Crude Oil Chart Review & Support and Resistance Levels 7.09.2021

Dear Traders,

A look at the daily crude oil chart below:
If you are a short term or swing trader, use a 4 hour chart and look for lower risk/ higher reward type of set ups.
I would look to go short at upper 74 levels ( 74.88) and I would look to go long at 71.20. Both entries can be used with a small stop.
If you are an option trader look to sell vertical call spreads above 77 and vertical put spreads below the 70 level with 30 days or less to expiration. More on this strategy here.
If you are a day trader, than good news! The CME is launching a MICRO WTI Crude Oil futures which are 1/10 the size and can be used for hedging, “pyramiding positions and more. The new contract will start trading July 12th. More info here.
For now, until I get a close a daily close below 70.97 I favor the long side, a close below 70.97 based on the daily chart will shift the strength to the bear camp.
**CME Group has removed the trading halt between 3:15 and 3:30 p.m. CT on CME Globex for Equity Index products.

Cannon Futures Daily Blog

Dear Traders,

Starting June 28, 2021, CME Group has removed the trading halt between 3:15 and 3:30 p.m. CT on CME Globex for Equity Index products.
This enhancement will allow market participants to access liquidity continuously throughout the trading day and manage event risk that occurs during the trading session with greater ease.
Tomorrow is also the last trading day of the month!
Last trading days and first trading days of the months will at times have unique characteristics. Possible larger moves, sharper turns, higher volume.
Large traders/ funds will try to “close the books for the month”, book profits or losses etc.
Do you homework, go over notes from your journal, study the charts from prior last/ first trading days and be prepared.

Dear Traders,

Starting today, June 28, 2021, CME Group has removed the trading halt between 3:15 and 3:30 p.m. CT on CME Globex for Equity Index products.
This enhancement will allow market participants to access liquidity continuously throughout the trading day and manage event risk that occurs during the trading session with greater ease.
Subject to regulatory review and effective June 28, 2021, CME and CBOT will eliminate the 3:15 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Central Time (CT) trading halt on CME Globex which currently exists for certain Equity futures and options contracts.
The halt was initially implemented to account for transactions conducted via open outcry in the trading pits and is therefore no longer necessary.
June is almost over and just like that next week is 4th of July and the beginning of what we consider “summer trading”…
Summer trading USUALLY = less volume, narrower ranges but also larger moves on certain reports.
Below is a video I put together a few years ago on trading using overbought and oversold conditions – still very valid in m opinion.

Market Review

Soybeans futures are sitting on what I consider a “junction level”. Price action will determine if the recent sell off is a shift in market bias and the trend is now favoring lower prices OR if this is a support level and simply profit taking.
It is worth noting that most grains are currently in “contango” where front month prices are higher than back months and that by itself presents some interesting spread set ups.
