Monday Morning Crude Oil Day Trading Strategy Prep; Screen to Floor 07/15/13


Marty's Pit Session Levels









Dollar-Index 60-Minute:

Dollar Index 60-Minute
We can see the Dollar-Index breaking out to new higher-highs this morning above the 83.425 highs of the sideways-trading-range.  We have support below us at 83.115 and resistance overhead at 83.783.  Look for prices to pullback as they move higher into the 83.783 above, and remember that Dollar-Index resistance is considered support on other markets we trade using the negative correlation.

This is just a snapshot of our Morning-newsletter which is posted every trading day at 8:00am EST in our Members Section.

Crude Oil Daily:
Crude Oil Daily
We can see Crude Oil trading in a narrow sideways-trading-range on the daily chart.  We can see big candlestick wicks at the tops and bottoms over the last 4 daily candles, which tells us the market personality will likely be 2-sided until we breakout of this trading-range.




Crude Oil 240-Minute:
Crude Oil 4-Hour
We can see the sideways-trading-range on the 4-hour chart very easily.  We have sell-zones above us at 106.05 and 107.11 and trigger-zones below us at 104.79 and 103.99.  We can see from this chart that our job this morning will be to trade this 2-sided market personality buying the lows and selling the highs of this range.



Crude Oil 60-Minute:

The hourly chart of Crude Oil paints a very powerful picture for us this morning.  We can see the bullish price-channel is struggling to hold this price-action above the 104.79 trigger-zone support and overhead resistance at 105.88 to 106.25 has clearly held as the sellers are trying to break this price-channel.  This type of chart structure tells us to buy the lows of the range at 104.79 to 104.16 and sell the highs at 105.88 and 106.78 this morning for the high-percentage-trades.

Crude Oil 5-Minute:
Crude Oil 5-Minute
The 5-Minute chart of Crude Oil shows us more of the sideways-trading-range we found on the anchor chart this morning.  We can see the trading-range coming out of the London trading Session is very wide, suggesting that we will consolidate a little this morning before trying to break out of this range again. Notice that we are inside the range from last Friday, making today a 2-sided day right out the gate, and with the trend-lines above and below us we know that our day trading plan this morning is to sell-the-high at resistance and buy-the-lows at support.

VIP Buy-zone Level for today:    105.11 / 104.81
VIP Sell-zone Level for today:     106.50 / 106.20
