WTI Steadies as Rate-Cut Bets and Supply Risks CollideWTI Steadies as Rate-Cut Bets and Supply Risks Collide
WTI crude hovered around $64 on August 25, steady after last week’s gains as traders balanced U.S. rate-cut expectations with geopolitical risks. The Fed is seen 85% likely to cut rates in September, boosting demand outlooks.
Supply concerns persist after Washington threatened 50% tariffs on Indian imports over Russian oil purchases, while India signaled it will keep buying from Moscow. Stalled Russia-Ukraine talks and renewed attacks on energy infrastructure add to uncertainty.
USOIL trade ideas
US OIL LONG RESULT Oil Price had been in multiple falling channel until reaching the support from which it consolidated in a sideways falling wedge and broke to the upside, from which I took the long setup, but price didn't retest the zone to fill it, so I took another entry from the next demand zone and boom, TP done ✅
_THE_KLASSIC_TRADER_.💪🔥
Crude Oil pauses as fed meets supplyOil steadied after a strong week, with WTI holding around $63. Markets are balancing the Fed’s signal of rate cuts, which could support demand, against rising supply from OPEC+ that risks creating an oversupply. The U.S. also moved to double tariffs on Indian imports in retaliation for its continued purchases of Russian crude, though Indian refiners signaled they’ll keep buying from Moscow. Risk assets gained broadly on expectations of easier monetary policy, but analysts cautioned that underlying fundamentals still point to downside risks. On the geopolitical front, Washington has intensified efforts to end the war in Ukraine, with Trump warning of “massive sanctions” on Russia if no deal is reached soon.
On the technical side, the price of crude oil is currently testing the resistance area consisting of the 61.8% of the weekly Fibonacci retracement level and the dynamic resistance between the 50 and 100-day simple moving averages. The Bollinger bands have somewhat contracted, showing that volatility in the market for crude might be slowing down for the time bein,g while the Stochastic oscillator is pushed near the extreme overbought levels, hinting that there might be a bearish correction in the upcoming session,s possibly retesting the lows of $62.

Bearish Outlook: Short Position Based on Technical and FundamentBased on a detailed assessment of key support and resistance levels, as well as recent fundamental news, I believe the price is set to decline. The current price action is approaching a critical resistance zone, which has historically proven to be a strong reversal point. Combined with bearish market sentiment driven by , the outlook for the asset appears to be skewed to the downside.
The risk-reward ratio on this short position is favorable, with the potential for significant profit if the price breaks THE ACCTUAL PRICE. I will be monitoring this trade closely for any signs of reversal or further confirmation of bearish momentum.
Bearish continuation?WTI Oil (XTI/USD) is rising towards the pivot and could reverse to the 1st support, which is a pullback support.
Pivot: 65.65
1st Support: 60.66
1st Resistance: 70.97

OILUSD Testing 64.576 ResistanceWTI Crude Oil rebounded from the 61.717 support zone and is now pushing into the 64.576 resistance area, where sellers previously stepped in.
Support at: 63.090 | 61.717 | 59.869 | 55.451
Resistance at: 64.576 | 66.280 | 70.265 | 75.329
🔎 Bias:
Bullish: A breakout above 64.576 could fuel momentum toward 66.280.
Bearish: Rejection here may lead to a retest of 63.090 and possibly 61.717.
📛 Disclaimer: This is not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.
WTI Crude Oil · M15 · 24-Aug — “Buy the Dip into EMA/Donchian”🟢 Bias: Intraday long after spike, buy the dip into Donchian + EMA support.
Entry: $62.90 – $63.20
Stop-Loss: $61.95
Targets: TP1 $63.80 · TP2 $64.70 · TP3 $66.00
RRR (from $63.10): Risk $1.15 → TP3 +$2.90 = ~1:2.5 ✅
Why this works:
Confluence: Donchian support ($62.91) + 200 EMA M15 ≈ $62.38 (white).
Structure: Higher highs/lows since Aug-20; volume expands on pushes, compresses on pullbacks.
HTF context: H4 pressing toward 200 EMA ≈ $64.7–$65.0 (key pivot).
Execution: Look for a bullish rejection/engulfing inside the box + 8/21 EMA hold (orange/blue) above the 200 EMA (white).
Risk: ≤ 1%. Move SL→BE after TP1.
Trade Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (High if retest holds and 8/21 maintain bullish structure)

USOIL: Swing Trading & Technical Analysis
The recent price action on the USOIL pair was keeping me on the fence, however, my bias is slowly but surely changing into the bearish one and I think we will see the price go down.

USOIL: Strong Bearish Sentiment! Short!
My dear friends,
Today we will analyse USOIL together☺️
The recent price action suggests a shift in mid-term momentum. A break below the current local range around 63.81 will confirm the new direction downwards with the target being the next key level of 63.10 and a reconvened placement of a stop-loss beyond the range.
❤️Sending you lots of Love and Hugs❤️
USOIL Is Going Down! Sell!
Please, check our technical outlook for USOIL.
Time Frame: 1h
Current Trend: Bearish
Sentiment: Overbought (based on 7-period RSI)
Forecast: Bearish
The market is approaching a significant resistance area 63.760.
Due to the fact that we see a positive bearish reaction from the underlined area, I strongly believe that sellers will manage to push the price all the way down to 63.300 level.
P.S
Overbought describes a period of time where there has been a significant and consistent upward move in price over a period of time without much pullback.

US Crude oil Spotits neo wave alternative count for wave 1 of wave C in lower degree and it wave C of Wave 2 or Wave A let see. Earlier posted little different wave 1 count and wave 2 count for wave C let see which one fit as in progress . In both case near $67 is invalidation point. Also bearish gartley and other harmonic pattern developed which I shown in charts in previous post. I am not SEBI registered analyst and its not buy , sell and hold recommendation and having position in it in mcx.
Spot WTI Crude oilas per neo C wave going on, 1st leg completed or wave C completed that time will tell.
