WTI Price Analysis: Oil awaits range breakout

  • WTI created a Doji candle on Wednesday, neutralizing the immediate bullish outlook. 
  • Oil currently trades within Wednesday’s trading range. 
  • Acceptance under the Doji candle’s low would confirm a bearish reversal.

West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude is currently trading at $33.73 per barrel, representing a 0.6% decline on the day. 

Despite the price drop, the immediate bias remains neutral. This is because, the black gold is stuck within the trading range of Wednesday’s Doji candle, a sign of indecision in the market place. 

The outlook would turn bearish if prices end Thursday’s below $37.21 – the low of Wednesday’s Doji. That would open the doors for a drop to the 100-day simple moving average (SMA) of $32.92. 

On the flip side, a close above $38.75 (Wednesday’s high) would mean a continuation of the rally from the June 15 low of $34.36. However, stronger evidence of bullish revival would be acceptance above $40.44 (June 8 high).
