WTI CRUDE OIL Chart
Oil prices rose on Monday but the gains were limited. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) and other producers, including Russia, agreed last year to cut output almost 1.8 million barrels per day during the first half of 2017. The West Texas Intermediate crude oil remained unchanged for more than 10 weeks and is developing within a sideways channel with upper band $54.70 and lower band $51.47.
On a long-term basis, WTI is developing within an ascending move since April 2016 and our expectation is a further upside movement, if the price surpasses the referred upper boundary. The price is trading above the three SMAs on the daily chart while over the last week surpassed the 50-SMA. Technical indicators are following a positive path, however, with no clear directional strength. The RSI indicator is sloping slightly higher and MACD oscillator is holding in a neutral area with weak momentum.
