We have pulled our buy orders off the table with crude. We have seen 4 straight days of up and down so we will let crude trade on Monday before accessing. However, crude is consolidating which means another move will happen soon. OPEC says prices will continue to stay low until the beginning of the year. Will they be right or will the bulls force the issue? ...
We are still watching crude for an entry long. We would like to see price re-visit the trigger zone and touch the lower flag. We are being CAUTIOUS with crude. This beast can blow through an area quickly so MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE TRADING CRUDE YOU ARE USING A TRIGGER! Define your risk and be good with it.
Would of, should of, could of...That was another nice move off the trigger area but as we mentioned before it wasn't deep enough into our zone. Now crude was rejected at the upper flag so we expect price to fall into the range and hopefully test the lower flag in our zone. Patience is needed! It's on our watch list.
Crude is experiencing some incredible moves which may be a sign a bottom is near. When bottoms form there is wider moves with volatility...we are watching the trigger zone for a possible long entry. We will keep a tight leash on the trade is it triggers. You never know with crude. NO TRIGGER...NO TRADE!
We saw an acceleration of buying above $47.00. It's safe to say a lot of shorts got shaken out of the market. Now we watch. We look for consolidation or a pullback to the $42 area. Will OPEC follow through with it's comments or will a rate hike send crude back down to the lows? It will be a tug of war and we are placing our bets on OPEC. We are seeking to...
After a rocket off the bottom and a nice trade, Crude needs a rest. Is the bottom in? We don't so...soon though. We feel crude could make another attempt at a bottom to shake out the weak longs. However, if crude wants more upside from here we will need to see some consolidation. Above the $47 and we could see an accelerated squeeze. Crude is on our daily...
Well...that was quick. Off the Descending triangle we were able to take advantage of a very quick move and ring the bell on a nice winner. Lessons for all: Define your trade - Wait for it to happen - manage it as defined - control emotions. We are flat and will see how the pullbacks look.
Crude moved fast and furious so we took some off at 42.04 and pulled stops to our entry level. We weren't expecting this quick of a move so we had to adjust. That is trading...noting is static. It's a free trade and we will trail the stop until we see target #2 or get taken out.
After waiting...we are long Crude (WTI). We like the potential of this trade and are looking for a larger than normal first target. We will keep this on a tight leash. In lieu of shorter targets we will move our stops up as we gain more in the trade.
We are still waiting. As Crude continues to drop we have to move our entry down. A descending channel break to the upside should see a nice pop. No Trigger, No Trade! Be patient with this one. Crude can clean out your account quickly.
Looking at a bear gartley pattern on USOIL 240m chart. The pattern completion was at $54.41 and the initial target area would be $50.16. For those looking for an extended bearish move this "D" point also represents the ":C" leg of a bigger bullish bat pattern.
Crude Oil is at the same technical juncture as many Dollar correlated assets. It has been ranging since the start of the year with the Bears desperately trying to make headway to the downside but have been thwarted thus far by Crude Oil Bulls. A few temporary excursions below 44 have resulted in neck snapping whipsaws and currently the technical picture in Crude...

Crude Oil Forecast
Crude has broken down and we will look for pull back triggers to get short. We will look for crude to visit the 41 area. REMEMBER: NO TRIGGER, NO TRADE
Crude is still bouncing around and not finding a direction. Stops are building just above the 54.20 area. If we take that out we will most likely see a nice move. In the mean time we sit on our hands and wait for a good setup. Nothing yet. Keep on the watch list.
We were hoping for a CL break to the upside over the last two weeks but we got nothing. It's been chop city. We will be very cautious with trades to the downside. So we will sit on our hands with Crude and wait for something to setup.
