WTI D 1 15 2021

WTI has continued higher after it rebalanced chikou indicative of extreme crowd behavior in a series of fractals at last Dec wave 1 turn after we had completed 5 waves as marked, from here we watched 3 & 5 waves develop. Price popped after the spit of the 50wma (green) which is now key for support as Tenkan touched Kijun in a kiss of life. 

These are special times, recall “After we regained the pattern 261.8% from the extreme (-$40) move.
