Crude Oil has been very tricky lately and it looks like it is going to continue further down before making a new high. I know it's very near to do so but until we have I am very in favor of the bearish outlook of it.
The count begins with an ABC zigzag starting the 25th of April and ending the 17th of May 2022:
>Wave A being an impulse ending the 29th of April around the price of 108$.
>Wave B being an expanded flat ending the 11th of May around the price of 98$.
>Wave C being an impulse ending the 17th of May around the price of 115$.
Later, it was followed by an impulse down, the waves (i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v), of what could itself be either the first wave of a new zigzag ((a)) or of an impulse ((i)).
If the count is right, we should now be ending either the ((b)) wave or the wave ((2)) which has been a zigzag with a triangle as its' wave (b).
Scenario I, impulse:
If this first five waves down was the beginning of an impulse, then we should aim the 161.8% fib extension target for wave ((iii)) which is around the price of 98.8$.
Scenario II, zigzag:
If the first impulse down was the beginning of a zigzag, then we should aim at the 100% fib extension target instead for wave ((c)) which is around the price of 105$.
As you can see, this entire count for future price action will become unvalid if the price makes a new high over 115$. But this is what makes it such a great reward risk ratio. ;)
My advice is of course to wait for a push down.
With ((i)) or ((a)) I mean rounded i or rounded a. In previous posts I tried to write it more clearly but the symbol disapeared in the text.
