Natural Gas / NG - Act II: A Number That Starts With "2"My previous call on natural gas made Sept. 19 has come to fruition, achieving all three targets, and in a shorter than expected period of time:
Natural Gas / NG - It's Officially a Bear. Now, Hold My Beer
The question I've asked myself for the last few days is simply: Now that the June lows have been taken out, is it time for a reversal?
And frankly, I don't believe a (sustained) reversal is imminent, mostly because I really do believe $18 NG1 is incoming and these market makers, who are total maniacs, will not make it so easy for one to go long.
Things to keep in mind when we're so close to the end of the month and major lows have been achieved:
1. Look out for bounces as monthly candle wicks are painted
2. Look out for monthly candle highs to be painted in the first days/weeks of November
3. Big volume gaps between $6.3 and $5. "It's only 23%!"
4. Big bounce from $4.9 to $5.3 June lows are likely
Trendlines are astrology, for real. Stop believing in them. No banks and no trading floors at Shell, Exxon, Aramco, Gazprom, are sitting there thinking of what to do with billions of dollars of inventory and drawing a diagonal line between two lows and thinking to themselves about such and such "support." That is truly absurd.
Yet, you should pay attention to these things because, to the contrary, they're used to fleece dumb money. The markets revolve around fleecing dumb money, and there are entire funds with billions of dollars of dumb money.
To put this trendline into perspective, although it looks reasonable on the 4H, look how absurd this is on the monthly:
That being said, it's also reasonable on the 1W and 1D charts:
&
We are notably at that point, below the psychological $5 level and more or less at the trendline, and at the end of the month. When June made its Armageddon move downwards it came right as the monthly contract closed, so I personally do not expect a repeat of the same situation.
I think a bounce to $5.3 is more or less inevitable, and I suspect rather than break through it and act like Silver/Gold/WTI has retracing to newer highs, it will bounce off the low and manufacture the kind of "resistance" found in technical analysis books to encourage late shorts.
Early November may actually show us a more bullish impulse back to $6, but keep in mind that to get back to that mid-October weekly gap would more or less fill the entire October monthly bar with a November wick, so that gap is likely a breakaway gap that will stay in place for some time.
Anyways, what I expect to see is after some retrace to catch late shorts and squeeze and break them, as well as to exploit early bulls, we will see a retrace, one that won't last long and will probably be quickly accompanied by another breakaway gap.
I believe that natural gas will, in a very quick period of time, actually print a number as low as $2.9, a move that will be accompanied by WTI also setting new lows and approaching $50, as I noted in a recent call:
WTI Crude Oil / CL1 - Accumulation Before Global Conflict
Europe has already filled their coffers with $9-10 US LNG delivered via boat and until they need to refill the barrels in a few months after Freeport is re-opened, prices should be suppressed as producers and funds get net long on energy.
The reason is, problems between NATO and Russia and problems between the World and the Chinese Communist Party under the new found "Emperor" Xi and his delusional miscalculation to stay attached to Marxist-Leninism and communism will lead the Party to either attack Russia alongside NATO or to pinch both Russia and NATO with an assault on Taiwan.
Energy will be _extremely_ expensive everywhere once the global conflict breaks out. But as with all such moves, first come lows that are more uncomfortable than early bulls and scared bears are comfortable with.
2023 will not be a pleasant year, so make sure you do your utmost to have a proper Christmas with your family and act like a good person.
Whoever you are who is reading this, what I want to tell you is this: If you want a future, you need to start by first rejecting communist culture, especially all things Marxist-Leninism.
Next, you need to reject the Chinese Communist Party, for it is guilty of the crime of live organ harvesting genocide against Falun Gong and will be purged by history.
Third, you need to start to emphasize virtue and improve your conduct and morality on a foundation of traditional human culture.
I am not talking about dogma, and I am not talking about religion. Both of those are totally useless. I am talking about a rational understanding of what it means to be "a human being," the things that have allowed this civilization and this cycle of history to persist over the last 5,000 years, founded on the back of the Chinese dynasties.
There are so many lessons in history. I hope that whoever has the fortune to encounter my words can walk out of the catastrophe. But if your thoughts are unrighteous, then if you can't, you can't.
Regrets, however, will be no help at all.
It's just like poker: you have to figure it out and have your bets placed before the cards are turned face up. Once the truth is revealed, everything is fixed.
Brent: Wax your Skis ⛷️Brent accomplished the climb above the $86.06-mark and should continue to rise to finish the blue wave . Once completed, we see the course heading for a steep downwards slope to dip right into the green target zone between $77.13 and $42.20. Within the target zone, we expect the Oil to sink further to end the blue wave around the $62-mark, before rising back North to wrap up the blue wave . Followed by another correction, the course should dig deeper and get closer to the bottom of the green target zone, in order to finalize the green wave .
USDWTI D1 - Short SignalUSDWTI D1 - Still lots pending at the moment with regards to the dollar, we are starting the week off bullish, with the dollar up .15$% on the day, cable down .25%, XAU down .27% and WTI down a huge 0.5% so far... Hoping to see deeper corrections. But ultimately, we need this D1 candle on these ***USD setups to close red. Back on that heavy $80/b psychological price
Could we get a $10 drop in OilIf we get a good NFP number tomorrow, does that mean the US jobs market is strong? What will the Fed do? Raise rates, increase QT?
Fundamentally we should be seeing lower GDP, lower wages, lower demand and with that lower Oil.
Technically, we have higher GDP, stable wages, mixed changes in demand and lower oil.
This EOD strategy has been set, and now we just forget until we get to TP 1. Then for the remainder of the position, we get to BE and start trailling.
Todays stronger dollar on the back of ADP numbers, will repeat tomorrow on strong NFP numbers, or reverse if NFP comes in under the consensus.
Lower oil, on stronger USD, is also very bullish for Japan's economy as they are an energy importer. You will have to pick a side if trading USDJPY but it could be messy.
UKOIL Due for 4X Growth in Value Over 4 to 5 YearsBased on the macro wavemap for UKOIL, its fairly safe to assume that the value of this commodity will increase by 396% over the next 4 to 5 years. Seemingly in a Flat corrective wave, the new all-time high near $324 should send price to retest the $60 range (at the highest).

