2/3 Long WTI Crude Oil Futures (NYMEX) (
$CL=F) — On Dec 31, if in the first 20 minutes after the 10:30 ET EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report release (by 10:50 ET) front-month CL=F falls at least 2% versus its 10:29 ET price, enter a long; use a stop 1% below entry…
The EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report often triggers abrupt moves in front-month crude as traders react to surprises in crude and product inventories, refinery runs, and implied demand. Around holiday-adjusted schedules, thinner liquidity can amplify that initial reaction. A conditional long after a sizable post-release selloff seeks to capture an intraday snapback once positioning stabilizes.
