Light Crude Oil cheap prices forecast

As explained in a previous Light Crude Oil (CL) analysis, as major economies go into lockdown, oil demand continues to fall off a cliff. A few weeks ago, the U.S. was doing very little against the corona virus propagations, but things have changed dramatically. In just a couple of weeks, there has been a proliferation of school cancellations, mass gathering prohibitions and mandatory telework orders, following suit with what has been done in other countries like China, France and Spain. Restaurant and many other businesses closures have happened.

#CL chart price analysis

In the mean time Light Crude Oil continued to drop, it dropped so much that it has reached unprecedented lows dropping underneath $20 a barrel, the lowest price in many years.

Oil prices were up on Tuesday amid increased hopes that OPEC and Russia will agree to cut production at a meeting on Thursday. Oil prices have plunged more than 66% this year because of the twin hits of the coronavirus outbreak slashing fuel demand and a price war between top producers Saudi Arabia and Russia.

There are great short opportunities much higher around $55 a barrel, but still a long way to go. Crude Oil is very cheap now, it’s at a bargain. Many investors will probably be buying Crude Oil futures and oil related stocks since these assets haven’t been so cheap in ages.

#CL supply and demand imbalances

As supply and demand traders, we do not need to pay attention to the news, fundamentals or any earnings reports. Once a big timeframe imbalance has gained control, earnings do just the opposite and react strongly to those imbalances. Why is it that you see positive earnings and then the underlying stock drops like a rock, or a negative earnings announcement and the stock rallies like a rocket out of control? You are probably missing the fact that there are big imbalances gaining control.

Unless you are doing very short term trading and scalping, you should not worry about fundamentals or earnings announcements on Crude Oil.

You can use these imbalances to plan your trades in lower timeframes. Trading is just waiting for the right trigger points and scenarios to present themselves, this game has got a name and it’s called the waiting game. We need to patiently wait for the correct scenarios and setups to happen and wait for price to pullback or dip into the price levels we want to trade, in our case these price levels are made of supply and demand imbalances.
