Oil Ready For a Reversal

TVC:USOIL   CFDs on WTI Crude Oil
Considering it's Friday today, I decided to post a general analysis on Oil as opposed to a specific entry-target-stop loss idea as I usually do. I refrain from keeping positions over the weekend as a lot can happen and I don't want to be overexposed. So, if it's not a setup that I feel very confident about, I rarely open trades on Friday. With that being said, here's what I am expecting to happen and I will continue to analyze over the weekend.

As most of us have noticed already, the bulls seem to be a bit exhausted from this move up and I am expecting that soon the demand for oil will decrease. As a result, we should see the bears taking control of the situation and push the price down. On a daily chart, we are reaching the overbought level, while on the 4h chart we are about to print a divergence (following my indicator Market Flow for this analysis).

I am expecting one last push up until we reach the next strong resistance (from a psychological and technical standpoint) of $55. Before we take a dive, I believe that price may go slightly above that level so that the Stop Losses are triggered and provide liquidity for the big players' short positions.

I see two other possible scenarios, although I wouldn't bet my money on them at this moment:
1) Oil breaks down from this ascending channel prematurely and starts a downtrend or starts ranging;
2) Price reaches the resistance level, makes a small pullback, and prepares to penetrate that level. If that is the case I believe we can see quite a big move up.

How do you guys see the situation? Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
Order cancelled:
Well, the price went through the trendline earlier than we expected. Canceling this trade and reevaluating the situation.
