Technical Analysis – WTI crude oil creates bearish wave
WTI crude oil tests 77.70 support
Price holds beneath SMAs
RSI and MACD indicate more losses
The technical oscillators are confirming the recent bearish movement in price. The RSI is heading south beneath the neutral threshold of 50, while the MACD is extending its bearish structure below its trigger and zero lines.
Alternatively, a climb above the 200- and 50-day SMAs could allow traders to reach the 80.50 resistance level before resting near the 20-day SMA at 81.64. Above them, the 84.70 resistance is waiting to act as a turning point again.
In summary, oil prices look bearish in the near term; however, the bigger picture is still bullish as long as they are standing above the uptrend line.Related Assets
