Hey Trader,
Calling WTI's Session High LIVE Using Hawkeye Volume
Hello, fellow traders! Anthony Speciale here with Hawkeye Traders. I hope you're all having a wonderful day. Today, I want to share an exciting real-time market setup we identified this morning as it unfolded. This isn’t about hindsight or theoretical lessons—this is about actionable insights that happened live in the market.
The Setup: Crude Oil Highs
We’re focusing on Light Sweet Crude Oil, specifically analyzing a three-minute chart. Each candle represents three minutes of price action. This morning, we pinpointed a high in real-time, and I’m eager to show you how we did it.
Identifying the Trend
As many of you know from previous videos, I’m a fan of drawing simplistic trend lines to spot potential price movements. By getting three or four touches on a trend line, we can anticipate market behavior. This method played a crucial role in identifying today’s high.
Key Candle Insights
Pay close attention to the 8:42 AM candle, a doji-style candle indicating indecision. What made this candle significant was the strong increase in selling volume as we pushed higher. This candle signaled a potential resistance point, a warning to be cautious about further upward movement.
As time passed, the market showed a mix of buying and selling, but the 9:00 AM candle brought another spike in selling volume. This increased selling volume, combined with an unsuccessful attempt to push higher, indicated that the market might have reached its peak for the session.
I identified this setup live in front of traders with active accounts, emphasizing the high probability of a market sell-off from this high. Personally, I took this trade, knowing the risk involved. If the market had closed above the identified high, my analysis would have been incorrect, and I would have exited the trade. However, my prediction held true, leading to a significant downward movement.
Multiple Time Frame Confirmation
To enhance the reliability of my analysis, I use multiple time frames. While the three-minute chart showed high selling volume, the five-minute chart revealed an important detail: a volume climax. At the 9:00 AM candle, despite strong buying, the buyers were absorbed by even stronger selling pressure. This volume climax indicated the exhaustion of buyers, further confirming the potential for a downward reversal.
Trade Execution
Combining insights from the three-minute and five-minute charts, I decided to short the market. The three-minute chart showed high selling volume, while the five-minute chart indicated a buying climax. These combined signals suggested a strong probability of a market reversal.
The specific levels we targeted included:
84.16, 83.95, 83.65, 83.45, and 83.35: Key points indicating potential support.
My big picture target was 82.75, which the market slightly exceeded, reaching 82.72. While I was off by three ticks, the overall strategy proved highly effective.
The Importance of Volume and Price Action
Understanding the relationship between volume and price action is essential for successful trading. It allows you to anticipate market movements and make informed decisions. In this trade, identifying the selling volume and buying climax was key to predicting the market’s direction.
This real-time analysis and trade execution illustrate the power of understanding volume and price action. By using Hawkeye indicators—volume paint bars, wide bars, pivots, volume radar dots—you can gain the insights needed to make profitable trades.
