100-SMA challenges Crude Oil buyers at three-week high
WTI crude oil has ended its four-day rise as prices fall from their highest level since July 19, due to a slow start on Tuesday morning in Asia. The oil price has moved back from the 100-day simple moving average (SMA). Still, closing above the 200-day SMA, positive MACD signals, and a strong RSI suggest buyers might push prices past the $80.15 mark. If they succeed, the next resistance levels are around $81.40 and $82.50, which will be key for sellers to defend.
If oil prices drop below the 200-day SMA support at $77.90, sellers might take control. If prices stay weak and fall below $77.90, they could move towards June and August lows of $72.40 and $71.70. If prices go below $71.70, they could reach the late 2023 low of $67.70.
Overall, buyers are likely to stay in control, but the potential for price increases seems limited.
