$80 Headwinds, Any Hope for Crude Oil?
Crude Oil (July)
Yesterday’s close: Settled 79.30, down 0.28
WTI Crude Oil futures started the week unenthusiastically with a failure at the psychological $80 mark that aligns with a key .382 retracement and fell short of pinging the 50-day moving average. OPEC+ instability was downplayed after the death of the Iranian President on Sunday, while prices have been in a downtrend since peaking on geopolitical tensions through mid-April, and seasonality concerns persist after the Memorial Day holiday. While we still see value against our critical area of support highlighted below, a continued test erodes confidence.
Bias: Neutral/Bullish
Resistance: 78.59-78.76**, 78.99*, 79.35-79.67**, 80.09-80.11***, 81.28***
Pivot: 78.25
Support: 77.65-77.86***, 77.26**, 75.70-76.36****
