a daily price action after hour update - oil
Good evening and i hope you are well.
Let me start today with a beautiful quote, which is often repeated in some form or another and indefinitely more people do not grasp.
As we’ve discussed, every security is a claim on some set of cash flows that will be delivered to investors over time. Yet at any given moment, the only two things that determine the price of a stock are a) the highest price the most eager buyer is willing to pay, and b) the lowest price that the most eager seller is willing to accept. If enough buyers are eager and enough sellers are hesitant, the price will advance. If enough sellers are eager and enough buyers are hesitant, the price will decline. It doesn’t matter why.

I recommended the market comment from John P. Hussman on x yesterday but i want to make sure, more people read it because it’s that amazing and free. Props to him for doing it.

bull case: Bulls doing a good enough job keeping this above 80 and they got a retest of 82 today. Market is not accepting anything above 82 for now, but if bulls keep at it, something will give. We probably range more between 80 - 82 until a clear breakout and i think i can go either way. Bar 10 + 11 was strong enough that we could get a second leg up. We formed a good looking two legged pullback on the 1h chart and we could move higher soon.
bear case: Bears scalping at best here, it’s probably more bulls taking profit. They would need to get a really good close below 80 with follow through, for lower prices. Right now odds of that are very small. Best they can probably get is a trading range 80 - 83.
short term: Neutral with slight bullish favor inside given range
medium-long term: Market needs to reach the big bear trend line around 84 and we need to see the reaction there. It’s a bull trend but on the weekly it’s a weak looking trend with many overlapping bars. Could easily reach 84 and trade back down to 75 again over some weeks.
That’s it for today, have a good night and talk to you tomorrow.
