Oil bounced 2% today to $78.77, but do not get excited yet. The trend is still down and the world economy is giving mixed signals.
📊 Technical Snapshot:
• Price: $78.77 (+1.91%)
• Trend: Downtrend — below SMA10 ($80.14) and SMA20 ($81.82)
• RSI: 46.6 (neutral territory)
• Volume: 246K contracts, normal (1.1x average)
• Key context: 27.5% below 3-month high, 15% above 3-month low
🎯 Why This Matters:
Oil is the macro barometer of the entire economy. A bounce today could be short-covering or the start of a reversal. The key test: can WTI reclaim $80 and hold above SMA10? If yes, we might see a push toward $85. If not, the $70 support zone is next. OPEC+ production decisions and China demand data are the wildcards here.
📌 Key Levels:
• Support: $70.44 | Resistance: $80.14, then $98.26
What is your oil thesis for H2 2026? Supply cuts driving prices up or demand weakness pulling them down? 🛢️
