USOIL (Crude Oil) 4H | Rising Wedge Fakeout | Bearish I.R. SetupUSOIL (Crude Oil) 4H Analysis | Rising Wedge Fakeout | Bearish Reversal Setup | Market Footprinting Trading Concept
Crude Oil is approaching a major resistance zone where multiple technical factors align, increasing the probability of a bearish reversal. According to the Market Footprinting Trading Concept, price is testing the upper boundary of a long-term descending channel while also completing a 4H Rising Wedge, a pattern that often signals weakening bullish momentum.
The highlighted resistance zone is expected to act as a potential Initial Reversal (I.R.) area. If a valid 4H I.R. confirmation forms inside this zone, it could trigger a strong bearish move.
Trading Plan
Wait for a confirmed 4H Initial Reversal (I.R.) at the marked resistance zone.
After confirmation, shift to the 5-minute timeframe.
Look for a 5M Rising Wedge breakdown as the entry trigger.
Enter only after the wedge breakdown is confirmed with strong bearish momentum.
Manage risk according to your trading plan and wait for confirmation instead of anticipating the move.
Market Footprinting Outlook
✅ Long-term Descending Channel Resistance
✅ 4H Rising Wedge Completion
✅ High-Probability Initial Reversal (I.R.) Zone
✅ 5M Rising Wedge Entry Module
🎯 Bearish continuation expected after confirmation.

Oilforecast
Crude Oil AnalysisOn the 4H chart, Crude Oil rose after breaching out of the cup and handle pattern, and has been trending within the sideways range between the fib ext. level 0.618 & 0.50.
Since May 7th, the prices have been trending within an ascending channel formation.
The prices have recently tested the support of the lower trendline of the ascending channel formation.
Now oil might rise towards the order block towards R2 (106.60), given that immediate resistance R1 (103.30) is successfully breached.
The prices are taking resistance at the middle Bollinger band & RSI is trending in the buying zone – signaling bullish continuation.
Alternative Scenario: A breach of the psychological support of 100-99.00 below immediate support S1 = 100.50 might drive the prices towards lower support zones
Key Levels:
R1: 103.30 R2: 106.60
S1: 100.50 S2: 97.40
WTI: Liquidity War Inside HTF Bearish NarrativeWTI traded below the previous week’s low, but here’s the important detail:
it failed to close below it.
That changes everything.
Instead of acceptance lower, the market swept liquidity and reclaimed the range, which keeps the higher-timeframe bearish narrative intact while creating trapped sellers below the lows.
Current framework:
Previous week’s low swept but not accepted below
Liquidity resting beneath Wednesday’s low and NDOG
Friday’s high aligning with buy-side liquidity + Daily FVG
H4 FVG currently acting as support
Liquidity now engineered on both sides of price
My expectation:
Before the larger expansion begins, one side of liquidity needs to be fully attacked. While both scenarios remain possible, the bearish continuation currently has slightly higher probability because HTF narrative still favors downside delivery.
But the key detail is this:
The market already dipped below the previous week’s low and failed to stay there.
That failed acceptance often becomes the reason the opposite side gets raided first.

