4 hour analysis. US OIL.

 

With the  breakdown in US Oil below the $52.80 support, the price can be seen pushing outside the Bollinger band on two occasions.I have highlighted the WEEKLY support level of $48.60 ( established at the midpoint support of the primary move up on the 28th November) this chart now highlights the traders adage of dont catch a falling knife.
The upper bollinger band has now turned back towards the price action suggesting the volatility is falling.

With this type of price action underway look for a base to be set with an outside period or bullish hammer and pivot bar.
Then an entry signal with effective stops can be taken following the break of recent highs.

Avoid the risk of second guessing a low is in, as this contract can trade lower in current uncertainty around OPEC cuts.

The original analysis can be seen on IG TV here ->      https://www.ig.com/au/market-insight-videos?bctid=5354360569001&bclid=3671160850001

Oil just got interesting, with the Fakeout low followed by the inside period.

bolliinger bands contracting with the price back over the $48.60 key level.

Agressive price action traders have taken an entry on the move over the high of the inside period.
The long range bar set at the close looks to be a short cover,

Resistance at the middle avaergae of the bollinger would be montiored, still looking for a break of $50.50

The play out of OIL in the 4 hour is complete with the 3 spike lows completing the basing pattern.
While it can never be known when a price will reverse, the trading technique is looking for a set up that can be proven.

The key to this pattern has been the move above the lower high $48.40. The first break over a high  with 3 spike lows in the background.  *This pattern showed up in daily Copper last week.

Staying with the 4 hour chart of US Crude:  from the base set during March and the following rally into the $54 levels, clear reversal took place with the rejection period and lower high. The following price action gave plenty of indication of price weakness as the 20 period centre Bollinger band average provided resistance until the capitulation move back to $50.50. The following price action simply walked down the lower Bollinger band.
All hindsight analysis.

So here we are at the right hand edge with a potential buy set up unfolding with a very specific stop loss.
On the 20th and 21st of April the Relative strength indicator almost gave a swing buy signal, where the price makes a new closing low but the RSI swings higher over a previous high.

The same signal is highlighted again and is now complete.
Point (1) shows the price making a low with the RSI below the "30" level, nothing unusual in that, the following price rally too point (2) saw the RSI swing back over the "30" level. Ay point (3) the price makes a new closing low at $49.10 but the RSI fails to make a new low ©. The following bullish price range, not only an outside bar but a high close in that bar is the first alert signal.

The RSI has swung back over the (b) high point giving a swing buy signal, the 2nd signal.
In the overnight session an outside high close bar is the final signal and gives a valid STOP LOSS level at the low of $49.00 on a long position.
With the general observation of the RSI swinging over the (50) level along with a higher high, only suggests price momentum to the upside.

Why is the price that I see for US crude oil and Brent crude oil on IG index different from what I see on Bloomberg by about 100 basis points?

IG quote a continuous price as a $ cash contract, so there is no "rollover"

 

Or you can also trade the specific month contract with an expiry date.

Having a big down day today, may well be looking to retest the long term trend line if it can break through the $50 long term support/resistance level. Oil has been particularly difficult to trade for some time now, OPEC keep trying to find mechanisms to push price up (production cuts, press releases etc) but always run into the spectre of US shale which becomes profitable around $50. As price goes higher US shale production increases and brings price down again.

Not surprising price continues to coil ever tighter about the $50 mark but oil will always be susceptible to geo/political news breaks.

    • In general, I will start with the fact that I was looking for a cube would be possible to invest money to multiply Some bets, stock exchanges didn't really work for me. I decided to look for something really worthwhile. In general I got to cryptocurrency, studied it for a while and tried to get into it. Then I got interested in all sorts of nft, metaverse, and so on And then I found a quite interesting and fresh project It's called Sabai Ecoverse. There, and you can earn from zero, and multiply the capital. In general, I just started to get into it. Can you also look at and say your opinion, please

    • The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a so-called Wells notice on Coinbase which saw the stock down heavily after-hours last night on Wall Street.    Jeremy Naylor | Analyst, London | Publication date: Thursday 23 March 2023  This is a document indicating that the SEC is preparing to act against some parts of the business. IGTV’s Jeremy Naylor explains that as the story develops, and more is heard, traders will be able to make a better judgment. Coinbase shares plunge The crypto exchange Coinbase fell more than 22% yesterday late in the session, all-sessions on the IG platform, it trades outside of hours, and it was this trading that represented a big drop in the share price. Share price chart Let's take a look at what happened because it explains the situation quite well. We have subsequently this morning seen a little bit of a rebound, but that 22% drop came after the company was issued a so-called Wells notice by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Wells notice is often one of the final steps before the SEC formally issues charges against the business, generally laying out the framework for what happens next. So we've got this drop that came through last night. We've subsequently seen a little bit of a rise on the session. CNBC said last night that based on discussions with the staff that potentially enforcement actions would relate to aspects of the company's spot market staking service, Coinbase Earn, Coinbase Prime and also the Coinbase Wallet business. Now the SEC is on high alert in the crypto industry in the wake of the failure of FTX. The recent gains we've seen in Coinbase have really all been about what's been happening with Bitcoin. Bitcoin has risen a whopping 47 and three quarter percent from the lows we had back on the 10th of March, all the way up to the highs we saw on Wednesday, yesterday, mid-session before the pullback. It's acting a little bit like a safe haven in the world of the markets. But Coinbase reflected this to some degree. But that knock yesterday was a really big pullback. But the investors are regrouping around the business and see this stock now up all-sessions, up 7% today. Where it'll open remains to be seen, but I suspect we could well see a little bit of a drop at the start later on today on Wall Street.
