Oil Futures Market Context & Directional Bias
At the time of this analysis, crude oil trades at 59.90, sitting just one cent above today’s bullish threshold at 59.89. This means that for now, the bias is bullish, though traders should remember that these thresholds dynamically evolve throughout the session.
For higher conviction, many traders may prefer to wait for a sustained move above this threshold before committing to a long position. That confirmation could come through a few consecutive candle closes above the level or via a brief retest that holds above it.
Key Levels & Partial-Profit Strategy for Oil Traders Today and This Week
Bullish Scenario (above 59.89):
Price holding above 59.89 keeps the short-term outlook positive.
Partial profit targets for the long side:
59.95: Close target, aligning with yesterday’s VWAP and the Value Area High (VAH) from Nov 7.
60.10: Near yesterday’s Point of Control (POC), a typical magnet for price action.
60.22: Important liquidity pool, potential for short-term resistance.
60.31: Key extension level, marking further acceptance higher.
60.47: Final intraday target before potential exhaustion.
For swing traders, clearing 60.20–60.50 could mark the activation of a bull flag breakout, suggesting the possibility of a more significant upside beyond today’s tradeCompass framework.
Bearish Scenario (below 59.50):
Price dropping under 59.50 shifts the bias bearish.
Partial profit targets for the short side:
59.28
58.98
58.79
58.54
All of these levels align with key zones from recent volume profile structures and historical acceptance areas within the tradeCompass methodology.
Educational Corner for Traders
The Volume Profile is a central part of tradeCompass analysis. It highlights where most trading activity occurred—offering clues about market acceptance.
The Value Area High (VAH) and Low (VAL) outline the range where roughly 70% of trading volume took place.
The Point of Control (POC) marks the single price level with the most traded volume, often acting as a strong price magnet intraday.
When combined with VWAP and liquidity zones, this helps identify where institutional participation is likely concentrated—key for timing entries and exits.
Trade Management Reminders
After TP1 is reached, move your stop to entry (breakeven) and cancel any unfilled orders.
One trade per direction per tradeCompass framework.
Allow flexibility for confirmation; avoid pre-emptive entries before sustained price behavior validates direction.
