U.S. crude oil futures aligned with the expected upward movement in the previous session, as the price held above the pivotal $61.20 support level. Although the market briefly dipped to $60.11, triggering a pullback that offset earlier long positions, the broader technical structure remains constructive.
On the 4-hour chart, the price continues to test and attempt stabilization above the key $61.20 level, which remains a critical pivot for today’s trading. The 50-period simple moving average is reinforcing this support zone, helping to maintain bullish momentum. Additionally, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is trending positively, supporting the case for a further upside.
While technical indicators are increasingly favorable, we prefer a cautious approach—waiting for continued stability above $61.20 to confirm the upside scenario. If confirmed, this could lead to a retest of the $62.10 and $62.70 resistance levels, with potential for an extended move toward $64.00.
However, a failure to consolidate above $61.20 would weaken bullish momentum and expose crude oil to short-term downside pressure, with potential retracement toward lower support zones.
