Technically due a rest after a 20% rally within a few weeks.
Weekend Oil down $3 at the moment. Much more of a newsdriven market
than most markets of course.
To state the obvious.... as has been covered in recent
newsletters....this does not look pretty short term. It is only the
60min chart so no panic stations. Don't know whether it is a
precurser to some sanguine Earnings reports/ projections/CAPEX
investment exceeding expectations or a combination.
Thanks Matt. The RSI Trend line is still bullish. Raising stops
with decent leeway. Still no signs of MACD rolling over
significantly. Seems like a decent amount of clear air from here up
to the 100% fib
Nudging against Supply here but holding up well. Been a real
see-saw day for WTIC but I would give it to the bulls so far , as
WTIC managed to pullback from being $3.5 down earlier to now being
up $1 (albeit it was up $2.5 when futures opened) . If it can break
through here, then I can't see any overhead resistance until it
reaches the 100% USO level of 130. On $WTIC, it's around $87 I
think.
RSI Trendline break will probably be a good trigger to exit
longs. MACD not heavily diverging yet
Looking for a possible re-entry but will not chase it here after
closing some decent longs Futures on Open. It broke out of a
parallel channel and may be retesting it now with a possible C Wave
up. But then again, my EW isn't great so I may have it wrong
Will wait to see whether it stabalises here for a possible very
small position re-entry long playing for one more leg up. Messy
Indicator is oversold so that's one tick. But still no price
trigger
Approaching some resistance here on the 4hr downward trendline.
Seems a decent place to an objective short as there also seems to
be supply around here.
Beginning to warm to MOO for a swing play. I know this was
featured in the newsletters Q4 last year and Q1. The outside
reversal week has me on the lookout for either an abc pullback or
just a 50% move back of the recent move. Should I think target $86
easily in this move on a Swing basis.
Technically, I still see this as a channel breakout. However,
there is alot of Supply, as you pointed out, at around $84.
I am inclined to take some off the table on Monday unless events
take over. Everyone is expecting Oil to top out here around $84ish
and then head down towards $70 again. I can't hep but think there
is a Contrarian play here. So perhaps, continue to trail up is my
approach
Personally I wouldn't be a buyer for quite a while. Yes they may
bounce here temporarily but there is an insiders stock unlock in
August so they can sell 20-37% of their holdings. Some of these
insiders will have had the stock since inception prior to it going
public at extremely low prices. So an increase in Stock Supply in
August will only send the shares in one direction.....my best guess
at the mo
I think it doesn't seem too far away from a tradeable
bottom....but I might wait. Some form of Wave Structure here with a
possible extended 5th? Support is still 3-4% further down I think
where there are some demand zomes. However, MACD still firmly
headed down. So I guess close....but no cigar for me. Or Close, but
no Candy
I watched a video on this yesterday so ironic you posted
something similar. The SPR can't fall below around 200m barrels.
This isn't the exact number but for reasons of maintaining pressure
in the caves where this is stored etc, the reserves have to
highish. They can't just be depleted to zero. Current levels ~300m
barrels. The price shock would be sharp if these can't be dipped
into anymore. However, the best cure for a rise in the price
of Oil.........is a rise in the price of Oil. Sounds peverse. I
think if Supply is squeezed significantly, demand will fall and
this in turn, acts as a regulation to prevent $150,$200+ etc.
That's my opinion. Also China is superquick at moving to EV as it
did with the Price Shock in March/April this year. Hence prices
didn't rise as rapidly as they would have done with the Status Quo.

For this weekend, for what it's worth, Oil is trading up 2.5% .
Of course news driven etc. As Matt said in his newsletter, charts
lead the news. Price action seemed to be taking a turn to the
bullish view (short term I stress!). So news this weekend looks
like it will push Oil up when futures open up later.

I still like ASTH here as a low risk trade with a stop at the recent Swing Low...approx $39.

Buckle Up

Oil is moving more this weekend(+1.9%) relative to US30.....but of course news driven. https://www.ig.com/uk/indices/markets-indices/weekend-oil---us-crude. Also the weekend betting is kind of a 50/50 unless the move is on the back of some material weekend news.
Technically, I still see this as a channel breakout. However, there is alot of Supply, as you pointed out, at around $84.

I am still long Oil
USO.... Hitting resistance AND that declining 50dma
Posted by vimal on 17th of Jul 2026 at 03:28 pm
I am still long Oil but may trail up here. Yes resistance here. Also a channel which seems to be breaking upwards on the 2hour.
On a Macro basis, the amount of SPR left is getting very thin.....but this is just FYI rather than a trigger or info I am using
I think you are seeing
KOSPI down again tonight around 6.3% at the moment. Ai ...
