Oil range signals more weakness ahead as gaps remain unfilled

Gregor Horvat Wavetraders

As you know, on crude oil, we have been tracking corrective price action since the spike to 119 at the beginning of March. Despite breaking below the trendline support around 95 back on April 8th, the market managed to stabilize around 82, from where we are now seeing a new swing higher.

So rather than a sharp and impulsive drop in wave C, it now looks like this could be part of a more complex correction, with a triangle currently the most likely scenario. This is still a bearish pattern, but it allows the price to stay trapped in a wider range between roughly 118 and 80 for a bit longer. And so far we can see that market is coming lower as expected, ideally looking to fill the gaps from April 19th with d wave, maybe even will go for March 1st after whole triangle wave B is over, which suggests that this correction from 119 is not finished yet.

Recent developments also pressured oil lower, as optimism around a possible US-Iran deal reduced geopolitical fears. At the same time, OPEC+ announced a modest output increase for June, helping ease supply concerns and weighing on energy prices in the short term.

Markets question Fed's inflation resolve after July FOMC meeting

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh continues to project a tough stance on inflation, repeatedly promising to restore price stability and keep inflation anchored at the central bank's longstanding 2% target. But according to Mike Maharrey in this week's Money Metals Midweek Memo, markets are beginning to judge the Fed by its actions rather than its rhetoric—and so far, they aren't convinced.

9-3: Is the Federal Reserve’s vote tally Warsh's new forward guidance?

The rate did not move. Neither did the statement, and that’s the more interesting fact. Set the July 29 Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statement beside the one issued on June 17, and the two documents are identical apart from a single verb and a paragraph at the bottom naming three dissenters.
