WTI

WTI rises to test key resistanceCrude oil prices rose on Monday, making back its losses from Friday and some. While there is hope for increased fuel demand as we head to the summer months, today’s recovery comes on the back of a three-week drop. Prices have been held back in recent weeks because of various factors, ranging from concerns over increased non-OPEC supply and worries about the demand outlook, due, among other reasons, to diminished hopes over imminent US interest rate cuts. The strong dollar recovery is also weighing on sentiment in the oil market. But with prices shedding more than 10% from their April highs, the bulls feel the downside could be more limited moving forward. However, a revisit of last week’s lows of around $72.50 on WTI remains the more probable outcome than a sharp recovery. Key macro events in this week include US inflation data and the Federal Reserve’s rate decision on Wednesday, both of which could significantly impact the US dollar and, consequently, buck-denominated commodities like gold and oil. Oil prices closed off well off the lows last week The crude oil selling resumed on Friday after a two-day pause. While the losses were milder than earlier in the week and less severe than the drop in metals, this was due to a strong jobs report and positive services PMI data that alleviated fears of weakening demand in the US. Nonetheless, concerns over China persisted, leading to lower prices for the week. Investors were also spooked by the sell-off in other commodities like copper and silver. The selling on oil was also driven by speculative long positions being pared last week by managed funds and large speculators. Not only that but they also increased their short positions last week, resulting in a decrease in net-long exposure. According to positioning data from the CFTC, managed funds increased their short positions by 27.2k contracts, while large speculators increased theirs by 22.1k contracts (21.9%). This positioning data reflects the market response to OPEC's decision to extend oil production cuts. It suggests that traders either anticipated more aggressive support for prices from OPEC, are concerned about declining demand due to a slowing economy, or likely a combination of both factors. Why did all major commodities fall on Friday? The sharp fall in major commodity prices on Friday was driven by a rally in the US dollar, which negatively impacts dollar-denominated commodities. This rally was triggered by stronger-than-expected jobs growth, even though part-time jobs contributed to this increase. Metals were already under pressure prior to the jobs report due to concerns over lower-than-expected Chinese demand for industrial metals and rising copper stockpiles. Additionally, the People’s Bank of China halting its gold purchases in May after an 18-month streak also pressured precious metals, contributing to bearish sentiment in the commodities market. What has been driving oil prices recently? Oil prices have been primarily driven lower by demand concerns and an increase in non-OPEC supply. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), there is a significant surplus of oil this year, largely due to the growth in US shale production. Consistently weak manufacturing data worldwide has heightened demand concerns. This was particularly evident when crude oil prices dropped to their lowest level since February following weak US factory data. The OPEC+ decision to extend output cuts failed to support oil prices as it was already priced in, and there are worries about phasing out voluntary output cuts amid rising non-OPEC supply. However, with the US driving season underway, demand might pick up, potentially slowing or reversing the sell-off. Currently, no strong bullish reversal signs have been observed, however, which means the short-term path pf least resistance on oil remains to the downside. Crude Oil Technical Analysis The recent drop in oil prices has established a clear resistance level between $76.00 and $76.50 on WTI, which was tested and held on Friday. This will be a crucial resistance area to monitor in the coming week. As long as prices remain below this zone, the bearish trend is expected to continue. There was an oversold bounce last week, but a decline towards the support trend of the bearish channel, around the $73.00 mark or slightly below, is possible this week. WTI has been stuck in a bearish channel since peaking in April. The next major support level below the bearish channel is at $70.00, followed by the December low at $67.87. However, if WTI were to reclaim the old broken support area between $76.00 and $76.50, it could signal a bullish trend, potentially leading to technical buying towards the top of the bearish channel, between $78.00 and $79.00.

