As the content creator for the Beyond 50 Radio Show, here is special interview with Charlotte Dennett, the author of "Follow the Pipelines". She talks about the deadly politics of the Great Game of Oil within the Middle East that's little known history, focusing on Israel, Palestine, Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. Find out about the Trans Arabian Pipeline (called TAPLINE).
Dennett's father was America's first Master Spy in the Middle East for the CIA about 80 years ago and knew the game plan that's playing out today as Pipeline Wars. Mr. Dennett died mysteriously in a plane crash during a secret mission to Saudi Arabia.
WTI While I'm waiting for Santa to arrive, I thought I'd take a peek at the charts before the market closes today at 1 p.m. (New York Time).
On the Hourly, it's in Bullish Market Bias after the rally from the S&R Zone earlier that crossed above the Bullish Trendline (in green dotted line) to flip the market bias from Bearish to Bullish.
Along the rally that is a "clean bull run" without a bearish candle within it, a Spinning Top and Exhaustion candle formed, which means that a reversal pattern is coming.
Be careful because a bearish reversal can either be a retest of the trendline and then go back up OR a "clean bear run" with no bullish candle to match the previous "clean bull run".
Take a look on the chart at what's above and below the candles as their obstacle course.
USOIL Oil seems to be walking a tightrope between supply and demand right now. Just the slightest news can push it significantly higher or lower for the session while staying in the short term trading range.
Biggest wildcard: One errant missile from Russia into Ukraine that causes mass casualties or takes out some leaders in Kyiv (or a missile from Ukraine into Russia that connects with a bigger oil production facility) could bring that war back to top of the fold and send WTI above 75 in 2 trading sessions or less.
