What 1-hour chart says?

10 giu 2022

Fundamental Development: Oil prices slipped on Friday but remained within touching distance of three-month highs as fears over new COVID-19 lock down measures in Shanghai outweighed solid demand for fuels in the United States, the world's top consumer. Brent crude futures for August were down 77 cents, or 0.6%, at $122.30 a barrel after a 0.4% decline the previous day. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude for July fell 72 cents, or 0.6%, to $120.79 a barrel, having dropped 0.5% on Thursday. Still, with prices overall rallying in the last two months, Brent was on track for a fourth consecutive weekly gain and WTI was set for a seventh straight weekly increase. Both benchmarks on Wednesday marked their highest closes since March 8, the highest settlements in 14 years.

Short Term Technical View: In 1-hour chart, XTIUSD is trading below middle line of Bollinger band indicator. As per the 1-hour chart, XTIUSD is trading below today pivot level 119.80. In daily chart WTI trend is uptrend, as per my view, buy on dip is good strategy for XTIUSD, buy range is 118.50 to 118, and there is very strong support zone at 117.50.

Alternative Scenario: If XTIUSD will trade below 117.50 and sustain below in U.S. Session so it will be, give great opportunity to sell with the target of 115.75 with the stop loss of 118.75.
