Oil at the Edge: Final Wave or One More Drop?🛢 Brent ICEEUR:BRN1! TVC:UKOIL FX:UKOIL has been correcting for nearly two years since its 2022 high — but looking at the current wave structure, we may be approaching the end of this cycle.
📌 Base Scenario
We’re likely in a classic ABC correction, with wave B being quite extended. The current wave C looks like a developing ending diagonal, and we may now be inside its final legs. In this case, Brent could dip into the $60–65 range before a potential trend reversal kicks in.
🔄 Alternative Scenario
If wave B was shallower than expected, we might be seeing a shorter wave C as well. That would mean Brent could bottom around current levels or slightly lower — with less downside left in play.
💡 Macro Factors That Still Support Oil:
Global demand isn’t falling — especially in Asia and emerging markets.
OPEC+ remains active, limiting supply and stabilizing price action.
Geopolitical tensions and logistical bottlenecks keep risk premiums alive.
Monetary easing cycles in the US and EU could soon put commodities back in the spotlight.
🧭 So, What’s the Play?
Regardless of the exact path, a major collapse looks unlikely. The final leg down may actually be a buying opportunity for long-term bulls. Targets and potential entry zones are highlighted on the chart — now it’s all about watching how wave C wraps up.

Brent Oil Smashes Support – Next Fib Level $61.74Brent crude plummeted after forming a tight flat flag near $72. A violent breakdown followed, pushing price to $63.71 with strong bearish candles. RSI near 27 suggests extreme conditions, but momentum still favors sellers. As long as $68.59 (previous support) is not reclaimed, the focus shifts toward $61.74 and $59.91 Fibonacci extensions.

Trump shakes up the markets: Strategies and impact on oilBy Ion Jauregui - ActivTrades Analyst
Former President Donald Trump's recent decision to impose across-the-board tariffs has had a strong impact on global markets. European and Asian stock markets reacted with significant declines, while the oil market experienced notable volatility.
Impact on the oil market
The announcement of tariffs has affected global demand and economic expectations, generating downward pressure on crude oil prices. Both Brent and West Texas Intermediate (WTI) recorded declines of more than 3%, reflecting uncertainty about economic growth and energy demand. In addition, the unexpected increase in US crude oil stocks has contributed to the bearish sentiment in the sector.
Possible scenarios and trading strategies
1. Technical perspective: The drop in oil prices has taken Brent to the $72 level and WTI to $69. If these key levels are lost, we could see an extension of the falls towards $70 and $67 respectively.
2. Hedging strategy: In the face of increased volatility, traders can consider hedging strategies through options or futures contracts, reducing exposure to risk.
3. Opportunities in safe-haven assets: Uncertainty could continue to drive demand for safe-haven assets such as gold and the Japanese yen. The VIX index has shown a rebound, indicating an increase in risk aversion.
BRENT Analysis
Yesterday the US market closed with a very pronounced bearish candle that de-escalated the price by more than 3 dollars. Despite having a previous sequence of candlesticks with relative volume, this did not prevent the day from closing negative for crude oil. Currently, after an Asian session without volume and the price recovering to the POC zone at $72.98, the European market has opened with a bearish session without excessive volume. A clearly oversold RSI can be seen at 29.55% so there could be a price reversal to the upside above the check point as soon as this downtrend eases. However, there has been a crossing of the 50-average below the 100-average that could indicate a bearish continuation until it meets the 200-average at a price that coincides around the indicated control point. It would not be unusual for the market to neutralize possible bullish attempts after a significant pullback after touching the high zone at least 3 times this week near the highs of $75.17. The central channel that has formed seems to be supporting at the lows of $71.88 so perhaps there could be a drop to this price zone to then gain momentum to the middle zone again. If this price does not hold, it could test the $70.27 area.
Conclusion
The U.S. tariff increase, bringing the average rate to 22% (its highest level since 1910), has dramatically changed the global economic landscape. Trade retaliation from the EU and China could further intensify volatility. In this context, it is crucial for investors to closely follow market trends and adapt their strategies to this new environment.

