Crude Oil Day trading strategy; Screen to Floor Morning Prep




Crude Oil News
Crude Oil is moving higher this morning after news was released on Monday afternoon about a civil war in Syria disrupting supply channels to the US.  The big concern this morning is that US, and other nations, will attempt a military strike on Syria, and that may affect other oil-producing nations around the world.

Crude Oil PIT Direction
Crude Oil anchor 1
Syria is NOT a high-producing country for Oil, but the surrounding areas certainly are and traders are worried that the side-effects of a potential military action will have lasting effects on supply.

We begin with our anchor chart this morning and we see that price-action has tested the sell zone at 107.44 and is now looking to break to new highs above the bear price-channel.  It is very clear that this news from the middle is affecting the price of Crude Oil this morning; the big question now is ‘how far will it go’?  
Crude Oil Anchor 2

We have identified resistance overhead at 107.95, 108.63 and 109.55 to use as profit-targets this morning for the buyers.




Crude Oil 30-Minute Chart
We are trading above the PHOD this morning on the 30-minute VIP Chart of Crude Oil, above the previous week’s highs and headed to the 107.95 swing-high resistance overhead.  Again, we know WHY this is happening, but the big question today will be where it wants to go and when it will get there.  Will this rally continue with this type of strength?  Most likely not, but we will be watching.
