While I'm not fond of holding over the weekend, if there were ever a time bad news would change or add to a situation, both oil and gold would benefit, you have one, good luck D

Haha probably is as good a time as any to hold over the weekend. Any action or threat could send it flying even if it’s quickly sold into Monday open

best of luck to everyone. You are in the best market for strict auctions tests that has decent volatility and $$$. Although, try to trade the CL futures contract when you can.

{quote} my 2 cents: brent wise it is nicely moving in an uptrend with 1st wave 56.x --> 68-69 completed after which it took a breather to 65-66. now we see this geopolitical based sudden rally bk to 69.x. such event shock based rallies might usually be sold off bk to fundamental levels and sustained rally shud always be accompanied by fundamentals like manufacturing/etc for crude .. so if 69 +/- not able to hold then spot can revisit 64-66$ area which is strong fundamental support at the moment. ofcourse i can be wrong and maybe next wave has already...
fyi last time we had such degree of backwardation in the mkt .. talking of brent here .. spot was trading 77-79 and the reason back then in 2018 was Iran only. I am not saying that spot will move there but the mkt is very vulnerable to go higher esp looking at the backwardation (high bkwardation environment has a tendency ti pull up spot prices .. bkwardation feeds bkwardation .. and same for contango). will see how it moves next week.

Hey Prash,

Hope the weekend served its purpose and you got some sleep...

Some visual thoughts on the current structure as per the weekly close, our averages have sloped up again and as such looking to continue with buy dip mode on the retest...lets see how it opens to mark out some levels for Monday.....

We should be looking at a pretty nice gap up when the markets open. It's not going to be anything like when Saudi Arabia was bombed, but we've certainly had some important headlines over the weekend that raised instability in the Middle East. The Dow is set to drop 115pts as of this post:

Ef, had the Dow short Friday and waited till the end to close, only scraped a BE+ thought the topple may have came then, didn't want to hold the weekend, will be looking for an entry first chance, WTI, looks like Mz getting the beers in D

I am selling backwardation on brent here. i think this might be the best trades of the yr maybe. fyi backwardation this morning is now higher than 2018 and not v far from whr it was in 2013 and infact higher than 2008 levels ... does not mean it has to go down straight .. but mayb over weeks/months .. also it does not mean i am selling spot .. instead i am betting on bkend performing better than front over time, tks.

Noted Prash....
I see what you’re saying....and given your long term approach you may be onto something, I just don’t wanna hold onto it for that long, will rather collect my share in a day or two and get out......
with that said some levels I’ll be looking at today are as follows
65.71
64.74
64.38
63.63
62.97



will be looking at going long on any dip towards
62.98
SL 61.45
TP Open

WTI will either pullback or move sideways with the absence of more news. The danger is in this current climate a news event can occur in the blink of an eye and send it flying
