Pay attention: crude oil just hit a major inflection point, here's what we see. Crude is reaching a very significant inflection point, and there are multiple opportunities nearby, both for LONGS and SHORTS. The macro higher time frame picture remains bullish. Longs are the preferred direction, but at key inflection points, it's worth watching both sides. Here's the short case. If crude struggles to break through 93 with multiple failed breakout attempts, a short toward 85 would be a great risk to reward trade. This is key: if price never attempts the breakout and instead retraces to 85, that's the chance to catch the prevailing trend, with eyes on the big 100 level where escalation risk grows.