Brent Crude Oil INTRADAY key trading level at 74.20Brent Crude Oil maintains a bullish sentiment, aligned with the prevailing uptrend. The recent price action suggests a corrective pullback toward a key support zone.
Key Level: 74.20
This level represents the previous consolidation range and now acts as a crucial support area.
Bullish Scenario: A bounce from 74.20 could see Brent resuming its upward trajectory, targeting 75.80, followed by 76.40 and 77.40 in the longer term.
Bearish Scenario: A break below 74.20 with a daily close under this level would weaken the bullish outlook, potentially leading to further declines toward 73.00 and 72.00.
Conclusion:
Brent Crude Oil remains bullish unless it loses support at 74.20. Traders should monitor this level for either a bounce or a breakdown to confirm the next move.

Potential short in OilOil is declining from the 50-day moving average, and on higher timeframes, the price remains in a downtrend.
A short trade could be considered, with the first target at 70.50 and the next at 68.00 .
Stop-loss at 73.50 .
For several reasons, I’m not a fan of short positions and prefer to trade short setups intraday without holding them overnight. Because of this, the trade is suboptimal for me. However, if shorts fit well into your trading system, this could be a good opportunity to capture the move.

A major correction in Brent crude oil (UKOIL).A major correction in Brent crude oil (UKOIL).
- This idea is invalidated if the price exceeds $73.755.
On the monthly chart, it shows that we are forming a 50% Fibonacci correction from wave 1, from where we will further expect growth toward the $115 area, and possibly even a new all-time high due to a military conflict in the Middle East.
I’ve marked potential downside targets on the chart at $46.50, $49.06, and $52.46, from where we will look for entry points for long positions lasting 2 years or more.
Brent Crude INTRADAY oversold bounce back The Brent Crude Oil price action remains bearish, in line with the prevailing downtrend. The recent move suggests an oversold bounce, but overall sentiment remains weak unless a significant breakout occurs.
Key Levels to Watch:
Resistance Levels: 74.25 (critical level), 74.90, 75.90
Support Levels: 71.70, 70.70, 69.13
Bearish Scenario:
A rejection from the 74.25 resistance level could confirm the bearish outlook, leading to further downside movement toward 71.70, with extended losses targeting 70.70 and 69.13 in the longer timeframe.
Bullish Scenario:
A breakout above 74.25 with a daily close above this level would challenge the bearish sentiment, opening the door for further gains toward 74.90, followed by 75.90.
Conclusion:
The market sentiment remains bearish, with the 74.25 level acting as a key resistance zone. A rejection from this level could reinforce the downside trend, while a confirmed breakout would shift the outlook to bullish, favoring further upside. Traders should closely monitor price action at this critical level for confirmation.

Institutional Supply: OIL shortsHey,
Many good things happening in the markets, been a while that I updated though.
Everything I watch and trade is of course posted in my community.
But let's get back to it.
UKOIL is in supply and ready to roll, but USOIL supply is slightly higher, so price might want to wait a little bit before both are ready.
I love it when they move in sync and both are at value.
Studying correlation and different pov's is always good.
Regards,
Max
Brent crude oil Wave Analysis – 24 March 2025
- Brent crude oil broke resistance zone
- Likely to rise to the resistance level 73.60
Brent crude oil recently broke the resistance zone between the resistance level 71.30 (top of wave A), resistance trendline of the daily down channel in January and the 38.2% Fibonacci correction of the downward impulse from February.
The breakout of this resistance zone accelerated the C-wave of the active intermediate ABC correction (2) from the start of March.
Brent crude oil can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 73.60 (top of the previous minor correction 4 from the end of February).
XBR/USD Analysis: Price Near Resistance ZoneXBR/USD Analysis: Price Near Resistance Zone
As seen on the XBR/USD chart, Brent crude oil prices are hovering near last week’s highs this morning as market participants assess various influencing factors, including:
→ New U.S. sanctions on Iran, which are limiting its export capacity and tightening global supply, particularly to China.
→ Ongoing negotiations between the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia in Saudi Arabia, which could potentially lead to increased Russian oil exports.
→ OPEC+ plans to raise oil production starting in April.
Technical Analysis of XBR/USD
From a technical perspective, Brent crude oil is trading near a key resistance zone, which consists of:
→ A bearish Fair Value Gap (highlighted in purple).
→ The upper boundary of the descending channel.
→ The upper boundary of a narrowing triangle (shown in black), which can be interpreted as a Rising Wedge pattern.
The Rising Wedge may represent a corrective rebound within a broader bearish trend. If buyers fail to break through this resistance zone, Brent crude prices could resume their downtrend within the red channel.

