FX:USOIL   CFDs on Crude Oil (WTI)

We’ve been seeing WTI crude oil prices showing up considerable intensity in buying interests especially after the formation of “dragonfly doji” on monthly charts.

We see bulls gaining momentum in rising channel pattern.

After the talks between Saudi Arabian and Venezuelan oil ministers on oil production freezing, the recent wildfire in Canada has also brought down supply glut pressures.

RSI and Stochastic converging rising prices with stern bullish pattern candles such as dragonfly doji is traced out at 33.75 on monthly plotting, this has been able to prop up prices effectively after breaking 33.23 support decisively (see grey shaded areas for price conformity when prices pushing up vigorously).

WTI crude oil prices were 48.71 yesterday which is 7-months highs, while buying momentum on daily charts has also been intensifying as it has broken crucial resistance levels at 43.17, 46.50 and now at 48.14 levels but currently approaching near channel resistance is a little cause of concern.

We could foresee bullish pressures upon substance above 48.14 levels.

Trading tips: WTI crude near month futures

We continue to recommend initiating longs in near month futures position on every dips which can enable you to lock in the price of this WTI crude above current levels of $47.77 a barrel for targets of $49 levels.

There is no maximum profit for the long futures position. The futures trader stands to profit as long as the underlying futures price goes up.
