Crude Oil Day trading strategy Morning Prep; Screen to Floor 08/02/13



Crude Oil News










Crude Oil Anchor Chart:
Crude Oil has ALMOST tested the highs at 108.93 from earlier in the month of July, and this morning our anchor chart shows us barely missing that high and falling back down.

Crude Oil Anchor Chart
At this time we are going to look for one of three scenarios.  First, price-action may trade sideways ahead of the Non-Farm Payroll news this morning, and if it does we will sit-on-hands.  Second, price-action may try to re-test the highs of the range, and if it does we will buy pullbacks with the Wave pattern long.  Third, price-action may decide to drop lower from here, and if it does we will be selling retracements using the Wave pattern short.


Crude Oil Set-up:

The 610-tick chart of Crude Oil shows us that price-action has come off the highs at 108.82, our cloud turns to red as the trend changes from bullish to bearish, and we are looking to sell short this morning.






Crude Oil 5-Minute:
Crude Oil 5-Min
The 5-minute chart of Crude Oil shows us below the PHOD and above the PLOD, inside the range from Thursday and moving lower.  We can see support levels below us at 107.32 and 107.07 which will be great profit-targets for selling short, and a place we will look for a price-reversal to start the move back higher.
We will be keeping a close eye on the PHOD and PLOD this morning because they will both have strong price-action if we break them.
