These developments suggest a cautiously optimistic outlook for both oil and natural gas markets, with geopolitical tensions and economic indicators playing key roles in future price movements.
WTI Crude Oil (USOIL) is trading at $80.72, down 0.23% for the day. On the 4-hour chart, the price is supported by an upward trendline, holding just below the pivot point at $81.27.
This suggests a cautious bullish outlook. Immediate resistance is seen at $82.31, with further targets at $83.49 and $84.45. The 50-day EMA at $80.04 offers additional support, while the 200-day EMA at $81.27 is a critical resistance point.
A break above $81.27 could boost bullish momentum, but a failure to hold this level might lead to a decline toward $79.57 and $78.69.
Brent Oil (UKOIL) is currently trading at $80.72, down 0.23% on the day. On the 4-hour chart, the price is sitting just below the pivot point at $81.27, signalling a potential bearish trend if it fails to break higher. Immediate resistance lies at $82.31, with further levels at $83.49 and $84.45.
The 50-day EMA is at $80.04, offering some support, but the 200-day EMA at $81.27 is acting as a critical resistance level.
If Brent Oil breaks below the immediate support at $79.57, we could see further declines toward $78.69 and $77.62. However, a break above $81.27 could shift the momentum to the upside, boosting the chances of a bullish continuation.
