Brent Crude in a consolidation Triangle - will it break up or down?

It seems clear to me now that Oil is stuck in a large Triangle consolidation move and just now is retesting the lower perimeter and associated support zone.  This is consistent with a wave 3-4 consolidation, which suggests a final wave 5 rally, probably up to $55-60 levels, before, I believe, a final run down to bottom.

 

Of course the alternative scenario is that the top of the current retrace rally has already occurred and this would be confirmed for me on a sustained break of the lower Triangle and support zone.

 

Let's see what happens next...

I now believe the answer is UP.  I see the recent move as a wave 1-2 retrace following a wave 4 completion and now we have a small turn back up.  If this move breaks the near term resistance zone then a rally is on the cards.  going long with close stop protection is a decent bet for me.  Naturally the reverse could still occur at this point...

The key question on Brent Crude is whether the rally since Jan 20166 has topped out at $53 (9 June) or not.  At face value it certainly looks like it could have but the move since then is neither classic EWT 1-2 (preparing for a strong drop) nor A-B-C retrace (preparing for another rally leg).  It is possible that the retrace is just not yet concluded and that the market will chug on down to the $43 area to complete the retrace before putting in another strong rally.  However it is also possible, given the awkwardness of the current move down from the $53 high and the excessive whiplash effect I am minded to think this is a complex wave 4 retrace that completed on 11 July, after which a wave 1-2 was posted and now we are at the start of a wave 3 of 5 up.  If this is true then we should see a strong rally soon.  If not then a break of the small triangle (hourly chart) would indicate a move down.

 

Trading complex retrace waves is tough and dangerous, I will proceed with caution until the break reveals itself...

    • Stocks in Asia went through another mixed session, with losses led by the Nikkei and Hang Seng, though the ASX 200 ended the day only slightly lower. Stocks continue to fall as yields rise, while Evergrande worries returned as shares of the developer were halted following reports its chairman had been taken away by police earlier in the month. The US Senate is expected to vote this afternoon (UK time) on a bill to avoid the government shutdown, but with markets still expecting higher rates for longer (and positive economic news only adding to this view) it seems that a resolution of the government shutdown will be a minor event. Weekly US jobless claims and pending home sales this afternoon are followed by a speech from Jerome Powell this evening.
