USOIL REACHED THE 6,900.00 SUPPORT LEVEL. WHAT'S NEXT?USOIL REACHED THE 6,900.00 SUPPORT LEVEL. WHAT'S NEXT?
As we told July 31, the price got reversed towards first support level of 6,900.00. Market participants are waiting for the OPEC+ meeting this week, expecting a significant output hike. Currently, the price sits slightly above the support level. Although, the asset trades above this level, considering the current weakness of the asset, further decline is expected. The 6,800.00 support level is the next target here.
OIL - Likely development on the 4hr/daily scenarioThis looks like the likely scenario that will now develop on oil on the 4hr/daily timeframe.
In other words, we will look for an upside from now on first, back to the 0.618 re-tracement of the huge downside impulse that occurred in the last week of June.
So all buy setups we will be able to take until price hits the $72 area, then we will start looking for sells.
USOIL WTIWest Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil is a major benchmark for crude oil pricing, known for its high quality—being both light and sweet due to its low sulfur content and low density. WTI is sourced primarily from inland Texas and is the underlying commodity for oil futures traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The main physical delivery point is Cushing, Oklahoma, a critical U.S. oil storage and trading hub.
Current Price (as of August 1, 2025)
WTI crude oil is trading around $69.15–$69.36 per barrel.
Recently, WTI prices have seen volatility due to global economic factors, including U.S. tariffs, OPEC+ production, and shifts in oil demand. Despite a small decline on the day, oil prices have posted their strongest weekly performance since June, rising over 6% for the week.
Market and Outlook
Recent price movement reflects concerns about global trade tensions, new tariffs, and their impact on economic growth and energy demand. At the same time, supply risks remain due to geopolitical factors such as potential sanctions on Russian oil and U.S.-China trade developments.
Analyst forecasts for the remainder of 2025 suggest continued volatility, with WTI potentially ranging between $56 and $73 per barrel, influenced by demand, OPEC+ decisions, and geopolitical events.

Oil prices rebound, maintain bullish attitude
💡Message Strategy
International oil prices continued their upward trend on Thursday, closing higher for the fourth consecutive day, as concerns about growing global supply tightness abounded. Brent crude for September delivery rose 0.4% to $73.51 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude for September delivery rose 0.5% to $70.37 a barrel, while the more active Brent October contract rose 0.4% to $72.76 a barrel.
Recently, the market has focused on the statement of US President Trump, who demanded that Russia make "substantial progress" on the situation in Ukraine within 10-12 days, otherwise he would impose 100% secondary tariffs on its trading partners, significantly bringing forward the previous 50-day deadline.
Inventory data suggests a continued struggle between supply and demand. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) showed that U.S. crude oil inventories unexpectedly rose by 7.7 million barrels to 426.7 million barrels in the week ending July 25, far exceeding expectations for a 1.3 million barrel drop. However, gasoline inventories fell by 2.7 million barrels to 228.4 million barrels, exceeding market expectations for a 600,000 barrel drop.
📊Technical aspects
From a daily perspective, WTI crude oil prices have closed higher for four consecutive days since rebounding from the $66 level. It is currently running stably above the integer mark of $70 per barrel. The short-term moving average system is in a bullish arrangement, and the MACD indicator remains above the zero axis, indicating that the bullish momentum is still strong.
From an hourly perspective, if the price breaks through the previous high of $70.50, it is expected to further rise to the $73.50-$75 range. Conversely, if it continues to fall below the $70 mark, it may trigger short-term profit-taking, and further support will focus on the $68.50 level. Overall, the short-term trend remains bullish.

Crude Oil: Buying Pressure StrengthensFenzoFx—Crude Oil maintained its bullish trend with an ideal dip for entry on July 25. Stochastic and RSI 14 indicate overbought conditions, suggesting intensified buying pressure. A breakout seen yesterday reinforces the bullish bias.