Crude Oil - Sell around 63.80, target 62.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
We have been consistently bearish on crude oil for three months now. Our approach is completely in line with the market. As you can see, crude oil currently only needs a simple rebound to make money. Although volatility is minimal, the market will respond accordingly. We are watching for a technical rebound between 61.20 and 60.00. This rebound presents an opportunity to sell again. We sold today when it rebounded to 63.80.
Fundamental Analysis:
The CPI estimate was 2.7%, while the market expected 2.9%, and the price also reached 2.9%. Both market expectations and results were higher than expected, which should have weighed on gold in the long term. However, gold did not fall, but instead surged.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude Oil - Sell around 63.80, target 62.00-60.00
Crude oil - Sell around 65.00, target 62.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Crude oil closed with a small positive candlestick yesterday, rebounding for three consecutive trading days. It appears that the 60.00 support level remains very strong and difficult to break in the short term. If it rebounds near 65.00, continue selling. Crude oil remains bearish. Today's strategy remains unchanged. Yesterday's positive close is somewhat related to the EIA crude oil inventory data.
Fundamental Analysis:
The most important data this week, the CPI, will be released today. The recent surge in gold prices is due to increased market expectations of a September rate cut by the Federal Reserve. This CPI may be the last data the Fed will use as a reference.
Trading Recommendation:
Crude oil - Sell around 65.00, target 62.00-60.00.
Crude oil - Sell around 63.30, target 62.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
The strategy for crude oil is simple: a rebound is a selling opportunity. Don't dwell on the details. Crude oil has been fluctuating for a long time. If it breaks through, we will adjust our strategy. Today, sell crude oil around 64.30. The key resistance level for crude oil is around 65.60. A break of this level will trigger a strong trend. Sell crude oil in the short term during short-term fluctuations. A break of 60.00 will open up new room for significant declines.
Fundamental Analysis:
Today, focus on the EIA crude oil inventory data. The CPI will be released tomorrow, and this week's major action will also be tomorrow.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude oil - Sell around 63.30, target 62.00-60.00
Crude oil - Sell near 63.50, target 62.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Crude oil has recently been recovering on the daily chart, with the focus of the recovery shifting downward. Weak inventory data is also the primary reason for the continued decline in crude oil prices. Today, we maintain a bearish outlook and focus on sell orders near 63.50. Don't chase crude oil today; wait for a small rebound before selling. It's been volatile, and the buying and selling game has been going on for a long time.
Fundamental Analysis:
The previous sharp drop in non-farm payroll data led to a surge in gold prices. This week, we will monitor CPI data.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude oil - Sell near 63.50, target 62.00-60.00
Crude oil - Sell around 64.00, with a target range of 62.00-60.0Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Crude oil has recently begun to move slowly, with the daily chart beginning to decline. This week, we will focus on gains and losses around 60.00. If this level is broken, further downside is possible. We remain bearish on crude oil and continue to sell on rebounds. Every rebound presents an opportunity to sell again. Today, we are focusing on sell opportunities near 64.00. The recently released crude oil inventories are essentially flat, with no significant gap to support buying.
Fundamental Analysis:
Last week's non-farm payroll data showed a figure of 22,000, compared to expectations of 75,000 and a previous estimate of 79,000. This result is quite disappointing. In short, fewer US jobs, a weaker economy, and therefore a stronger gold price. This week, we will monitor the CPI.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude oil - Sell around 64.00, with a target range of 62.00-60.00.
Crude oil - Sell around 64.00, target 62.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
Crude oil is still experiencing a recent correction in daily price action. We should consider continuing to sell on any rebounds. Previous crude oil contracts and inventories haven't changed the trend, and recent data doesn't support it. I predict it will be difficult to reverse the weak selling trend in the short term. Today, we're considering selling around 64.00.
Fundamental Analysis:
Recent fundamentals haven't significantly stimulated the market. Today, we'll focus on the US non-farm payroll data.
Trading Recommendations:
Crude oil - Sell around 64.00, target 62.00-60.00
Crude oil - Sell around 64.50, target 63.00-60.00Crude Oil Market Analysis:
The recent daily chart of crude oil has been a fluctuating pattern of rising and falling prices, making us question our own future. Today, we maintain a bearish outlook. Every rebound presents a selling opportunity. We've been selling crude oil for months, and it's been fluctuating for months now, with no signs of a rebound or upward movement. Unless the weekly hurdle of 75 is broken, a significant rally is unlikely. Consider selling if it rebounds to 64.50 today.
Fundamental Analysis:
Today we will have ADP employment and unemployment benefits data.
Trading Recommendation:
Crude oil - Sell around 64.50, target 63.00-60.00

What 1-hour chart says? Fundamental Development: Oil prices fell on Wednesday, taking a breather from a near 4% surge the previous day, on receding fears of an imminent output cut by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies, a group known as OPEC+. Global benchmark Brent crude futures fell 40 cents, or 0.4%, to $99.82 a barrel, after rising 3.9% on Tuesday. The U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures contract was down 27 cents, or 0.29%, at $93.47 a barrel, having jumped 3.7% the previous day. Both contracts soared on Tuesday after the energy minister of de facto OPEC leader Saudi Arabia flagged the possibility of supply cuts to balance a market it described as "schizophrenic", with the paper and physical markets becoming increasingly disconnected.
Short Term Technical View: In daily chart XTIUSD is trading below 200 SMA & in 1-hour chart, XTIUSD is trading above middle line of Bollinger band indicator. As per RSI Indicator showing bullishness in 1-hour chart, XTIUSD pivot level is 92.75 as per today 1-hour chart, my view is buy on dip strategy is good for XTIUSD. Buy range of XTIUSD is 92.75 to 92.50 and there is very strong support zone at 91.50.
Alternative Scenario: If XTIUSD will trade above 91.50 and sustain below in U.S. Session so it will be, give great opportunity to sell with the target of 90 with the stop loss of 92.75. (Note: Crude oil inventories at 8 PM IST)

What 1-hour chart says? Fundamental Development: Oil prices dipped on Friday after two days of gain, as market participants weighed worries about global economic slowdown - that could dampen fuel demand - against expectations of tighter supplies toward year-end.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude was at $90.29 a barrel, down 21 cents, or 0.2%, following a 2.7% increase in the previous session. Still, the benchmark contracts headed for weekly losses of about 1.5%. U.S. CRUDE inventories fell sharply as the nation exported a record 5 million barrels of oil a day in the most recent week, with oil companies finding heavy demand from European nations looking to replace crude from warring Russia.

What 1-hour chart says?
