Hi FW its Crude Oil Jul 08.... I have just closed at $123.54 up 208

 

I am still bearish and my target was 123.09 but that looks too far, ahead of the 3:30 crude figures that are its biggest mover.. but as I will be in the school playground then...thought I would cash in my chips.. might come back to $118 but thats life...

I was just wondering if you put stops on since it's so volatile. I'm just focusing on the ES currently since the moves have been nice lately.

 

Good trading!

Taking some pain now...thank goodness they are small positions...

that rally on the back of the ECB rate rise news...really caught me out...

 

I share your pain, Foale, having shorted earlier this morning. Still in now, but wishing I'd just set a tighter stop and taken the loss.:(

I'm going to stick my neck out and say Thursday's and Friday's action is the kind if extreme greed action that suggests this is oil's final hurrah for this, its longest and biggest upleg of its secular bull run to date. So short at 13759 with a view to holding and looking for sub 10000 - bringing it back to its long term trend.

 

I accept it could still spike to a further extreme before engaging its long overdue correction so if we first move up higher and even see the 15000 prophesy self-fulfilling then I will add more.

I'm going to stick my neck out too and going to say:

(a) the market can stay irrational for longer than... (you know)

(b) even if parabolic rises usually signal the end of a move, they seldom reverse in the same way straight away (but it can happen)

© would you exit your trade if you were in a long position?

Fair points FW -

 

I'm in small - and have precalculated my phase ins so there'll be no excessive exposure.

I don't pretend I can call the top but I think the signs are there. It's all speculative cash from the big players and when the plug is pulled it'll drop hard and fast.

I'd wager the trigger will be some coordinated action from governments plus further signs of slowing / stalflating economies. But that's guesswork.

This upleg in oil has been a 175% whopper - the previous largest upleg was 68%. The long term trend channel sees us at $90 - $100. Corrections tend to mirror uplegs in their size.

    • Date: 25th April 2024. Investors Monitor a Potential Japanese Intervention, and upcoming Tech Earnings. Meta stocks top earnings expectations, but revenue guidance for the next 6 months triggers significant selloff. Meta stocks decline 15.00% and the Magnificent Seven also trade lower. Japanese Authorities are on watch and most market experts predict the Japanese Federal Government will intervene once again. The Japanese Yen is the day’s worst performing currency while the Australian Dollar continues to top the charts. The US Dollar trades 0.10% lower, but this afternoon’s performance is likely to be dependent on the US GDP. USA100 – Meta Stocks Fall 15% On the Next 6-Months Guidance The NASDAQ has declined 1.51% over the past 24 hours, unable to maintain momentum from Monday and Tuesday. Technical analysts advise the decline is partially simply a break in the bullish momentum and the asset continues to follow a bullish correction pattern. However, if the decline continues throughout the day, the retracement scenario becomes a lesser possibility. In terms of indications and technical analysis, most oscillators, and momentum-based signals point to a downward price movement. The USA100 trades below the 75-Bar EMA, below the VWAP and the RSI hovers above 40.00. All these factors point towards a bearish trend. The bearish signals are also likely to strengthen if the price declines below $17,295.11. The stock which is experiencing considerably large volatility is Meta which has fallen more than 15.00%. The past quarter’s earnings beat expectations and according to economists, remain stable and strong. Earnings Per Share beat expectations by 8.10% and revenue was as expected. However, company expenses significantly rose in the past quarter and the guidance for the second half of the year is lower than previous expectations. These two factors have caused investors to consider selling their shares and cashing in their profits. Meta’s decline is one of the main causes for the USA100’s bearish trend. CFRA Senior Analyst, Angelo Zino, advises the selloff may be a slight over reaction based on earnings data. If Meta stocks rise again, investors can start to evaluate a possible upward correction. However, a concern for investors is that more and more companies are indicating caution for the second half of the year. The price movements will largely now depend on Microsoft and Alphabet earnings tonight after market close. Microsoft is the most influential stock for the NASDAQ and Alphabet is the third. The two make up 14.25% of the overall index. If the two companies also witness their stocks decline after the earnings reports, the USA100 may struggle to gain upward momentum. EURJPY – Will Japan Intervene Again? In the currency market, the Japanese Yen remains within the spotlight as investors believe the Japanese Federal Government is likely to again intervene. The Federal Government has previously intervened in the past 12 months which caused a sharp rise in the Yen before again declining. The government opted for this option in an attempt to hinder a further decline. Volatility within the Japanese Yen will also depend on today’s US GDP reading and tomorrow’s Core PCE Price Index. However, investors will more importantly pay close attention to the Bank of Japan’s monetary policy. Investors will be keen to see if the central bank believes it is appropriate to again hike in 2024 as well as comment regarding inflation and the economy. In terms of technical analysis, breakout levels can be considered as areas where the exchange rate may retrace or correct. Breakout levels can be seen at 166.656 and 166.333. However, the only indicators pointing to a decline are the RSI and similar oscillators which advise the price is at risk of being “overbought”. Always trade with strict risk management.
