Oil Short Term Forecast Update And Follow Up

Hi Traders! Oil short term forecast update and follow up is here. On March 17th I shared this “Oil Short Term Forecast And Technical Analysis” post in our blog. In this post, let’s do a recap of this setup and see how it has developed now.

My Idea

On the H1 chart, the price which was moving lower reached a key support zone that has formed by the 61.8%(92.590) Fibonacci expansion level of the first wave. The price respected this zone and is currently bouncing higher from this zone. Also, we could see that the price which was moving lower created a bullish divergence that has formed between the first low that has formed on 15th March 2022 and the second low that has formed on 16th March 2022 based on the MACD indicator. The price then moved higher and broke above the last high at 97.888 creating higher highs, thus forming a classical setup of bullish divergence followed by bullish convergence. Hence as per the book scenario, after a bullish convergence, we may look for corrections to happen and then further continuation to the upside. In addition to this, the ADX indicator gave a bullish signal here at the cross of +DI (green line) versus -DI (red line) and the main signal line (silver line) reads value over 25, we may consider these as evidences of bullish pressure. So based on all this, my short term view here is bullish and I expect the price to move higher further after pullbacks.

Oil H1(1 Hour) Chart Current Scenario

On the H1 chart, based on the above-mentioned analysis my short-term view was bullish here and I was expecting the price to move higher further after pullbacks. After the bullish convergence, the pullback that I was looking for happened with the price creating a bullish hidden divergence between the first low that has formed at 92.646 and the second low that has formed at 100.798 based on the MACD indicator, which we may consider as a fact provided by the market supporting the bullish view. Also, in addition to this, there were no signs opposing this short term bullish view. The price then moved higher further as I expected it to and delivered a nice move to the upside as you can see in the image below.
On the M15 chart, the market provided us with various facts supporting the bullish view. The price which was moving lower created a bullish divergence between the first low that has formed at 101.650 and the second low that has formed at 100.798 based on the MACD indicator. The price then moved higher and broke above the most recent downtrend line, we may consider these as facts provided by the market supporting the bullish view. Then as you can see in the image below how the price moved higher after that and provided a nice move to the upside.

So, traders, this is why I wanted to show this example to help you understand how important it is to follow the facts. The facts were supporting the bullish view here and there were no signs against it. When the facts do happen as we expected you can see how the price perfectly moved as per the plan. Because these are the kind of hints the market provides us at majority of the times and it’s our obligation as traders to be able to listen to these things that the market tells us and we should try to make the right actions.
