The Relative Strength Index (RSI) likewise continues to lend support to the prevailing bullish momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the price has successfully pierced through a descending corrective trendline, delivering a constructive technical signal that bolsters the case for additional gains in the upcoming period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sustained stability of intraday trading above the $96.00 support floor preserves the bullish bias, with an initial target set at $98.50. A decisive break above this barrier would likely accelerate the uptrend toward $99.75 as the subsequent objective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the flip side, a return and consolidation below $95.40 could reignite selling pressure on the contract, paving the way for a potential pullback toward $93.45 as the first downside target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> Trading oil carries substantial risk and may not be suitable for all investors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"p-rc_7f9b1c85c391d3e7-102\"><strong>Risk Alert:<\/strong> Risk levels remain elevated amid persistent trade frictions and geopolitical tensions \u2014 all scenarios should be considered plausible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trading in CFDs involves high risk, and therefore all scenarios are subject to potential outcomes.