Our projection remains optimistic, targeting a move toward the Fair Value Gap zone, extending to $73.8. However, if Oil closes below the $69.3 support, the bullish outlook will be invalidated.
USOIL IS GOING BULLISH. FOR HOW LONG?USOIL IS GOING BULLISH. FOR HOW LONG?
Brent has started this week with a strong bullish momentum and holds near 6-week high on supply fears. President Trump announced plans to impose tariffs on Indian exports and penalize its Russian oil imports. In a parallel move, the US introduced its most extensive sanctions on Iran in seven years. The United States has even offered its oil to the world in exchange for Iranian and Russian oil, but there is evidence that the US production capacity is now at historic highs and is unlikely to grow in the near future.
However, technically oil shows us bearish divergence on RSI and bearish wedge here. The price may reverse towards 6,900.00 as a first target. EIA data showed US crude inventories jumped by 7.7 million barrels last week—the largest increase in six months and defying forecasts for a decline. Market participants are waiting for the OPEC+ meeting this week, expecting a significant output hike.
Crude Oil’s $70 Surge Still Faces 3-Year Channel ResistanceAlthough news points to a crude oil price surge, technical analysis indicates price cap risks remain within the borders of a 3-year descending channel.
Should a clear hold emerge above the $70 barrier, the bullish rebound in price action from the $64.40 zone, in line with the weekly RSI’s rebound off the neutral 50 zone, may extend toward the channel’s upper boundary at $72.40, $74.40, and $77 in more extreme scenarios.
A confirmed hold above the $77–78 zone may shift the primary trend away from bearish dominance and pave the way for longer-term bullish forecasts.
On the downside, if a price drop results in a clean break below the $64 barrier, downside risks may extend toward the mid-zone of the long-standing channel, with potential support levels at $63.20, $61.80, and $59.70, respectively.

Xmoon Indicator Tutorial – Part 2 – Pivots🔻🔻🔻+ Persian translation below 🔻🔻🔻
🔹 What Is a Pivot?
In the Xmoon strategy, every high or low that forms on the chart is considered a pivot.
The number of candles between two highs or two lows defines the size of the pivot.
The more candles there are between them, the larger and more reliable the pivot becomes.
🔸 Types of Pivots in the Xmoon Indicator Settings
In the settings panel, you can choose which types of pivots the patterns should be based on.
There are 4 pivot types :
• Super Minor → the smallest pivot
• Minor
• Mid Major
• Major → the largest pivot
⏫ As you move from Super Minor to Major, the strength of the pivot increases — but the number of signals decreases.
⚖️ Choosing the Right Pivot = Your Trading Style
• Want more signals? → Use smaller pivots like Minor or Super Minor
• Prefer higher accuracy and lower risk? → Use larger pivots like Major or Mid Major
💡 Pro Tip: On higher timeframes, pivots perform better and help reduce risk.
✍️ Summary
If you're looking for frequent signals, trade on lower timeframes, and can handle higher volatility and pressure, then smaller pivots like Super Minor and Minor are a better choice.
But if you prefer quality over quantity, work on higher timeframes, and value clarity, peace of mind, and higher success rates, then larger pivots like Mid Major and Major are the way to go.

