Hello all!
I have a potential setup for you this morning in Crude Oil on the 4 hour chart.
Crude Oil has made a potentially significant move to the downside (as evidenced by the new momentum low on the MACD, and the puncture of the lower keltner channel). Price has been consolidating since, and has retraced approximately 40%, as of the time of writing.
We will be interested in entering short on a breakdown of this consolidation. If this trade is triggered, I will be taking partial profits at the pivot low of the trend leg - my stop loss will be located above the pivot high of the consolidation leg.

Remember, only use this trade idea in line with YOUR OWN trading strategy. This is the bare bones of an idea that should only be implemented in conjunction with your own trading system.
Also, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND that the US will release their data concerning crude oil inventories in about an hour from now. This may cause significant volatility in the market and whiplashes can occur. The ongoing US-Iran tensions are also a major factor to keep in mind when trading Crude oil as any developments cause lead to unpredictable price fluctuations.
Happy trading!
