pessimistic. This situation could set the stage for a strong reversal, potentially fueled by short covering. Conclusion: All signs from price action, volume, candlestick patterns, and oscillators point towards a high probability of a bullish reversal and an upside breakout from this well-formed falling wedge. The potential Wyckoff accumulation pattern adds significant weight to the idea that sophisticated players are positioning for a significant move higher. What to Watch For: The next critical step is a decisive breakout above the upper trendline of the falling wedge, ideally accompanied by a significant surge in buying volume. This would confirm the pattern's completion and signal the potential start of a new uptrend. A more aggressive approach is entering now and capturing more upside if it is to occur.

Crude Oil – Geopolitical Risks and Stockpiles Impacting PricesThe recent reduction in global trade tensions has helped Crude Oil (WTI) prices recover from lows of 55.64 seen on May 5th, to trade comfortably above 60 for the last 2 weeks. Traders have readjusted their thinking and positioning to account for a slightly more stable background for the global economy, and its potential influence on upcoming demand for Oil. However, despite this, tests of the recent highs at 65.33, seen on April 23rd, have been few and far between, although yesterday saw a spike in Crude Oil prices up to a 1 month high of 64.60 on a CNN report that suggested that Israel has drawn up plans to attack Iran's nuclear facilities. While prices have since moved lower again, the market reaction to this news does highlight the sensitivity of traders to any potential escalation in geopolitical risks in the region. It is also important to remember that traders are still awaiting updates on progress from US/Iran talks to curb Iran's nuclear activities. President Trump only a week ago said a deal was getting close, while Iran's top negotiator has seen shed some doubt over whether that's the case. Either way, updates on both of these crucial events may well influence Crude Oil prices moving forward. Adding to yesterday's volatile moves was a weekly report providing an update on the size of US Oil inventories which always grabs the attention of traders. Yesterday's release quickly dashed any hopes of a fresh move to test higher levels as it outlined an increase in stockpiles to 10 month highs and a fall in gasoline demand, which saw prices fall back lower (61.71 low) into the recent trading range. This extra volatility within the recent trading range sets up a potentially tense finish to the week for Crude Oil prices, so its often useful to check out the technical landscape for further insight. Technical Update: Evidence Points to a Sideways Range Since the sharp acceleration lower into the 55.20 April 9th 2025 low, Crude Oil has seen a consolidation emerge, with the mid-April recovery finding resistance at 65.15, which is equal to the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement of January 15th to April 9th 2025 weakness (see chart below). This activity looks to have established both upper and lower extremes of a sideways range in price, especially as the latest price movement has been held within these levels, which are 65.15 to the upside and 55.20 to the downside. Within technical analysis, this highlights something of a ‘battle’ between buyers and sellers, where price weakness is supported by buyers at or just above the 55.20 low, while price strength runs into resistance, as sellers continue to be found near the 38.2% retracement level at 65.15. Adding Bollinger Bands To Support Trading Decisions Now look at the chart below, where we include Bollinger bands alongside price action. This also appears to support an argument that a sideways trading range is forming. The mid-average is currently flat with both the upper and lower Bollinger bands parallel to it, outlining that balanced price volatility is evident for now. This suggests the sideways range may well continue with the upper band, currently at 64.77 and the lower band, currently at 57.36. We could argue that with the proximity of both the 65.15 Fibonacci retracement resistance to the upside, and the 55.20 April 9th low to the downside, upper extremes of the current range are 64.77/65.15, and lower levels of the current range are between 55.20/57.36. What Could This Mean for Crude Oil? For now at least, from a technical perspective the risks appear for the price of Crude Oil to remain within the confines of the current 55.20/57.36 up to 64.77/65.15 trading range, as there is no evidence emerging of an imminent breakout yet. A closing breakout from the current range is required to suggest potential for a more extended phase of price movement,. Of course, while any closing break is not a guarantee of a sustained move in the direction of the eventual break, any closes above 65.12/15 might see traders anticipate a further recovery in price towards 68.13, which is equal to the 50% Fibonacci retracement, even 71.17, the higher 61.8% level. To the downside, closes below the 55.20/57.30 lower daily Bollinger band and April 9th price low, might now be needed to skew possibilities towards a more extended phase of weakness. Such activity might then suggest potential for further downside, towards 51.38, which was a price low established in January 2021.

USOIL Today's Trading StrategyThe current crude oil price is $62.5 per barrel. Recently, the crude oil price has witnessed a certain degree of decline, mainly affected by factors such as the unexpected production increase of OPEC+ and the suppression of demand by US tariffs. Since April, the international crude oil market has seen a sharp decline. First, Trump announced the launch of the "reciprocal tariff" policy, which has intensified market concerns about the global economic growth outlook and will once again lead to a decline in crude oil prices.

