Weekly Trading Plan Crude Oil, Gold (XAU USD) and S&P 500 (SPX500) 04192020

This is my weekly outlook on crude oil, gold and the S&P 500. Basically the levels that I will be looking at where it has a higher probabilistic chance the market will start reacting. Then I come up with ways I think the market might react around those levels. During the session I then wait for the market to hit those levels and either confirm or reject my hypothesis. I hope that makes sense. If not, please get in touch with me. I am not selling you anything. I just love to talk to people that are on the same path as me. So don’t be shy and reach out. 

Observations of the market – Crude Oil

  • M: Still almost 2 weeks before the candle closes. Price is trading in the bottom half of the candle but unclear if we’ll see more downside. Will have to wait for the close of the candle. No Q points.
  • W: Consolidation in process. Too early to say if it’s a pennant or flag. Continuation down possible. Still 200+ ticks room on the downside before hitting Weekly Demand ZOI at 23.20. No Q points.
  • D: Failed to make a convincing bullish move and the last 6 trading days have all been closing down. Furthermore price is entering Daily Demand ZOI around 25.40. Q points active and QLo at 23.70. 
  • H4: Price failure to hold above VWAP. H4 Q points same as Daily. Stronger H4 Demand ZOI (8) right at QLo 23.70.
