WTI crude oil futures prices surged yesterday, marking the third consecutive week of gains and reaching our previously identified target of 82.90, ultimately peaking at $83.60 per barrel.
Technical Outlook:
The technical outlook remains strongly bullish. The 4-hour chart reveals continued support from the simple moving averages (SMAs) for the upward price movement, and a solid support base has formed around the 82.00 level.
Upward Potential:
A break above the 83.60 level would likely accelerate the upward trend, with the potential for the price to reach 84.25 as the next target, followed by 85.00.
Downside Risks:
Traders should remain cautious, however, as a failure to consolidate above 82.00 could trigger a temporary pullback to 80.70.
Key Levels:
- Support: 82.00, 80.70
- Resistance: 83.60, 84.25, 85.00
Important Note:
The release of high-impact U.S. economic data today, including job vacancies and labor turnover rate, along with a speech by the Federal Reserve Chairman, could induce significant price volatility. Traders should exercise caution and closely monitor the market’s reaction to these news releases.
