Crude Oil testing 2008 and 2014 key areas cont.The top of the 2014 volume area continues to hold price and will need to do so for price to continue higher
In the last week, the volume point of control has shifted up from 91.6x to 107.6x with the increase in volume due to buying
Question on timing: Has a low been put in place the week of 21-June or will price drift for several more weeks. The 45-period lookback on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd STD LR has seemed to have tight boundaries. I’m not sure if price will drift right several more weeks touching bottom of the 2nd STD LR before continuing up. Although options are expensive, could be opportunity for Oct/Nov 2022 calls.
R4 traditional pivot for 2022 is close to the 2008 high so that would be my first target to close any Oct/Nov calls

The OPEC+ group of producers including Russia, began two days of meetings on Wednesday, though sources said there was little prospect of agreement to pump more oil.

As you remember, traders, we spotted a confirmed bearish breakout of a rising parallel channel on WTI last week.
Now, we see its retest.
Watch a minor rising trend line on 4H.
Its bearish breakout will be your confirmation to short.
You need a 4H candle close below that to confirm the breakout.

USOIL 27th JUNE 2022World crude oil prices tended to be bearish, continuing the correction a week earlier, amid the aggressive United States central bank in raising its benchmark interest rate.
Oil prices have been rising since last year and hit a record high this year on March 8, 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine.
The weakening of oil prices is the uncertain demand prospect from China. Although the spike in Covid-19 cases has been contained, it is still unclear how quickly Chinese businesses will be able to recover.

US OIL (Long Europe Session)Europe session might see a high of 105.5 as LR bands of 15 min suggests and then we should see a low at exhaustion of 103.8 - 104.5 at end.
If 103.8 breaks to lower we shall see a low of 103 or high 102's.
My suggestion is long or wait for Europe session to drive this up then short at peak of Europe session and wait it out a bit.
It is currently range bound 103.8 to 105.6 as it seems
