The American Petroleum Institute (API) inventories failed to surprise the oil traders as the stockpiles increase by 0.933M vs. 2.700M before thus the bearish market is currently on hold. I spotted an excellent trade setup. Take a look.

Fundamentals Overview

Last week, most of the market is trading Crude Oil with bearish sentiment after the API reported that crude stockpiles rose by 933,000 barrels, which is less than the expected increase of 2.7M barrels.

The investors are looking to official data by the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), due at 15:30 GMT. Economists are anticipating a build of 2.4M barrels vs. a -1.6M in inventories. Oil is trading under pressure at the moment due to the forecast.

Technical View

On the 1-hour chart, Crude Oil has formed a bullish pattern that completed the C to D wave near $62.65. We can expect a bounce back in the oversold Crude Oil.
