Crude Oil – April 8, 2026

Crude Oil has a BUY pattern appearing …

Apologize for being absent for so long during this volatile time. Honestly, moved into a new start up doing amazing things and, while I’ve certainly had my one eye on the market every day, I really haven’t been paying attention to it because, well, even though a TON of long term targets were hit and the volatility is pretty wild, it really HASN’T broken down …yet. I say yet, not as a fatalist, not at all. But just from the fact that our brothers and sisters in Egypt are w/out power – right now. Yup, they cut it. Look it up … Over in Asia, fuel shortages and rationing and minimal work days. The supply chain has been severely disrupted folks and, once again, if you are in the US we are sitting pretty – for now – due to our energy independence and a host of other things. And, trust me, that’s just me looking at it objectively. This is going create a rougher patch than the ‘glancing flesh wounds’ that are hitting peeps here and there … in the immortal words of the Dude “well, that’s your opinion man …” Yup and that is all it is …

So, w/ all the emotion flowing around I thought I’d take a look at Crude. Haven’t looked at it for a LONG time. Why? Mostly, because I didn’t know what to do w/ that -40 ish price. Yeah, no kidding … but, tonight, I just went “screw it, that was a price, so it counts.” Certainly appears to work …

What’s pretty amazing? In the height of, one would say, emotions like those who remember living thru 9-11, this conflict with Iran ranks up there in the “big deal” world. Guess what, the ratio’s and patterns are present throughout the conflict! Don’t believe me? See below … fractals peeps, it’s all fractals.

Ultimately, we will realize that the ‘seed’ is EVERYTHING. That initial measured move vector from an IPO or a big low or high contains the ‘DNA’ for that security. It has to be that way … just like the entire universe, that DNA creates a harmonic musical representation of the vibrational interactions of anything or anyone interested in said security at the quantum level which then creates the summation vibration of those emotions represented in price and time. Guess what, nature does the same thing …

So, after letting the emotional vibration play out in both fear and euphoria …they have left us THE seed to now manage risk in this insane environment. You see what happened there …? While you go thru the same emotions as those actually trying to trade these insanely volatile moods, you contribute to the footprint that is being left on the charts but you have the discipline to wait. So, you wait for the emotions – for this particularly security of Crude Oil Continuous Futures – to form the measured moves which are now your graphical representation of – get this – the vibration associated w/ crude oil and this current conflict. Yup …

Now, ALL futures moves in this emotional environment will be harmonic to the footprints left behind by the masses. Below is our first attempt to harness that information:

Gold / Oil :update 04/10/20

little higher for a very important target on the ratio of Gold/Oil

04/10/20 – our target level hit and, if you look closely below, you’ll see 5 waves down .. followed by 3 waves up into a “perfect” SELL PATTERN for the ratio. IF this pattern works (the big if) then expect Crude to strengthen against gold and, perhaps, keep the oil rally going for a little while longer.

one of my readers asked me a question on Gold/Oil ratio. below I have charted SPOT gold / futures oil (continuous contract) – wow, pretty amazing move … take a look at the 1.618 projection target a little higher. that ‘should’ (operative word) cause some resistance. additionally, if we keep this parabolic rise in the ratio then the 12 level on oil doesn’t seem to far fetched, does it? thanks again Ray for the ping … great question and observation. that’s what I see .. hope it helps.

Crude Oil Approaching BIG low …update to the update to the update

12/06/2017  – looks like we are smacking into some large resistance from a time and price perspective. here or a little higher should do it for Crude for now.

——————————————————————————————————————————-

2/2/2017 – can’t believe it’s been over a year since I posted on crude – but I guess it has. as you can see below, the ‘math’ tagged the low in crude.

where do we go from here? well, the ‘easy count’ and that’s what I’m into says – perhaps – a little higher and then down to take out 26 ?

no way, right? You Never Know.

interesting … the RATIO of USD / CRUDE

folks, need to pay attention  here … below you’ll find two charts:

  • RATIO of $$$ / Crude Oil (continuous contract) – note the nice sell pattern that completed a couple months ago.
    • now notice … we are hanging by a thread for USD to continue to weaken against Crude
  • Ratio of $$$ / Crude oil (continuous contract) – note the nice correlation of the tops/bottoms in the ratio and the moves in crude (makes sense)

All I’m saying is perhaps .. crude is going to continue to strengthen – relative strengths basis – against the USD?

WATCH CLOSELY …

1/11/2016 update.

note the percentage corrections … certainly looks like 30 and 25 are possibility. Especially since the OSX/NYA ratio hasn’t bottomed along w/ the Loonie but i do believe we are getting ready for a big bounce.

Update on ratio of OSX/NYA

05/31/2016

here’s an update to the BUY of the RATIO of OSX/NYA. couple things to note:

  • pattern held and note the move UP in Crude pretty much the same day the pattern hit
  • it’s not that much of a bounce …would expect it to have been bigger, especially w/ the move in Crude and the Loonie vs USD.
  • also, note the divergence in the ratio as the crude oil continued higher. this has usually led to a move lower in crude …
  • stay tuned, does this spell weakness ahead for Crude and the Loonie?

here’s the RATIO of $OSX / $NYA. it has a buy pattern HERE or a little LOWER.

below that is crude and CAD vs USD (USDCAD inverted) overlaid on top of the ratio.

they move together

so IF this BUY pattern works THEN we have a big move coming BULLISH for Crude and the Loonie.

Loonie, time to get long …

I missed my entry at the .786.  (was on travel)

That’s OK …what I’ll try to do is do a real time look at getting into the first retrace.

  • Here’s the charts …
    • Relative Strength of the $OSX / $NYA.
      • note, the AB-CD is a little lower but believe we are in the zone for the PATTERN To be complete
    • Crude
      • on schedule, and look at the daily, almost perfectly on time
    • USD vs LOONIE
      • smacked exactly into the .786 and other ratio’s and has begun to strengthen …

Note: using intermarket and ratio analysis we were able to synchronize the “POTENTIAL” pivot in the Loonie, using Crude, relative strength of the OSX and then the patterns on the Loonie.

Stay tuned as this might get really interesting.

this entire thing is wrong w/ a daily closing above the .786.

I have my line in the sand, I like that.
