Crude Retracing? Why?

Recommended Posts

Folks that trade or follow light sweet crude would have noticed the nice rebound from two days ago. I for one wasn't expecting it to retrace. I'm interested to know if other CL traders were expecting the retrace, and if so, why? Was there a technical reason to the move? I'm interested in what your thoughts are for the move between Feb 29 and March 01.

Thanks for replying Steve. Just curious - did you mean profit-taking resulted in the move down? I was interested in the subsequent move up yesterday and the explosive move today. Is the move merely speculation based on the Iran situation or is there a technical side to it that I didn't see (that other traders might possibly have seen)?

Yes thats whats profit taking is...people liquidating profitable positions before the market takes back some of the profits....

 

And this market moves in levels.....traders wait until they see specific data then they position themselves to get on board to the next level...the smaller traders are the ones taking profits...most of the action is speculative based on news...very little on fundamental data.

 

Certainly no reason why you can't ask, but surely you must realize that no one is going to give up their edge on a public website...Your best bet is to become a good observer and read as much available data as possible...once you put the pieces together (if you still have capital) you should be able make a few dollars if you manage risk decently.

by the way, you ought to read some of the other "similar" threads listed below....depending on your native intelligence you may see that there are several distinct groups of folks trading this market....and as in most circumstances, one group (I like to call them "cowboys") is paying the others to play...

Probably triggered a solid wall of stops by the look of the chart

Unless you are a journalist trying to write an article about oil, the why is not important. You have to focus in the fact that it retraced and try to understand if it is just a retracement (opportunity to get in the trend) or a change in the trend (reversal), in which case the chance is to close longs and/or go short.

 

My 2 cents.

    • 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!