🔹 پیوت چیست؟
در استراتژی ایکسمون، هر قله یا درهای که روی چارت شکل میگیرد، یک پیوت محسوب می شود
فاصله زمانی بین دو قله یا دو دره (یعنی تعداد کندلهایی که بینشان قرار دارد) اندازهی پیوت را مشخص میکند
هرچه تعداد کندل بین دو سقف یا کف بیشتر باشد، آن پیوت بزرگتر و معتبرتر است
🔸 انواع پیوت در تنظیمات اندیکاتور ایکسمون
در بخش تنظیمات، میتوانید مشخص کنید که الگوها بر اساس چه نوع پیوتهایی شناسایی شوند
ما ۴ نوع پیوت داریم
• سوپر مینور ← کوچکترین پیوت
• مینور
• میدماژور
• ماژور ← بزرگترین پیوت
⏫ هرچه از سوپرمینور به سمت ماژور برویم، قدرت پیوت بیشتر میشود، ولی تعداد سیگنالها کمتر می شود
⚖️ انتخاب پیوت مناسب = سبک معاملاتی شما
• به دنبال سیگنال زیاد هستید ← پیوت کوچک تر = مینور و سوپرمینور
• به دنبال دقت بیشتر و ریسک کمتر هستید← پیوت بزرگتر = ماژور و میدماژور
💡 نکته حرفهای: در تایمفریمهای بالا، پیوتها عملکرد بهتری دارند و به کنترل ریسک کمک میکنند
✍️ جمعبندی
اگر دنبال سیگنالهای زیاد هستید، در تایمفریمهای کوچکتر کار میکنید و میتونید نوسانات و فشار روانی بالاتر رو تحمل کنید، پیوتهای کوچکتر مثل سوپرمینور و مینور انتخاب مناسبتری هستند
اما اگر در تایم فریم های بزرگتر کار می کنید و کیفیت سیگنال، آرامش ذهنی و احتمال موفقیت برایتان مهمتر است، پیوتهای بزرگتر مثل میدماژور و ماژور انتخاب بهتری هستند

WTI remains supported on Russia sanctions threatIt is worth keeping an eye on the energy markets, given the recent bounce from a key support area around $65.00. With WTI moving back above the 200-day average at $68.00, this is an additional bullish sign from a technical standpoint. This level is now the first support to watch, followed by $67.00 and then that $65.00 key level.
Resistance comes in at $70.00 followed by $72.80.
From a macro point of view, President Trump’s decision to bring forward the deadline for Russia to agree to a ceasefire has ever so slightly heightened the prospect of secondary sanctions being imposed on foreign purchasers of Russian crude — namely China, India, and Turkey. There is a risk we could see a spike in oil prices, if fears of Russian supply being curtailed, intensifies. At the same time, fears about demand have receded with the announcement of a few trade deals by the US and recent economic data from Europe and the US both showing mild strength.
By Fawad Razaqzada, market analyst with FOREX.com.
WTI OIL The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which U.S. banks and credit unions lend their excess reserve balances to other banks overnight, usually on an uncollateralized basis. This rate is set as a target range by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC), which is the policymaking arm of the Federal Reserve. The current target range as of July 2025 is approximately 4.25% to 4.5%.
The federal funds rate is a key benchmark that influences broader interest rates across the economy, including loans, credit cards, and mortgages. When the Fed changes this rate, it indirectly affects borrowing costs for consumers and businesses. For example, increasing the rate makes borrowing more expensive and tends to slow down economic activity to control inflation, while lowering the rate stimulates growth by making credit cheaper.
The Fed adjusts this rate based on economic conditions aiming to maintain stable prices and maximum employment. It is a vital tool of U.S. monetary policy, impacting economic growth, inflation, and financial markets.
In summary:
It is the overnight lending rate between banks for reserve balances.
It is set as a target range by the Federal Reserve's FOMC.
It influences many other interest rates in the economy.
Current range (July 2025) is about 4.25% to 4.5%.
1. ADP Non-Farm Employment Change (Forecast: +82K, Previous: -33K)
Above Forecast:
If ADP employment is much stronger than expected, the Fed would see this as a sign of ongoing labor market resilience. Robust job growth would support consumer spending, potentially keep wage pressures elevated, and could make the Fed less likely to ease policy soon. This reinforces the case for holding rates steady or staying data-dependent on further cuts.
Below Forecast or Negative:
If ADP jobs gain falls short or is negative again, the Fed may interpret it as a weakening labor market, raising recession risk and reducing inflationary wage pressures. This outcome could increase the chances of a future rate cut or prompt a more dovish tone, provided it aligns with other softening indicators.
