US crude oil futures (WTI) started the week with a bullish price gap, reaching a high of $61.88 per barrel.
Technical Outlook – 4-hour timeframe:
The price is attempting to consolidate above the $61.50 resistance level, supported by positive signals from the Relative Strength Index (RSI), despite entering overbought territory. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) continues to act as a resistance level that may limit further intraday gains.
Intraday trading stability above $61.40 — the previously breached resistance — could encourage the price to extend its upward movement toward $62.00, followed by $62.30 as the next targets.
Conversely, a clear break below the $60.95 support level may immediately halt further upward attempts, paving the way for a return of the downward corrective trend toward $60.10.
Warning: The risk level is high amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios are possible.
