Brent Crude Oil Analysis

A stronger US dollar as well as the things about the Iranian nuclear deal that would add to oversupply in case this deal may get through Congress seems to give the Brent Crude Oil market pressure to the downside. Also a somewhat larger fundamental issue shall be OPEC and its reluctance to reduce output. Furthermore OPEC's production seems to been trending higher in the recent months. All that should add to a weaker market. To be noticed is also the expiring August Brent crude oil futures today.

With looking at the monthly perspective of September's Brent crude oil futures contract (ICEEUR), we can see a one time framing lower market inside of a balance area that occurs since serveral months. Currently the market is testing the bracket low, a level to be watched.


Moving forward to the weekly timeframe, a one time framing lower market that occuring since several weeks is visible here as well. We can also oberve a potential continuing move to the week's balance area low. However, in the previous week we seen some support at the marked level. We'll see how this week's market will react to that particular area.


Also, the daily perspective reveals a rotational behavior in the last couple of days with testing the current balance area low. The market could not break Tuesday's low for a potential test of the next supportive level at around $55.60, the low from July 7, to finially see a ongoing one time framing lower market in case trader's are in a short position.


Anway, be open minded and stay focused for other possible scenarios.

Active Risk/Position Management - Trading Glossary

Active Risk/Position Management is achieved through adding and scaling out of a trading position throughout a move. The goal is to eliminate position risk by taking profit on part of a position while the market moves in the desired direction of the trade. By capturing profits, the core position is protected against the market failing to reach the desired target area and stopped out at a loss.

EUR/USD Top Down Analysis

All information is for educational use only and is not investment advice. There is a substantial risk of loss in trading commodity futures, stocks, options and foreign exchange products. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

With all the worries about Europe let's take a quick look into the EUR/USD currency pair with our top down analysis aproach on plain candle charts.

As usual, we begin with the monthly perspective. With looking at this timeframe, we can see that the market found some balance after a one time framing lower behavior for several months. We can see a potential balance area forming here now. The pervious month was an inside month and the current month seem to found some resistance at the possible bracket high. Will we see a move to the bracket low now? We'll see.


Moving forward to the weekly perspective, we can identify two balance areas. Last week the market found support at the previous bracket high as well as at the current bracket low. Inside of the bracket the market is one time framing lower right now. We will observe how the current week will react to this supportive level.


Now to the daily timeframe. A lot of nervosity is visible here in our opinion. Today we formed a balance area and the bracket low could serve as support now. We also marked some more potential support levels if the market would brake below the balance area low. Also, today's market has leaved us with a poor low, that could be a heads up to moving lower here. However, everything is possible here with the political situation in Europe.
