We are taking partial profits here.
We will also be launching a public model portfolio soon so every trade can be tracked with full transparency. There will be two portfolios: one for larger, bigger-picture trades and one for intraday ideas.
Only trades that are written out on our private Patreon page or publicly here on X will be counted in the portfolios. No hindsight. No cherry-picking.
Winners and losers will both be visible, along with the analysis behind each trade.
Oil is the market we are watching most closely over the next several sessions.
Trump is warning that the war could continue to rage on, but price is beginning to tell a different story.
Despite the continued escalation rhetoric, oil is struggling to respond the way it should if the geopolitical risk premium were still expanding.
That divergence matters.
$87.50 is the key level.
I am not interested in chasing oil higher or scalping both directions. My only interest is the eventual selloff.
For the short to become actionable, I want a decisive break below $87.50, sellers pressing the move and price failing to reclaim the level. Ideally, that comes alongside a bearish inventory, supply, demand or geopolitical catalyst.
A headline is not enough if price refuses to break. A technical break without a shift in the underlying narrative also reduces conviction.
This is a patience trade, but if price and catalyst align, the next major move in oil could be substantially lower.
