Oil moves near channel resistance

  • WTI prices move within an expanding channel.
  • With the RSI bullish on the chart, a breakout to the upside would point to the August highs.

West Texas Intermediate WTI crude, North America’s benchmark oil index, has moved within an expanding channel for the past two months.

Oil is currently trading negative around the $ 41.50 per barrel level. The current price is just below the resistance of the $ 42.10 channel.

A close above that level would confirm a bullish breakout, validating the reading above 50 points or bullish on the 14-day RSI and opening the doors to the August high of $ 43.78.

The bulls have failed multiple times in recent days to force the bullish close. Another rejection in this region could cause some buyers to exit the market, leading to a price pullback towards $ 40.06 (November 13 low).
