WTI Crude Oil: Double Engulf + H&S Breakdown Points to $40

307
Hello guys! Let's dive into WTI!

The weekly chart of WTI Crude Oil reveals a bearish Head & Shoulders pattern playing out over a long-term descending channel. Price recently got rejected from the upper trendline, showing weakness despite a short-term bounce.

- Engulfed 1 & 2:
Two major engulfing zones failed to hold as support, turning into strong resistance.

- Bearish Scenario in Play:
After the recent upside move into resistance, price is likely to follow one of two paths:

- Continuation Within the Channel:
Rejection from the upper bound of the descending channel leads to a stair-step decline toward the $47–52 zone.

- Final Rejection from Supply Zone ($83–89):
A larger corrective push could test this area before a full collapse toward the long-term demand zone.

  1. Main Target:
The blue shaded region ($36–47) stands out as a strong long-term demand zone, where buyers may finally step in.
____________________

Invalidation point:
Unless crude oil breaks above the $89 zone with strong volume, all signs point to further downside.
The chart structure favors a slow bleed with temporary bounces, ultimately targeting the $40s.
