WTI Crude Oil Futures Weekly Chart Outlook via @KnovaWave
WTI continued higher after broke the topside of the channel it had been in since September, In any break, the key is crowd behavior to help tell the story. We watch ABC corrections and from here we got the energy from the break. Support is the Tenkan, old channel & prev high confluence. Watch Kijun & 50 dma.. Resistance MM and previous lows.
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. The climax of the larger acceleration lower after broke the weekly uptrend, a fractal of the sharp and all the way to all time lows to negative pricing we have seen mirror replications." Support is previous channels, tenkan and Kijun. Above we have Murrey Math time and price
