Crude Oil Ready for Retracement – A Potential Trade Idea!
The Crude Oil slumped massively on Friday as U.S. refineries continued to recover from Hurricane Harvey. Sadly, the move was so quick to catch, however, I got a hot setup to trade today. Let's take a look …
Key Technical Drivers

Crude Oil – 4 Hour Chart – Fibonacci Retracement
The drop in the pair has made the Oil massively oversold at 12, which is recommending the bulls are looming around the area. The 50- periods EMA is near $48, suggesting a bearish trend in the oil.
At the moment, we can expect a slight reversal in Crude Oil up to 61.8% Fibonacci Retracement level of $48.49. But before this, Oil has to break above the resistance level of $48 (38.2% retracement level).
Crude Oil Trading Plan
Honestly speaking, the Crude Oil is in the middle of upper and lower limit now ($47 – $48.45). In this scenario, I'm looking to wait a bit for the market to test $47 to enter a Buy position. Else, I will be selling it below $48.50. Good luck!
