If WTI oil manages to settle above the resistance at $75.50 – $76.00, it will head towards the next resistance level at $79.50 – $80.00.

Brent Oil

Brent oil  moved higher amid broad rebound in the oil markets. From a big picture point of view, oil markets remain volatile as traders try to guess whether China’s demand would be sufficient to support prices in the upcoming months.

Brent oil needs to settle above the $80.00 level to gain additional upside momentum and move towards the resistance at $81.50 – $82.00.
