🎯 Market Overview & Thesis:
A decisive bearish structure is confirmed on UKOIL (Brent Crude). Price is exhibiting a classic pullback to retest the dynamic resistance of the Triangular Moving Average (TMA), presenting a high-probability short opportunity for day and swing traders. The momentum suggests a continuation downward towards significant support.

📉 Trading Plan (BEARISH):
Direction: 🐻 SELL (Short)
Strategy: "The Thief" Layer Entry 🎯 - This method uses multiple, staggered limit orders to achieve an optimal average entry price and manage risk dynamically.

Confirmation: Await price rejection from the TMA on the 4H or Daily chart. Look for bearish candlestick patterns (like bearish engulfing, pin bars) for an extra confirmation signal.

⚙️ Trade Execution & Risk Management:
🎯 LAYER ENTRY (Sell Limit Orders):
Layer 1: 64.500
Layer 2: 64.000
Layer 3: 63.500

Pro Tip: You can scale the number of layers and size based on your personal risk tolerance and account size.

🛑 STOP LOSS (Thief's Escape Route):
A collective Stop Loss can be placed above the recent swing high and key resistance at 65.000.
Disclaimer for the Thief OG's 👑: Adjust your SL based on your strategy & risk appetite. I am not a financial advisor; protect your capital at your own discretion.

🎯 TARGET (Police Barricade - Strong Support):
Our primary target is the 60.500 zone. This area acts as a strong support confluence (oversold bounce, potential trap, and correction zone).
Strategy: "Escape with Profits" once this level is tested. Consider taking partial profits on the way down.

Final Note to the Thief OG's 👑: This is my analysis. The final decision to take money (profit) is yours alone. Manage your trade actively!

🔍 Related Pairs & Key Correlations (Must-Watch!):
USOIL (WTI Crude): Highly correlated. A bearish move in Brent will almost certainly be mirrored in WTI. Watch for confirmation.
XAUUSD (Gold): Often has an inverse correlation with the USD. A strong dollar (which hurts oil) can sometimes benefit gold. Monitor for risk-off sentiment.
USDX (U.S. Dollar Index): CRITICAL. Oil is priced in USD. A strengthening dollar (USDX ↑) typically makes oil more expensive for other currencies, pushing prices down (UKOIL ↓). This is a key driver.
XBRUSD (Brent Cash): This is the underlying asset for UKOIL. Watch it for direct price action.
Energy Stocks (XLE, BP, SHEL): A falling oil price often pressures major energy company stocks.