USOILOil prints this great weekly candle, which suggests that price is going to revert back into Value, and deems the excessively high oil prices as a tad overpriced, which is great. We have this big weekly pin inside the range of the previous candle, and typically these produce some great trades as the bearish pressure starts to build, we can look to aim for three trade points from here. Enjoy.
USOIL - Getting Slippery 💧Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst.
on MONTHLY: Left Chart
USOIL is sitting around a strong support zone 70.0 - 75.0 , so we will be looking for buy setups on lower timeframes.
🏹 on H1: Right Chart
For the bulls to take over, we need a break above the previous major high in gray.
Meanwhile, until the buy is activated, USOIL can still trade lower inside the monthly resistance zone till around the 70.0 where we will be looking for new buy setups.
📚 Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management.
Good luck!

TSX Energy XEG 12.66 2022 Low and more ?I was overweight energy for most of 2022 selling my exposure around the summer and the remaining in the fall.
It was not and easy decision but the trend in WTI and Brent prices was too bearish to ignore.
Seems to me now It's only a matter of time we take out the 2022 low of 12.66, the more intriguing question is where we go once we get there ?
On the weekly timeframe top left we can see the 50 weekly ma acting as support for most of 2022 now we appear to be losing it.
The Daily timeframe top right we can see the 20 day ma the black line has finally crossed below the 200 day ma you have to go back to January 2020 the last time this took place and before that fall 2018. Seems obvious it's only a matter of time before all moving averages are below the 200 on the daily.
I am a long term energy bull due to the supply constraints we are facing and lack of investment but for the beginning of 2023 first quarter at least with calls for a recession growing I don't see the upside for Oil or energy stocks, yes I know they pay great dividends but I don' t think this will save them from a market downturn.
I am patiently waiting on my cash to re enter this sector ideally in the spring
Crude Oil (WTI) Classic Trend-Following Setup 🛢️
Crude Oil nicely reacted to a confluence zone based on a horizontal daily structure support and fib.retracement levels.
The price broke and closed above a resistance line of a bullish flag pattern on 4H.
I believe the market will go higher after a pullback.
Goals will be 79.5 / 80.89

Brent Crude Oil: Potential for a further corrective move higherCurrent price remains below its 40 week moving average (200 days) which indicates that the longer term trend is lower (100 days or more), however, the scope for a further near term (25 to 50) corrective upside rally from the November high - December low remains on the table, provided the key resistance near $85.05 can be overcome for prospective extension move towards the $91.66 (50% retracement from the 52 week high/low); downside risk seen near the $78.3 support.
Crude Oil (WTI): Bullish Outlook 🛢️
We have spotted earlier a confirmed breakout of a resistance line of a falling wedge pattern.
The price closed above that on a daily.
I believe that the next goal for buyers will be 81.4
I will expect a bullish continuation to there.
