Crude Oil - bearish ranging; 21.64 is the key support level for the primary bearish trend to be continuing; 36.36 is the key resistance for the rally to the bullish reversal to be started (based on the article)

Brent Crude Oil Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "Oil has dropped to a twenty-one-year low today. Bears are out for blood. The WTI West Texas Crude Oil dropped over 18% today and reached a low of $14.45, a price level that has surprised traders. The steep fall in price is due to the lack of sufficient demand and lack of storage given that the production cut has failed to address the supply glut. There is a strong possibility that WTI Crude Oil prices will drop to $10. Yes, I mean $10! And, here is why."

Brent Crude Oil Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "During the 2015 oil supply glut, there was a heavy focus on the U.S. rig count. As shown in the chart below, the rig count fell to its lowest level in late June 2016. It took a long time for this rig count to reach this level in just under one year. The same rig count measure has started to fall from its peak level, but we are still nowhere close to reaching the same level that pushed oil prices high in 2016. To put things in perspective, the U.S. total rig count is down (from its December 2018 peak) 51%, but it is still up over 25% from its recent low. What’s interesting about the rig count is that it does not work like a light switch, meaning it doesn’t instantly change. It takes time for rigs to go offline due to the complexities of the business, such as terms of contracts and rigs’ operation levels."

  • "The bottom line is that there is no doubt that oil prices are way oversold at the current level, but given the circumstances, it is likely that the price may continue to fall further because the rig count hasn’t touched its bottom yet. But, for an investor with a long-term plan, a time frame of twelve to twenty-four months, the current plunge in oil price represents an opportunity."

WTI went to negative price to some moment only ... everything is around zero now.
Yes, it should be nice to see negative prices :)
But this is not an ordinary case...

No. It's currently @ -30, and the MT5 platform has been frozen on the contract since it went negative -- well over an hour ago. Still negative. Still frozen.

Not sure it is an MT5 issue :

The settings said it's not allowed to go negatives, and as far as I know the broker is configuring the settings. However I never seen MT5 with negative prices so it could also be an MT5 issue.

WTI Crude Oil - bearish ranging within negative support value and 17/19 resistance values; 33.29 is the keys for the daily bullish reversal to be started (based on the article)

WTI Crude Oil daily Ichimoku chart by Metatrader 5

  • "The boom-to-bust oil market is experiencing one of its darkest moments in history. Oil demand is collapsing because of the coronavirus crisis. Supply is shrinking -- but not nearly fast enough. The world is literally running out of room to store unneeded barrels of oil piling up during the coronavirus pandemic. That storage problem is so dire that it caused oil prices to turn negative this week for the first time ever. The crash is forcing a reckoning in the oil industry -- a painful one. Many shale oil producers have canceled drilling plans. Others have been forced to shut down active wells. Some frackers won't survive at all."
  • "OPEC, Russia and a group of other oil-producing countries have already agreed to slash production by a record-setting 10 million barrels beginning in May. Market forces are causing non-OPEC producers, led by the United States, to similarly cut output. The shocking collapse in US oil to $-40 added an exclamation point to the problem facing the industry. Oil futures require that holders of a contract take delivery of barrels when the contract expires. But no one wanted to get crude delivered to them in May when storage capacity may run out. Even if it doesn't run out, storage costs have skyrocketed. "Holders of May contracts were effectively willing to pay someone to get them out of their long positions...to avoid being physically delivered crude oil next month," Goldman Sachs analyst Damien Courvalin wrote in a note to clients Monday."
