If anything, oil and especially <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3onhBEi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brent crude<\/a> has done what I expected. The technical analysis on the chart highlighting the break of market structure set us up for a decline down to the sell stops at $89 per barrel. Now that has been and gone, there is a possibility that the liquidity grab there was designed to get more buyers in to take us to new highs for the year. If however, the Iranian oil situation goes as the rhetoric would suggest, we could have more supply coming in just as demand looks to be dropping. $93-$94 then becomes important as we need to see either a very strong push through that zone up to and beyond $95, or as my predictive pattern suggests, we see a drop from there. A break below the neckline of $89 would confirm the head &amp; shoulders pattern and maybe we go sun $80 again. For that to happen and for further declines, we should then look to the COT report for the oil futures and see if the producers have started to increase their hedges and we haven\u2019t seen that yet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7727152 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"7727152\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0452cbc\" data-id=\"0452cbc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ce455b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ce455b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"601\" height=\"313\" src=\"https:\/\/youtrading.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/forex-13.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-22648\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-467667c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"467667c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-75cf7e9\" data-id=\"75cf7e9\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ea6017 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8ea6017\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p>The forex heatmap doesn\u2019t really help today unless you are shorting the EURUSD.
