WTI technical analysis: Bulls charge 1% to 63.50

 

  • WTI has rallied 1% at the open today on a series of provocative Iran headlines from the weekend and last week.
  • The price has taken out the 20 and 50 4HR MAs, the 17th May low at  62.51 and 26th April  lows at 62.26 respectively.  
  • WTI has hit the 63.50s on the opening spike,  supported from  the golden cross (50/200 DMA cross-over) where it coincides with the 23.6% Fibo, late Dec-late April range, and ascending channel support.
  • Daily MACD and Stochastics had  been turning more positive, and there is an upside bias on the medium term.
  • However, the 4HR time frame is a little more complex.  
  • Momentum indicators are only just being relieved from overbought readings.
  • The next  significant upside target comes in at 65.70 (fractal low) then 66.58 as the 2019 highs which meets a series of historical support and resistance levels.
  • A break there opens the 68 levels fractal targets guarding a break towards the 72.80-127.20% Fibo extensions around at 73.20 window.  
  • On the flip side,  62.09 14th May fractal high, or, the 62.18 9th May fractal highs could be a support level
  • A break below channel support and the golden cross opens risk all the way down to 57.80 and the 61.8% Fibo around 57.30. 54.50 and the 50% retracement of 2019 range come in next.
