Crude Oil - Massive Wedge Pattern

Crude Oil has spiked out of a large scale wedge pattern. Price has coiled since 2008 and has led to the explosive move higher. This is an extremely powerful pattern. However, Oil may settle back short term to backtest the breakout before the next surge up. Monthly

  2. SC,

    What are your GUSH and Oil targets?

    Does it correspond to massive spike in VIX?

    1. Expect massive inflationary surge. Oil is preparing to gap up $30 a barrel over $100.

    2. Weird gold has been dead for a while now

      You would think it should be well north of 2300

    2. UVXY had some action there a few weeks back when VIX bounced off the trendline. Let's keep an eye on it

  4. SC,
    I was looking at DRV this morning per your real estate/lumber post. I thought I would pass it on, just in case you found it interesting.

  5. GUSH chart not looking good short term. I see there is gap at $67. GUSH susceptible to a vicious drop suddenly.

    However, I'm not interested in DRIP because would be sudden but brief. Rather look to enter GUSH on the dip.

    This also may be foretelling of a drop in SPX also.

  6. SC, the vix break the canal?

  7. Hi SC,recently you said the VIX could spike to 130 on war fears. Any time window for the VIX spike, are you thinking sometime this year, 3rd or 4th quarter? Thanks💯

    1. Not until much later in the bigger picture with China and Russia. It is the biggest theme.

      I have other plans for volatility trades first.

      This year inflation and Covid fear still most important.

  9. Thank you, SC. I really appreciate your perspective, you've got a lot of market knowledge and know how to apply it practically in order to make money. It's very generous of you to share your work here.

  11. Thank you all kindly!! Happy 4th of July and holidays! We're having fun! Best is yet to come...!!!

  12. SC, do you think the vix start to go up, and we saw the top in the S&P?

    1. I don't think so yet. SPX keeps bouncing on the 50 day moving average eventually it's going to crack. Economic is far worse than people think.

  13. There we go! RIG cooled off.

  14. What price are you looking to buy RIG at?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Even here RIG is attractive. I might start to nibble soon. Also gap at $4.55. $4.40 possibly. Insiders bought heavily. RIG could breakout in July.

      The Oil cycle hitting a low next Monday. We have maybe a week to work with here.

  15. Now I don't promise you will enjoy the entire ride with Oil, but by the end of the ride, yes you will be thrilled!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Notice how the 4th of July was overshadowed by the Florida condo collapse and other calamities. This is indicative of a "demise". They focus on the negatives. Each catastrophe replaces the previous. Glass half full.

    This is important for trading volatility.

  17. Looking at this Oil chart only the 2007/2008 impulse compared in strength. That impulse went $50 to $145 Oil. $95 in magnitude. This impulse up in Oil started at $10. A $95 move would give $105.

    1. If you add a touch more for good measure maybe $115 WTI.

      Delete
    2. At that time RIG was trading at $160 a share.

      Delete
  18. sc,

    so you are expecting Rig to double correct---because --no way back to $160

    Please advise?

    ReplyDelete
  19. There it is!!! We're getting a good dip in the Oil. GUSH, RIG, XLE coming down. Don't get too heavy yet though. Let prices come down. The dip is deepening...

    ReplyDelete
  20. Ok SC you have my attention. "Oil cycle hitting a low next Monday."
    SC xle under 50 next Monday, do you think it will go lower? Might be a good time to load uo!

  21. Next Monday may be a good time to buy xle?

    1. Not sure which day but due Monday. Spectacular entry is coming for XLE.

      This dip sharp but only brief.

  22. sc,

    Depending upon the size of the pull Back into late August---a global sell off----maybe starting short term?-- The re-opening movement which from a NYC view is not Occurring --usually this is the UVXY product is best to Capitalize on this move!--I bought a little RIG-and- I will need to average in at $3.50 to 3.75----But we will see?

    1. Volatility starting to wake up. UVXY nice to see action beginning and we may be able to catch some moves next.

  23. The vicious drop materialized as anticipated. Yes planning to enter RIG, GUSH, and XLE calls.

  24. RIG holding quite well. Looks like we are working on the handle.

  25. SC ... what level do you think SPX makes a top?
    4400 4500 5000?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I'll post a chart on this because this is important. I use the word top as in a major top. This way we differentiate between a high and a top. The reason people can't see the major turning points is that they become so focused on the minute details not seeing the big picture.

  26. sc,

    SPX 4420 to 4430---mid next week ---then a down below Spx 4000

  27. SC, the weekly vix candle looks like sellers control

  28. FWIW -
    @DaveHcontrarian
    As I have said many times, I am forecasting an 70%-80% bear market that is likely steeper & faster than 2008/09. Most or all of than decline could occur in less than six months time. It won't be gradual but it won't happen in three weeks either.

    1. Timing, Biden or Harris midterm, October 2022?

      Delete
    2. thanks. I'm looking for a drop that is equal either in points or percentage drop to the covid crash. However, it could go lower, and if your forecast is correct, it will. Timing has been an issue for me. I've been very cautious about being long for several months now. Getting tired of waiting! ;-)

  29. It seems to me RIG may pop first. I'm not really that satisfied with GUSH or XLE yet. GUSH weekly 50 is at $55 and I would like to see it closer to that number.

    ReplyDelete
  30. FED is openly ignoring inflation and that makes it a top trade. Therefore, looking to build positions in Oil the best inflation trade.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Bought PTR PetroChina at close, 44.68. Bought and sold last week also. Might be a short term play. Gas and oil usually go up into Labor Day weekend and beyond. Also, any dips in XLE should pay off as SC has pointed out.

    1. traded in and out of it last week for profits. I'm looking at it too but notice all vaccines are down today.

    2. I think it is early for a big play on OCGN but there are scalps here and there

    It’s cheap — October 10 call is 1.25

    It’s a bargain???

    1. OCGN looks good for the Fall/winter but it's not apparent what expiry to use yet.

      Delete
    2. Another one we should strongly consider is KODK.

      Delete
  35. XBI looks like it is dipping towards $122 as anticipated. OCGN should be good for another trade at the time.

  39. Money flowing out of AMC and getting ready for the next short squeeze. We know where the hot money is going next...

    ReplyDelete
  40. SC, regarding RIG, do you have a price that would tell you your expected scenario may not happen? Or, a price in crude that would tell you that crude has entered a bear market and is not likely to rally? For example, crude drops below the low of May 21 and starts trading below $60.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I continue to view this as a backtest in Crude so going by our chart that number is around $60 WTI. Doubt it gets under that.

    2. The blue line is around $60
