WTI CRUDE OIL Chart
The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is developing within an ascending move since April 2016 however, over the last seven weeks, is consolidating within a trading range with upper boundary the $55.25 resistance level and lower boundary the $51.47 support barrier.
Currently, the price is testing the 50-daily SMA while it is trading above it since the end of November. For the long-term traders, as it stands, if the bulls are strong enough to push the oil further up, we would expect an extension towards the $55.70 barrier, a level tested on January 3rd and is the 18-month high. A failure to retest the latter level should prompt a move lower towards the $51.47 support handle, where a battle is expected by both market forces. For the short-term traders, now, we expect a further upside movement until the $54.30 resistance level while the 50-weekly SMA crossed the 100-SMA to the upside which indicates a bullish signal. Additionally, on the daily chart, technical indicators are flattening near its mid-levels with some weak momentum.
