Crude Oil 30-Minute
We can see price-action trading below the PLOD this morning on the 30-minute VIP Chart of Crude Oil Futures.  This is a big clue for us because it suggests the sellers are strong enough to push prices to new lower-lows and we will be watching closely to see if that trend continues lower, or if we get a price-reversal back above the PLOD we will buy with the Wave pattern using our InsideOut Set-up. 

Notice the PLOD below us at 105.60 will make an easy profit-target as well as a location for a high-percentage buying opportunity.

Crude Oil Anchor Chart 1
Crude Oil is trading lower this morning after testing major resistance at 107.41 on our 5400-tick anchor chart.  We can see that price-action has ‘pierced’ the support zone below us at 106.30 and attempting to test the lows of that zone at 105.52.

The most important clues we get from this anchor chart #1 is that we are coming off the highs of the bear price-channel, which tells us the sellers are in control in the short term.  We also want to keep a close eye on these support levels below us today because they will be ideal locations for a profit-target and/or a price-reversal trade later in the day.

Crude Oil Anchor Chart 2
The 1800-tick anchor chart shows us a lot more information this morning.  We can see the short term bullish price-channel has come into play and we’ve tested the lows of this price-channel with a recent candlestick that shows signs of the lows holding strong.  You can see the big ‘wick’ on the most recent candlestick shows that the sellers did indeed try to move lower but the buyers were able to fight that off easily. 


The most important clue we see on the Anchor chart #2 is the new bull price-channel, telling us to buy at these lows as soon as we start heading higher this morning.  We also need to keep an eye on the support zones below us because those will make for excellent profit-targets and locations for a price-reversal trade.


Crude Oil Entry Chart
The 600-tick anchor chart shows us the same bull price-channel, however, now we are able to see where the resistance zones appear overhead.  We will keep a close eye on those resistance zones above us for profit-targets after we buy-the-lows of the bull price-channel.
