Any trade you take in oil right now is probably going to make you a quick win or loss . Oil has easily been the most volatile market this week - it's pretty obvious why 1) Hurricanes in the US disrupting supply 2) War in the Middle East For us, the trend is higher since breaking through $76 / bbl. And the latest fractal forming a higher low helped confirm this...

On the daily chart, there is a clear break of a downtrend line with a confirmed weekly close above it - unlike during the liquidity grab where the price broke higher but then closed the week under the trendline. This broken trendline and Friday’s low at 161 is now support. Should the price be able to break above the August peak, a next possible upside target is...

1. Previous ATH at $60,000 in 2021 formed a double top. 2. Support ~$30,000 broke. 3. Bottom in late 2022 after a bullish RSI divergence. 4. 50% retracement at $30,000 (support-turned-resistance) 5. The 61.8% Fibonacci retracement matched RSI overbought at 70. 6. Price fully retraced 100% of its decline to hit a new ATH. 7. 161.8% Fibonacci extension has objective...

We all know the UK needs more houses, and that the ones already built are waaay unaffordable. The scramble to move house in 2021 corresponded with a big rally for building and construction stocks in 2021, admittedly alongside a lot of other parts of the UK stock market. That rally retraced by exactly 61.8% (Fibonacci) in 2022 and STOPPED FALLING. Since then its...

If the double top on the weekly chart is going to hold, then there should be a good amount more downside in USD/JPY. If it doesn't - we'll exit this trade. 149 was a key breakdown area - in case of a rebound we can enter short. A close above 149 probably nullifies this trade. 145 is the key target.

Just under 42K in BTCUSD is the 50% Fib of the entire drop from record highs to the 2022 low. It is also the objective from the recent triangle breakout. Note: this is very counter momentum - which are usually works out pretty quickly - either in profit or loss! Also - the triangle is probably part of a bull pennant in which case the upside objective is more like 49K.

It was a big leg down from July - Sept - so some attempt at selling a retracement makes sense - probably in the pocket between the 50% and 61.8% Fib levels. Trade: Sell a bounce into 1.27 down towards 1.24, cut losses above the 61.8% Fib

Crude rounding out and putting in a bottom ? Technicals - $76 is the old peak from 2018 before the crash into -ve territory in 2020. Price has fallen heavily from the highs, looks due a bounce Fundamentals - Bullish arguments include China's economy coming back from zero covid, inflation lower but still high, US recession risk priced in

Interesting moment for the buck. Technicals - the leg down from 14-year highs has been fast-moving and now looks oversold. We've just nabbed the 50% Fibonacci retracement. A move back over the twin peaks could confirm a lot more upside Fundamentals - Expectations for a Fed pivot combined with a 'soft landing' in the economy have sent the dollar tumbling alongside...

The swings in the price sometimes stop almost perfectly at the round numbers, but sometimes they fall just short or runover them before reversing. Which one happens doesn’t matter for the purposes of a swing trader. If you are...
