USOIL - One Way or Another....Bat or Butterfly
Im still favouring the Butterfly to 58-59 as its supported by an Elliotwave sequence, Crucial area is the blue line....if price closes below the blue line, Elliotwave sequence is invalidated and bat takes control... expecting an upward move in next few days, possiblty today if 44.50 holds....

We have 2 potential outcomes from here......
Reversal at 43.03....watch price action...wait for a bottom formation.. nest to wait till after NFP data tomorrow 1.30 GMT to see which direction and go with the trend....
or
long at 42.03....completion of a bat pattern.. for TP 44.50...put stop loss a few tics under the x (the higher X on the chart)

We closed right on the line in the sand at 43.50...so the 5 wave pattern is still valid up to 59.00......
Because of the .618 retracement, Ive re-jigged the wave count...what looked like wave 1 was just a pullback...so we have just seen the retracement of wave 2....this makes sense because
1. usually wave 2 is a 50-61.8 retracement
2. wave 2 and 4 dont usually retrace the same...wave 4 should retrace 38.2 if wave 2 retraced 61.8
3. the waves should be of similar length , with wave 1 shortest....
Its the same result...we get to 59 wiith butterfly but it gives us pivot points to take some profit and add to the trade to minimise risk....

REGARDING NFP
The charts are saying the job numbers are going to be weaker than expected, however I will hedge my positions against the worst case scenario.
I will be entering 2 long positions on oil and Gold about 1.25pm GMT and 1 short position as insurance.....
I have 3 short positions open on USDCAD...I will be entering a long position at the same time as insurance.....
If you have a trading account that allows you to take half profit then you do not need multiple positions...(I keep meaning to change mine to one that does)
After 1.30pm there should be fireworks and we end the day with a big green candle !

We have just broken out of a channel so I've gone long at 43.73..quite a long stop loss to allow for possible volatility after NFP....

We are potentially in wave 2 (corrective wave), of wave 3 (impulse wave), of wave 5 (impulse wave) in a 5 wave move (making sense?)....wave 2 shoudnt 'close below 44.32...if it does the elliotwave and butterfly option is off the table,.....I will close my longs while still in profit...and will be looking for a shorting opportunity...
Bình luận:
If bulls win...it will be via a short squeeze in my view...the support trendline will be key...
and a good shorting opportunity on 0.618 retrace

Bearflag and trendline breakout
Dont be surprised to see a quick dive to 44.60 and a rapid rise back up again...

We hve broken the support trendline...
My view is still bullish on oil, with a 61.8 retracement its usually great news to at least test the last high of 48.95 but sometimes it can form a Gartley in the opposite direction and we have to accept the fact that the bears will be looking at this potential....with a buy at 42.79...
My plan is the same 44,32 is the .618 retracement from 43.02 - 46.5....if we drop below 44.32 it tells me bears are on top....so I will be cashing in around 42.15 area based on price action.....and looking for the 42.79 buy opportunity...

Ive closed all longs except one....
Next obvious reversal area is 43.75.......786 fib and 1.618 extension on this downward AB=CD pattern....
If we reverse here then a bounce to at least 44.32 is on.....and its not completely out of the question we still get our butterfly to (59)...but i feel its unlikely now, but will keep my long in case...

Looking like a double bottom if it doesn't take off, in which case I will buy at 43.75....

We are right on the line.....should ping up tomorrow after NFP data...4hr RSI is 18 !!!! so oversold end of 3 wave impulse pattern...should at the very least retest 46.50