#202424 - a weekly price action market recap and outlook - oilGood Evening and I hope you are well. wti crude oil futures Quote from last week: bear case: Bears sold 80 again and will probably take profits here at 77 or try to get 76 again. If they get a breakout below, we will probably test 75, which is a price I thought we would test for 5-7 weeks now. It’s a bad sell here at 77 for bears so best they can get is sideways movement. comment: Fair to say that bears surprised me big time on Monday with the huge follow through selling through previous bigger support. 72 stopped the fall and created an expected bounce. I do think this was W5 and my bearish targets are all met for now. Market should move sideways to up from here. On Friday we got a perfect retest of the breakout price of 76 and that was resistance for now. Worst case scenario for bulls would be to stay below 76. The bull trend line will get retested and should hold for now. current market cycle: Bear trend which could transition into a trading range here key levels: 72-78 bull case: The best the bulls can hope for, is for the lows to hold and to move sideways and hit the daily ema again. They failed at keeping it above 75, which was huge support. Last bear leg inside this bigger trading range was 11 weeks long from high to low and we are currently at 9 weeks. Bulls will want to find support here around 70-72 and trade back up to at least 78 over the next 8-12 weeks. Invalidation is below 71. bear case: Huge bear surprise imo on Monday and bears want to keep it max bearish and they will do that by keeping the market below the breakout price around 76 and below the daily ema. They want a retest of 72.5 again and poke the bull trend line enough for bulls to give up there. If they actually get an acceleration of this bear trend, which is the low probability thing, they could retest 70 next and below 70 comes 67 as support. Invalidation is above 80.5. outlook last week: “R:R is on the bull side here at the bottom of this range. I wait for confirmation on Monday before going long for 80 again. Below 76 we could get to 75 but that would require strong momentum for me to go short down here.” → Last Sunday we traded 76.99 and now we are at 75.53. High of the week was 77.52 so the uber bearish price action, was surprising to me. I did not advise you to be bullish, unless there confirmation for the bulls and obviously that did not happen. So my bearish target of 75, if we go below 76, was alright but way too short of 72.48. Not a good outlook. short term: Neutral because I think we will hit the daily ema again and a retest of 72.5ish. I am not a fortune teller so I don’t know which comes first. medium-long term: We are seeing the big triangle playing out between 73 and 83. The high of the triangle got tested until mid of April and we have now tested the lows around 72.5. Market will probably move more inside this big range until we get a new big cycle to either side. current swing trade: None chart update: Added my pretty bear channel, adjusted 5-wave series and added a two-legged pullback, which we are probably in as of now. The red ABC is how I imagine it to play out price-wise, not time wise. We should see a retest of the lows as well as the daily ema. I don’t know which comes before what or when. Also adjusted the big bear trend line from 2022.

CRUDE OIL (CL): Weak Momentum Likely to Persist?Assalamualaikum wbt and Good Day to fellow traders! From my rather simplistic view, the overall two-hour time frame (TF2hr) chart seems to indicate that the prices for WTI Light Crude Oil ( NYMEX:CL1! ) could go further south at least for the time being. The further potential weakness is being reinforced by the significant key moving averages (in this case Exponential Moving Averages or EMAs ) - the EMA50 (blue line) and EMA200 (amber line) - in which the Black Gold sits below those lines since April 17, 2024. Despite several rebound attempts, the commodity has continued to slide downwards making some notable Lower Lows and Lower Highs until recently last Friday while trading range-bound in between. In addition, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator also flashed a cautious sell signal last Friday following a cross over. On top of that, the obvious rejection at the 76.03-76.30 key level could possibly suggest that the bearish momentum is still in play. However, a bullish reversal may occur should the MACD crossover take place above the 0 line with the help of a significant volume, as well as the two EMAs crossing up. Wallahu a'lam. #cl #crudeoil #wti #blackgold #exponentialmovingaverage #ema #macd

CRUDE OIL (WTI): Your Trading Plan For Next Week WTI Crude Oil is trading in a bearish trend on a daily. For the entire month of May, the market is consolidating within a horizontal range. I believe that a bearish trend will continue after a violation of the support of the range. I am waiting for its breakout to sell the market. A daily candle close below 75.5 will confirm a violation. A bearish wave will be anticipated at least to 72.5 level then. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

OIL (WTI) - 4H Three PushThe WTI Oil 4H chart displays a classic bullish reversal pattern, often referred to as the "three pushes" or "three drives" pattern. This pattern is characterized by three distinct attempts by the market to push lower, each attempt being met with increasing buying interest. The current setup shows that after three downward pushes, the price has started to rebound, indicating a potential shift in momentum from bearish to bullish. The price action has recently broken above the upper boundary of the descending wedge, which suggests a weakening bearish trend and the possibility of a new bullish phase. The target for this bullish movement could be around the $84 level, where previous resistance lies. Traders should watch for continued higher highs and higher lows to confirm the upward trajectory, and consider long positions as the price action aligns with this bullish reversal signal.

Crude Oil: Long Position Amidst Support and SeasonalityWe are considering a long position on crude oil, given that the price has reached a significant support area. This support level is reinforced by a divergence observed on the Relative Strength Index (RSI), suggesting a potential reversal in the current trend. Additionally, seasonality data supports the likelihood of a bullish movement during this period. The convergence of these technical indicators and historical trends strengthens our conviction for a long setup. The RSI divergence indicates that the recent downward momentum may be waning, while the support area provides a strong foundation for a potential price rebound. Furthermore, seasonality data, which highlights recurring patterns in price behavior during specific times of the year, suggests that crude oil prices are poised for an upward movement. In light of these factors, we are looking to establish a long position on crude oil, capitalizing on the technical setup and historical data that align to suggest a favorable entry point for a bullish trade.
