Wednesday: Crude oil focuses on 71.2/72.5 pressure

On Wednesday (January 3), crude oil prices were trading around $70.37 per barrel. As investors lowered their expectations for interest rate cuts, the dollar strengthened, putting oil under pressure. Oil prices fell on the first trading day of 2024, with international crude oil futures settlement prices falling by more than 1% as concerns that tensions in the Red Sea could disrupt supply eased. OPEC+ will hold an online meeting early next month to resume routine oil market monitoring. A person familiar with the matter said the meeting is planned for February 1. The trend of U.S. oil this week needs to be repaired and digested. The market needs to confirm the validity of last week's decline. It needs to confirm whether the 73 line can still stand firm. If it can stand firm, U.S. oil will still have expectations for a rebound in the future. If 73 cannot be recovered, then The short-term market may have variable risks. Even if it does not fall in the short-term, it will have a great impact on later emotions. Crude oil's daily closing line has a small negative line with a long upper shadow, which has fallen below important support. There is a high probability that the daily line will hit a new low. The 4-hour cycle is effective for testing the upper pressure area, and if it falls below the long-term moving average support, there is a high probability that it will continue to decline. It is recommended to pay attention to the pressure on the upper line of $71.20.

Strategy reference: now 69.9, it is recommended to sell at 71.5-71.2
