OIL - The magic 200 SMA

Updated

The 200 SMA played an important role in oil's past history during tha last few years.
This call is going to be based on the scenario when oil tags /marginally breaks the 200 SMA and drops into its daily cycle low.
The daily cycle is very mature, I already closed my longs last week.
From this point it's definetely risky to hold any long positions before we have a correction.

A possible target could be the 100 SMA.

Note

100 SMA

Note

We broke above the 200 SMA.

Just like at this rally:

In the worst case scenarion the DCL will test back the 200 SMA and we get out with small gains or break even.
But I don't think we can stay above the 200 SMA for too long.

Note

We’ve arrived to the next resistance zone: the 2018 year’s resistance at 64$.

Note

The DCL will minimum back test the 200SMA at 61$.

Note

I’m adding to the short positions at this point.

Note

So far so good.

Note

Double top is developing on the 4hrs/1hr chart

Note

We have a weird broadening top as someone is trying to push up price to the same level again and again.(64.65)

I let you guess who are this guys.

Note

It will come down sooner or later and we will sit this out.

Note

Let’s if we get a rescue at 62.3 again.
LOL

Note

Finally the move into the DCL is on the way.
I hope everybody still on board

Note

I’m waiting for the RSI 5 or 6 reach oversold conditions.

Note

Watching today’s drop the 200SMA doesn’t seem like an unrealistic target does it?

Note

These heavily manipulated markets are losing ground in a blink of a moment. When the players who are proping up the price quietly exit the trade the small trader gets trapped in the position and doesn’t understand why the breakout didn’t work this time.

Note

Im always using the same color for the 100 and 200 SMA.
200 cyan
100 magenta
50 blue

Note

And here is the 200SMA.

Note

I promised you 61$ as a minimum target of a DCL.

Note

Closing the 50% of the position at 61.10. Just in case if OPEC decide to save this tomorrow.

Note

If it stays here Im going to close the rest of the short during the european night .

Key reversal is forming.

Note

Key reversal. Bounce from the 200 SMA. It’s too risky to hold any shorts.

Trade closed manually

We got a small pullback this morning , I used it to close all my short positions. Even if you didn’t add to the shorts where I suggested you can still close here at break even. The 200SMA was back tested. Waiting for a new setup.
