Oil Price Analysis: WTI sidelined near monthly tops

  • WTI is trading off fresh May’s highs.
  • Strong resistance is capping oil near the 34.25 level.
 

WTI four-hour chart

 
The WTI recovery from April’s lows is consolidating after printing fresh May’s highs. WTI is trading above the main SMAs on the four-hour capitalizing on the upward momentum in the medium-term. However, as oil stays in an overall bearish trend, it is unclear if the 34.25 resistance can be broken in a sustainable manner. On the flip side, sellers would need a daily close below the 32.00 support level in order to revisit the 30.00 level. 
 
 
 
Resistance: 34.25, 36.00
Support: 32.00, 30.00
