- The oil market is likely buoyed by the bullish US oil inventory report: the Energy Information Administration (EIA) on Wednesday reported that oil stocks fell by 2.1 million barrels for the week ended Sept. 14.
- Notably, Brent’s hourly chart shows a descending triangle breakout – a bullish continuation pattern – which indicates a resumption of the rally from the Sept. 18 low of $77.49 and could yield a move to $80.00 (psychological hurdle).
- The stacking order of the 50-hour moving average (MA), above the 100-hour MA, above the 200-hour MA, indicates the path of least resistance is on the higher side.