2. Advance GDP q/q (Forecast: +2.4%, Previous: -0.5%)
Above Forecast:
A GDP print above 2.4% signals surprisingly strong economic growth and likely sustains the Fed’s view that the U.S. economy is avoiding recession. The Fed may delay rate cuts or take a more cautious approach, as stronger growth can support higher inflation or at least reduce the urgency for support.
Below Forecast or Negative:
Weak GDP—especially if close to zero or negative—would signal that the economy remains at risk of stagnation or recession. The Fed may then pivot to a more dovish stance, become more willing to cut rates, or accelerate discussions on easing to avoid a downturn.
3. Advance GDP Price Index q/q (Forecast: 2.3%, Previous: 3.8%)
Above Forecast:
A significantly higher-than-expected GDP Price Index (an inflation measure) points to persistent or resurgent inflationary pressures in the economy. The Fed might see this as a reason to delay cuts or maintain restrictive rates for longer.
Below Forecast:
If the Price Index prints well below 2.3%, it suggests that inflation is cooling faster than anticipated. This outcome could allow the Fed to move toward easing policy if other conditions warrant, as price stability is more clearly in hand.
Bottom Line Table: Data Surprises and Likely Fed Reaction
Data Surprise Fed Outlook/Action
All above forecast Hawkish bias, rate cuts delayed or on hold
All below forecast Dovish bias, higher chances of rate cut
Mixed Data-dependent, further confirmation needed
Summary:
The Fed’s interpretation hinges on how these figures compare to forecasts and to each other. Stronger growth, jobs, and inflation = less rush to cut; weaker numbers = lower rates sooner. If growth or jobs are especially weak or inflation falls sharply, expect more dovish Fed commentary and a greater likelihood of future easing. Conversely, if the data all surprise to the upside, hawkish (rate-hold) messaging is likely to persist.
The U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) is a financial benchmark that measures the value of the United States dollar relative to a basket of six major foreign currencies. It provides a weighted average reflecting the dollar's strength or weakness against these currencies. The DXY is widely used by traders, investors, and economists to gauge the overall performance and health of the U.S. dollar on the global stage.
Key Features of the DXY:
Currencies included and their weights:
Euro (EUR) – 57.6%
Japanese Yen (JPY) – 13.6%
British Pound (GBP) – 11.9%
Canadian Dollar (CAD) – 9.1%
Swedish Krona (SEK) – 4.2%
Swiss Franc (CHF) – 3.6%
It was established in 1973 after the collapse of the Bretton Woods system to serve as a dynamic measure of the dollar's value.
The index reflects changes in the exchange rates of theses versus the U.S. dollar, with a higher DXY indicating a stronger dollar.
The DXY influences global trade dynamics, commodity prices (like oil and gold)

WTI is up on my radarPrice closed above daily GM, travelled, and now retraced back to the GM..
For now, I'll be BULLISH biased and look for Buy setup on the lower time frames..
Price took out the Asian high, then gave a bearish coh triggering the backside (bearish) move of the Buy set up..
Note that the backside move is more of the manipulative move.
Price has now taken out the Asian low and come into the daily PRZ..this is an early sign that the backside move is likely coming to an end..
We wait to a see bullish coh for more confirmation, then look for complete buy set up to pull the trigger.
WTI uptrend pause support at 6857The WTI Crude remains in a bullish trend, with recent price action showing signs of a corrective pullback within the broader uptrend.
Support Zone: 6857 – a key level from previous consolidation. Price is currently testing or approaching this level.
A bullish rebound from 6857 would confirm ongoing upside momentum, with potential targets at:
7123 – initial resistance
7225 – psychological and structural level
7299 – extended resistance on the longer-term chart
Bearish Scenario:
A confirmed break and daily close below 6857 would weaken the bullish outlook and suggest deeper downside risk toward:
6783 – minor support
6735 – stronger support and potential demand zone
Outlook:
Bullish bias remains intact while the WTI Crude holds above 6734. A sustained break below this level could shift momentum to the downside in the short term.
