Trying to hear what's not being said

RBOB Gasoline prices have converged to its 200 week moving average.
It’s been a while since it has danced around there.
It is also closing in registering a weekly oversold reading.
That was last seen 4 years ago.

A call that I’m not hearing much about it for lower #oil prices.
My historical posts have called for WTI Crude to around an initial visit to $64, and failing that $46-$48.
I think the probability for the latter is gaining.
Today, WTI Crude is $69.40.
A $46 price in WTI #Crude correlate with lower Nat Gas prices and the share prices of related petro/hydro chemical companies.
As an example, that may translate to seeing the trading of stock prices in companies such as #Woodside (WDS.AX) at A$19, #BP at 333p and #Occidental (OXY.N) <US$38.

WTI Crude Oil ain’t $80 anymore. It’s now $73.
In my note from mid-May, I opine that oil prices see $64 and perhaps $46.

The former #Shell CEO thinks the #SHEL stock price is ‘massively undervalued’.

No it’s not.
See you somewhere around at GBP 21.70, later in the year.

My December 4, 2023 note wrote of my expectation that WTI Crude Oil price (then $75) would trade down to $70 within a 10 day period.
It soon did.
My long position at that $70 entry price remains light and participatory.
While the strength of the downward trend wanes, it does remain intact, thus requiring respect.
The current price action in Oil is dependant on whether it makes ‘higher highs’ or ‘lower lows’.

WTI Crude Oil saw the $70 target within 3 days.
This post link alluded to seeing it within “next 10 days”.
The price is now $69.20, at the time of writing.
Now, I’m thinking the next move for WTI Crude Oil is towards $67.80 – $65.90 area, which may be seen quickly, perhaps the end of Monday’s U.S. trading session.
My buying interest is heightened.
Interestingly, WTI Crude Oil prices are in their 7th consecutive week of declines and now I don’t see any geopolitical risk premium.

WTI Crude is ‘looseley’ trading 15% below the price it saw on the first trading day following Hamas’ attack on Israel.
And Brent Crude is doing a similar thing.
While my previous writings have re-iterated the peril of ‘trading the headlines’, for those euphoric and momentum buyers of Crude Oil are wearing some pain.
An announced OPEC+ production cut has provided oil price with any interim support. Possibly another headline traded by many.
I’m looking for a WTI Crude price to visit the $70 mark before possible buy orders are placed.
While that is 5% below the current $73.70 price, it could see that level within the next 10 days.

The study below shows the percentage that the WTI Crude Oil price was trading above its 200 week moving average.
When combined with my other studies and metrics, (albeit I couldn’t predict this week’s 10% decline) the probability of the oil price embarking on an extended advance was waning.
More so (subjectively observed), when the financial media noise increased surrounding the various analysts saying $100 was inevitable.
This coincides with my note written 2 weeks earlier.
The high was $95, it is now $82, may see you at $73.10.
Better yet, we may see much cheaper shares in energy companies.

My call of WTI Crude Oil visiting $65 still stands.
So, WTI Crude has fallen $9 in the past 2 days.
Now, it’s trading at $73.70
But that’s just reporting the news.
Depending on the strength of the downtrend, the next stop below is ~$62 and failing that, then we may see $54.
(technical trending analysis hint: watch the ADX on the DMI)
Back when Oil was surging to $120, my writings were warning readers to not chase prices higher especially following parabolic price moves and the gravitational pull of long, long term moving averages.
To boot, the price of Oil tracks GDP, it is a large component of inflation readings….and I think that the WTI Oil price leads interest rates.
Keep in mind, that the U.S. 10 yer bond yield was recently 4.33% and now its 3.71%.
To wit, the 10 year bond yield could see 3.30%, if not 2.5% in several months, to latently mimic the Oil price.
So, I say, many had no business buying Oil at $115 nor betting that GDP will expand and the near halving of its price from those highs should be recognised as assisting the moderation of near-term inflation.
While I think $65 is possible, it’s not a time to ‘short’ Oil as such a bet is marginal. Oil may fall $10 or rise $10. Ho hum !!
The fat part of the short trade has been seen.
The preparation is for a low in Oil and then how that relates to other assets and securities.

The study below shows WTI Crude Oil making a notable low approximately 6 weeks after the AUD/JPY first enters weekly oversold territory.
Correlating the technicals in other assets helps me determine what I think may be a safer entry point, rather than relying solely on Oil price data.
Another example of this appeared in a recent post which monitors the Gold/Oil Ratio.
For now, I’d like to see WTI Crude trade down to the $65 mark.
