On the 7th November 2024 trading session, oil can be seen highly volatile on the 2nd consecutive trading session, where the price went down near the supporting trendline and sharply reversed, breaking the 6th Nov day high of 72.63. Currently, the price is moving upwards in an uptrend channel but with high volatility.
On a daily time frame, the price is facing resistance from the 72.40 level, which has been a resistance for a long time. Closing the price above this level on the daily time frame will trigger a sharp rally towards the upside.
Looking at the price on a 15 min time frame, the price can be seen moving upwards in a channel, also creating an ascending triangle pattern. Oil is currently highly volatile, so traders should consider trading it only when it nears support or resistance levels.
There are multiple entry triggers one can follow for creating an entry.
Oil is currently testing its long-term support trendline. If the price fails to break it and creates a reversal candle, buyers can consider making an entry with a stop loss placed below the previous swing low and a target of 72.60.
If the price breaks the long-term supporting trendline and the candle successfully closes below the 70.66 level, then sellers may consider entering the trade with a stop loss placed above the previous swing high and a target of 60.86.
A selling side entry can be planned if the price creates a rejection zone between the 72.63 and 72.40 levels, with a stop loss placed above the previous swing high and a target till the supporting trendline.
