A Rally Led by "Goldman Sachs" on the Oil Market Today?

Recommended Posts

A few minutes after the open of the pit session (unintended timing for sure) ZeroHedge tweeted on its stream that Goldman Sachs had just issued a statement regarding the oil market that went like this: "Oil price risks skewed to the upside". That's it! Seven words. But coming from Goldman, there's really never anything that is "unintended". Of course, like magic, the market started to rally substantially. In fact, it never really retraced for the rest of the pit session, closing almost $2.50 from the open price. My guess is they had some pretty massive longs to cover and needed a "little push" to the upside. How convenient! Of course, I can't be 100% sure of what I'm saying but, hey, this wouldn't be the first time such a thing happen. Especially considering the COT large speculators heavy net long position of late. Those positions have to be unwinded at some point, right?

 

Anyway, for today, forget about ebb and flow as the market was rather unidirectional. Shorts didn't stand a chance to win anything of value in this type of environment. They had to run for the hills instead. The market opened at 103.76, a tiny bit above and outside of yesterday's range and value area, and as I said started immediately to go up and never looked back. All of the major resistances including yesterday's gap at 104.37, Wednesday's VPOC at the 104.82/98 level and 105.75 (a main resistance area of prior sessions), were all blown to pieces by the Goldman train. An hour into the pit session, the volatility was already high with the initial balance registring at 127 ticks. A big 33% above its 10-day average. Talking about volatility, I think we are going to get a lot more in the course of next week because the market stands at a very important junction again, where it either blows through the roof (the Goldman call) or correct more than it had over the last 3 weeks (my take). In any case, I like to trade when the market is volatile as it gives me more opportunities to find good long and short entry setups.

After a retest of 108, we may drop to 100 longer term

 

I took 2 trades today:

 

1. Long 104.34 at 9:21, exit 104.55 at 9:26 for a +21 ticks profit.

2. Short 105.75 at 11:55, exit 105.50 at 12:07 for a +25 ticks profit. Results: +46 ticks today, +193 ticks this week. Have a nice weekend!

Trading on news is like trying to figure what happens in the universe now by looking at the stars. What you see is what happened millions of transactions before.

 

Hi sergio

How do you think the Big Boys trade., with 3 moving averages and RSI?

Nope. They trade from fundamentals... earnings..... news....GDP.....and that early billionare, JP Morgan used the stars.

So , not so fast.

It is really frastrating when the big guys move the markets, SEC must monitor these guys very closely and punish them

 

On Friday, China reported an increase of 5.5% in OIl usage for the year to July.

Together with a 7.5% increase in exports reported earlier.

There is strong demand.

Goldmans get this info FIRST and reacts accordingly.

RULE No. I

When an institution tells you something is a BUY, you know they bought yesterday.

So maybe Sergio is right

Guys,

Goldman Sachs has a long history of misleading the market to achieve its short term objectives. If they say buy, it's because they want to get out of their longs. So they are selling all the way while creating the impression they recommend buying. That's what my post was all about. Judging by some of the comments I read here, I think I wasn't very clear. I'll try harder for my next post. :-)

Michel

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
