Technical analysis update: WTI oil (3rd September 2021)
Our short term price target of 70 USD was reached yesterday. USOIL currently trades around 70.30 USD. We remain bullish on WTI oil. Our medium term price target is 77.50 USD and our long term price target is 80 USD. We would like to set new short term price target for USOIL to 72.50 USD.
Technical analysis
RSI and Stochastic are bullish. MACD has bullish direction and we will observe it closely in the following days. We will look for crossover above 0 points (to the bullish zone). We expect this phenomenon to further bolster bullish case for the WTI oil. Previous short term resistance (at 69.60 USD) now acts as short term support. Medium term resistance is at 74.21 USD. Major resistance sits at 76.95 USD and major support sits at 61.58 USD.
Depiction above is another interesting setup for USOIL when a line is drawn from the peak of 76.95 USD and extended through the peak of 74.21 USD.
