#大户持仓动态 Crude oil prices during the Asian trading session are interesting. On Wednesday, US WTI crude oil fluctuated around $55.75, with variables from Latin American supply pushing prices higher.

From a daily chart perspective, things are a bit complicated. After four consecutive bearish candles, the price has broken below the medium-term strong support level of 56—indicating a less optimistic trend. The moving average system is in a bearish alignment, with the medium-term direction clearly downward. Once strong support is broken, it usually signals the start of a new downtrend.

However, the short-term (1-hour chart) reaction is different. The price has rebounded strongly, breaking above the moving averages, forming a repetitive pattern, currently in a consolidation phase. The MACD indicator has also crossed above the zero line, indicating increased bullish momentum. From a main trend perspective, crude oil alternates between primary and secondary trends, with a short-term bias to the upside. It is expected that today’s market will continue this rebound, but the potential space may be limited.

Trading idea: Go long at 56.20, set a stop loss at 55.50, and target 57.20. The risk and reward should be clearly balanced.

56 has broken but still want more? This rebound ceiling is obvious, it's enjoyable in the short term but don't be greedy.

56.20 going long? The daily chart has already broken, my friend. This rebound is just a short positions trap, right?

The daily break indeed feels a bit panic-inducing, but this rebound is too fierce. The short-term bulls are holding on tight.

Once 56 breaks, just go short directly; a rebound is just a trap.

Still hoping for a bullish reversal after breaking below 56? Be careful not to become the bagholder; these four daily candlestick bearish signals are a warning.

I think the 56.20 level looks a bit shaky; it feels like it could be knocked down easily.

It's the same old story of primary and secondary alternation. I believe the short-term rebound has limited space, but can this wave hold until 57.2? The real big move is on the Latin American supply side. Don't be fooled by the one-hour chart.

Once 56 breaks, it will directly go to zero. Why are you still hesitating about the rebound... Short-term rebounds are just traps, the daily chart looks like this.

Once the 56 level is broken, I still feel a bit uneasy. Short-term rebound can be played, but don't be too greedy; I feel there is still a risk of further decline afterward.

56.20 All-in is probably not worth it. This rebound clearly looks like the electricity bill gang's move to trap retail investors. Once it hits 57.20, it's time to sell. Don't be greedy.