WTI - Bullish Momentum Targets $65US Light Crude has demonstrated remarkable resilience after experiencing a significant correction from March highs around $72 down to the $55 support zone in late April. The commodity has since staged an impressive recovery, climbing steadily from those April lows to current levels near $62, effectively reclaiming more than half of the previous decline. This recovery pattern suggests strong underlying demand and buying interest at lower levels, with crude oil successfully breaking above key resistance areas during its ascent. The current price action shows the market consolidating near recent highs while maintaining an upward bias, with the technical structure indicating further upside potential toward the resistance zone highlighted around $65. Given the strong bounce from support, sustained momentum, and the overall recovery trajectory, the higher probability scenario favors a continuation of the bullish move targeting the upper resistance band.

USOIL Today's Trading Strategy Hope this helps youAlthough OPEC+ plans to significantly increase production in July and August, the actual implementation is uncertain. Some member states may struggle to meet production targets due to their own capacity, technical, or financial limitations, which could result in the actual supply increase being lower than expected. For example, in some small and medium oil-producing countries, aging equipment and backward mining technologies make it difficult to truly implement production increase plans even if they exist. The U.S. shale oil industry is facing the dual challenges of rising equipment costs and low oil prices, with many small and medium-sized drilling companies struggling to survive and even possibly shutting down some oil wells due to continuous losses. This means that U.S. shale oil production may not only fail to grow but could also decline, thereby reducing global crude oil supply and supporting oil prices. As the "heartland" of global crude oil supply, the Middle East has always been in a tense situation. The Iranian nuclear issue remains unresolved, relations between the U.S. and Iran are highly strained, and Israel is also eyeing Iran's nuclear facilities. Once a conflict breaks out, Iran's crude oil production and exports will be hindered, and oil transportation channels in the Middle East may also be affected, leading to a significant reduction in global crude oil supply and triggering a sharp rise in oil prices. This potential geopolitical risk could(at any time) become a catalyst for driving oil prices higher. USOIL Today's Trading Strategy Hope this helps you USOIL BUY@60.5~61 SL:59.5 TP:61.5~62

USOIL MONTHLYUSOIL,oil is on a demand floor and will continue to upswing into 70-69 dollar zone ,am holding oil buy till 70$ per barrel at 70$ zon,e buyers will face supply roof ,a critical make or break zone ,if they break the structure ,oil will fly higher and if they respect the supply roof, we sell on the fundamentals of a broken SR/RS RULE..35$ zone will be watched in a bearish scenario. Relationship Between US Oil Prices (USOIL), Bond Yields, and Interest Rates 1. General Correlation Between Oil Prices and Bond Yields Over recent years, US crude oil prices and 10-year US Treasury bond yields have shown a strong positive correlation, often moving in tandem. When oil prices rise, it typically signals stronger economic activity and higher inflation expectations, which tend to push bond yields higher as investors demand greater compensation for inflation risk and growth prospects. Conversely, falling oil prices often correlate with lower bond yields due to expectations of weaker growth and reduced inflationary pressure. 2. Oil Prices Leading Bond Yield Movements Short-term trend changes in crude oil prices often lead changes in bond yields by a few weeks, meaning oil price movements can be a useful indicator for bond market trends. For example, a sustained rise in oil prices due to supply constraints or geopolitical tensions often precedes an increase in Treasury yields. 3. Recent Divergences and Market Dynamics Recently, the usual positive relationship between oil prices and bond yields has broken down temporarily, reflecting unusual market conditions such as US fiscal uncertainties and changing safe-haven dynamics. For instance, oil prices dropped due to expectations of increased production, while US bond yields increased following economic data releases, showing a temporary divergence. 4. Impact of Oil Prices on Interest Rates and Inflation Expectations Rising oil prices contribute to higher inflation expectations, which in turn can lead to higher nominal bond yields as investors seek compensation for inflation risk. Central banks, including the Federal Reserve, may respond to sustained high oil prices and inflation by maintaining or raising interest rates, which also pushes bond yields higher. Conversely, falling oil prices can act as a disinflationary force, potentially easing pressure on interest rates and bond yields, though recent market behavior shows this effect can be muted by other factors. 5. Economic Implications Higher oil prices combined with rising bond yields and a strengthening dollar can act as a "tax" on the US economy, potentially slowing growth and increasing recession risks. The interplay of oil prices and bond yields is a key factor in assessing the economic outlook, inflation trajectory, and monetary policy stance. Summary Table Factor Relationship / Impact Oil Price ↑ Bond yields ↑ (due to inflation & growth expectations) Oil Price ↓ Bond yields ↓ (due to lower inflation & growth fears) Oil price trend leads bond yields Oil price changes precede bond yield changes by weeks Recent divergence Temporary breakdown due to fiscal concerns, policy uncertainty Inflation expectations Higher oil → higher inflation expectations → higher yields Economic growth impact Higher oil + yields = economic headwind (stagflation risk) Conclusion The relationship between US oil prices (USOIL) and bond yields is generally positive and significant, with oil price movements often leading bond yield trends. Rising oil prices tend to push bond yields and interest rates higher through increased inflation expectations and stronger economic activity signals. However, recent market conditions have caused some temporary divergences due to fiscal uncertainties and changing safe-haven demand. Monitoring oil prices is crucial for anticipating bond market movements and understanding the broader macroeconomic environment. #usoil #dollar #oil