XBR/USD ..... today setup..My XBR/USD (Brent Crude) trade idea is solid, with a strong bearish confluence based on technical indicators. Let's refine it a bit:
Trade Breakdown:
Bearish Bias: Price rejected the upper trendline of an ascending channel.
Indicators Confirming:
CCI & %R exiting overbought → Bearish momentum starting.
Imbalance below → Potential price correction downward.
Entry: Sell below 71.50, confirming with a strong breakdown.
Targets:
🎯 TP1: 70.80 (first support zone).
🎯 TP2: 70.40 (deeper correction level).
Stop-Loss: Above recent highs, around 72.20 - 72.50, to avoid premature stop-outs.
Additional Confirmation:
Break & Retest of 71.50 as resistance.
Bearish candlestick formations (e.g., engulfing, shooting star).
Volume increase on the breakdown.
🚨 Final Verdict: Yes, but wait for a solid break! Would you like a live market check for confirmation?
Brent Crude INTRADAY ahead of US inventories reportThe Brent Crude price action remains bearish, driven by the prevailing downtrend. Recent price movements indicate persistent selling pressure, with rallies being met with resistance.
Key Levels:
Resistance: The critical resistance level to watch is 7240, the current intraday swing high. An oversold rally toward this level followed by a bearish rejection would reinforce the downtrend.
Support: On the downside, the next key support levels are located at 6975, 6875, and 6780, marking potential targets over a longer timeframe.
Bullish Scenario: A confirmed breakout above the 7240 resistance level, accompanied by a daily close above this point, would invalidate the bearish outlook. Such a move could signal renewed buying interest, paving the way for a rally toward the 7300 resistance level, followed by 7450.
Conclusion: The sentiment remains bearish as long as the 7240 resistance holds. Traders should be cautious of oversold rallies, as they could present selling opportunities near resistance. A decisive breakout above 7240 would indicate a potential shift in sentiment, favoring further gains.

Will Oil Prices Ignite Amid a Middle East War?The global oil market is critical, with geopolitical tensions in the Middle East potentially leading to significant price fluctuations. Recent military actions by the U.S. against Yemen's Houthi group have contributed to rising oil prices, as Brent crude futures reached $71.21 per barrel and U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures hit $67.80 per barrel. Positive economic indicators from China, including increased retail sales, have supported oil prices despite global economic slowdown concerns.
The Middle East remains a focal point for oil price volatility due to its strategic importance in global oil supply. Iran, a major oil producer, could face disruptions if tensions escalate, potentially driving prices higher. However, global spare capacity and demand resilience might cap long-term increases. Historical events like the 2019 Saudi oil facility attacks demonstrate the market's sensitivity to regional instability, with prices spiking by $10 following the incident.
Analysts predict that if the conflict escalates to close the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices could exceed $100 per barrel. Nevertheless, historical data suggests that prices may stabilize within a few months if disruptions prove temporary. The delicate balance between supply shocks and market adjustments underscores the need to closely monitor geopolitical developments and their economic ripple effects.
As global economic uncertainties overshadow geopolitical risks, maintaining market confidence will depend on sustained positive economic data from countries like China. The potential for peace negotiations in Ukraine and changes in U.S. sanctions could also impact oil prices, making this a pivotal moment for global energy markets.
