Crude Oil Day trading strategy; Screen to Floor Morning Prep 08/09/13

Crude Oil News
Crude Oil has been on a wild ride this summer and this morning we can see the roller-coaster of price-action continues to make for many trading opportunities on both sides of the market.

We can see Crude Oil made new lower-lows in Thursday’s trading session, down to 102.22 before popping back up to test the trend-line resistance around 104.60 earlier this morning.
Crude Oil 2584-tick Anchor Chart


We can see the trend-line reacted well as resistance so we will expect to see prices attempt to test the lows at 102.22 once again this morning. 

If the buyers can hold control over price-action we will try to re-test the trend-line once again, and if we are successful above 104.96 we can then start looking for buying opportunities up to 105.51 and 106.28.

Crude Oil 5-Minute VIP
Crude Oil is trading inside the trading-range from Thursday on the 30-minute anchor chart this morning.  We can see the price-action has been moving lower all week, which means we have the PHOD above us 5-times as major resistance.  Look for the trading-range from 102.22 up to 104.96 as the most important range we use today.  If the buyers try to breakout to the up-side they will be met with resistance at 104.96, which means we are looking for a SHORT at the PHOD when the buyers fail.

If the sellers push to new lower-lows below 102.22 we will look for selling-opportunities with strong selling.  If those sellers fail below the 102.22 PLOD we will then use the Inside-Out Set-up to get long back inside the range.

Crude Oil 610-tick Anchor Chart
The faster 610-tick chart for Crude Oil shows us a big clue this morning in the most recent price-action.  We can see the bull price-channel and green-cloud which suggests a bullish trend, however, we can see a test of the swing-low at 103.71 and this price-action looks ready to collapse and move back lower.

This price-action we see on the entry chart timeframe suggests we will return to the lows on the anchor chart around 102.22.  It looks good for a 2-sided trading session today, with solid trading ranges above and below us we could easily see this price action move from top to bottom, bottom to top in today's Friday session.
