WTI Crude: Sustained Recovery or Return to Bearish Control? 8/9/2025

US crude oil futures (WTI) rebounded from the pivotal support at 61.60, with stability above this level reinforcing the intraday bullish wave.

Technical Outlook – 4-hour timeframe:

Holding above 61.60 provided the foundation for a solid rebound, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) confirming renewed momentum after recovering from oversold conditions. This highlights the strength of the current upward move. However, the 50-period simple moving average (SMA) remains a strong resistance barrier. A confirmed break above 63.50 would be required to unlock further gains and pave the way toward the next resistance levels on the chart.

Conversely, a decisive move below 61.90 would restore bearish pressure and increase the likelihood of a retest of previous support zones.

Warning: Risks remain elevated amid ongoing trade and geopolitical tensions, and all scenarios should be considered.
