2. Hot Market Report: Crude Oil Trading at Decision Levels
By Ilan Levy-Mayer
Click on image below to enlarge
Crude Oil futures, along with other energies, experienced some volatility the past few weeks. Tarrifs news, tensions with Iran and overall news about supply and demand helped crude oil trade in a $10 range between July 10th and August 16th!!
Currently the market is trading at what I consider a junction, decision levels right around 69.94 to 70.50.
Daily chart of crude oil for your review from this morning ( August 31st 2018). Notice that we have both previous highs around the $70 mark as well as the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level ( from the highs of early July to the lows of middle August).
You can see the ALGOS I created and Like to use, pointed a possible buy on August 23rd and 24th. This specific ALGO tries to identify resumption of a trade. I think that if Crude Oil can close today above the $70 mark, it will be a bullish weekly and daily close as well as another positive monthly close and can trigger the next leg up.

Crude Oil is one of my favorite markets for Day Trading because of the intraday voilatility and movements. Be careful, these factors can work against you or in your favor.
Some of the basic fundamentals to keep in mind when you are considering a trade in the crude oil as well as other energies:
1. Longer term view of current market prices
2. Dates and times of important reports. Namely, Tuesday afternoon report (API) and the DOE report on Wednesday mornings at 10:30 Am EST
3. Weather and Seasonality
4. Correlation to US Dollar prices
5. Inflationary prospects
6. Geopolitical Stability
7. U.S. Fiscal and Monetary Stability
