Oil Technical Analysis: Key trendline breached, immediate bull outlook neutralized

  • Brent oil has breached the trending sloping upwards from the Aug. 15 low and Sept. 7 low, neutralizing the immediate bullish outlook, the hourly chart indicates.
  • The hourly chart relative strength index (RSI) of 39.00 is biased toward the bears. Further, the 50-hour moving average (MA) is holding below the 100-hour MA, indicating the path of least resistance is to the downside.
  • Over on the daily chart, oil has also fallen back inside the flag pattern.
  • Brent could re-test support at $77.35 (Sept. 14 low). A close below that level would confirm a short-term bear reversal.
