🛢️ Crude oil at $82.40 — up 1.4% and quietly building a base. The energy trade is back on the radar after months of being ignored.
🔍 Technical Snapshot:
• Price: $82.40 (+1.42%)
• RSI: 52.1 — dead neutral, balanced market
• Trend: Uptrend, price holding above SMA5/10/50
• Volume: Normal (1.0x avg) — no urgency either way
• 20.2% above 3-month low, 24.2% below 3-month high
🧠 The Setup:
Oil has been range-bound between $75-85 for weeks. The MACD just turned positive (0.14), and price is consolidating near the top of the range. A breakout above $85 could trigger a run toward $96.
But geopolitics and OPEC+ decisions can change everything overnight. This is a technical trade, not a fundamental conviction play.
📍 Key Levels:
• Support: $70.44 (strong floor)
• Resistance: $85.00 (range top) → $96.02 (3-month high)
• Breakdown below $79 = range failure
⚡ Summer driving season is ending. Watch inventory data next week for the next catalyst.
Bullish on oil or expecting another range-bound month? 🛢️
