Bearish Scenario: Sales below 80.00 with TP1: 79.34, TP2: 78.94, TP3: 78.55, and 78.00 with S.L. above 81.00 or at least 1% of account capital*.
Bullish Scenario: Buys above 78.00 (wait for a retracement to the zone) with TP: 79.34 TP2: 80.00, and TP3: 81.00 with S.L. below 77.00 or at least 1% of account capital*. Apply trailing stop.
The recent attack by the United States and its allies on over a dozen Houthi targets in Yemen, in retaliation for a series of attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, has led to a bullish opening in crude oil markers out of fear of potential disruptions in maritime transport and the conflict escalating into a broader regional conflagration.
However, while the conflict has not yet translated into an actual disruption of oil supply, prices are expected to continue at a moderate ascent driven solely by market speculation until news of diplomatic negotiations or temporary resolutions emerge. On the other hand, OPEC+ production cuts and tight demand will maintain a balanced situation in the short term.
XBRUSD, with a 100% bullish opening, rose 2.5% between the Asian and European sessions, reaching the selling zone at the Point of Control (POC)* from December 27 at 80.31. The rebound from this zone indicates that bears are defending it to prompt a decline towards the broken resistance at 79.34 and the buying zone around 78.00, where yesterday's uncovered POC* and the daily average bearish range are located, allowing coverage of the volume inefficiency of today's opening. The RSI reaching the overbought area may offer a bearish signal by confirming its decline below 70.
*Uncovered POC. POC= Point of Control: It is the level or zone where the highest volume concentration occurred. If a bearish movement follows, it is considered a selling zone. If there was a bullish impulse, it is considered a buying zone.
