Oil Finally Breaks the Range — Downside Momentum EmergingCrude Oil FuturesNYMEX:CL1!SirCharIesAfter weeks of sideways, messy price action where most traders got chopped up, CL has finally chosen a direction. During that entire range-bound phase, we stayed on the sidelines and focused on cleaner markets instead — waiting patiently for this exact moment of clarity. Now price has broken below the range lows with the 5/10/20 EMAs stacked cleanly beneath the 50 EMA, confirming downside momentum and the start of a new expansion phase. For the first time in weeks, structure is aligned and directional — no more fakeouts, no more noise. This is the kind of clean context where money is made, not lost. The plan now is simple: wait for a lower-high pullback into the EMA stack and look for continuation setups if structure holds. Questions for discussion: – Did you avoid trading this chop or get caught inside it? – Are you seeing similar clean shifts forming in other markets right now? – Do you prefer to sit out until context like this forms, or trade through the noise?
