Oil four-hour chart

 
The oil market remains under selling pressure below its main SMAs as sellers are looking for an extension of the selloff below the 22/20 support zone wich would introduce scope to the 16 level on the way down. On the flip side, buyers would try to gather strength above the 24 resistance with potential targets to the 28 and 32 price levels on the way up.
