November WTI Crude Oil, Daily ChartA few technicals:
38% Fibonacci retracement remains intact at $49.77
Swing high of $51.11 is this week’s high water mark
Compression zone of $50.00-$51.00 is daily value
The $50.00 psyche level is a monster!! Respect it!
Bottom Line: This market is stuck in rotation. Without an outside stimulus, (as was Wednesday’s FED announcements) we are not likely to deviate from the psych level of $50.00.
Practicing a scalping methodology, shorts from $50.95-$50.99 with a stop above the swing high of $50.11 is a solid plan moving into the middle of the U.S. session. 1:1 R/R is a good guideline for what seems to be a lazy Friday.
As always, trade smart and for tomorrow!
