With the fundamentals taking clues from technical support, oil prices are likely to remain on the front foot. The up-moves also gain the backing of RSI conditions that slopes upward from the oversold conditions.
Hence, a descending trend line from September 02 and 50-bar SMA, respectively around $38.15 and $39.25, are popping up on the buyers’ radar.
Should the commodity manages to cross $39.25, the $40.00 threshold and September 03 low near $40.45 will return to the charts.
Meanwhile, the black gold’s downside break of the $37.55, the previous resistance line from September 08, can recall $37.00 before challenging the monthly low near $36.40.
If at all the bears sneak in around $36.40, the mid-June bottom surrounding $34.60 will become their favorite.
