Good Friday Modified Schedule

Crude Oil

crude oil

With markets heading into the long Good Friday weekend, traders should be prepared for abbreviated trading hours this Friday, April 3rd, as U.S. futures will observe an early close. Despite the holiday, volatility risk remains elevated: we’ll still receive the monthly Jobs Report, and the market is watching the geopolitical war‑related deadline closely.

The combination of reduced liquidity, event‑driven uncertainty, and shortened hours means price action can be sharper than usual. As always, plan positions accordingly and stay mindful of thinner order books heading into the close.

May Crude Oil

May Crude Oil is challenging the March spike high as it attempts to resume its rally. At this point, new sustained highs would project a possible run to the low percentage fourth upside PriceCount objective to the 128.54 area.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.
