OIL Visual Trading Update

Current Trading Plan:

Long: Since 75.80
Short: Under 80.70
Exit by Stop Loss: 81.50

Technical Indicators Notes:

Friday we said "It was an amazing up move, like this commodity can sometimes perform. Highly overbought (Daily) with a very steep ascent, therefore we have moved the SL for exit to a new higher value. To start to think about a correction (or reversal), we need to see the price go under each of the parallel trend lines (4H). Look at the distance between the price and its SMA (Daily)." Nothing changed!

Chart Legend:
Simple Moving Average (20) – Green
Support & Resistance price areas: Brown
Trend lines and Channel Boundaries: Blue
Indicator trend lines and effects: Magenta

Signals:
Long: Above the wide Green line.
Short: Below the wide Red line.
Exit position: On crossing the wide Cyan line.
