🛢️ WTI crude bounced +1.15% to $78.18. But let's be real — oil is down 28% from its 3-month high of $108.66. This bounce is a whisper in a downtrend.
📊 Technical Snapshot:
• Price: $78.18 (+1.15%)
• RSI: 46.7 — neutral, no momentum
• MACD: negative and below signal line
• Price below SMA10 ($80.14) and SMA20 ($81.82) — still bearish structure
• Volume: normal (1.1x) — no conviction behind this bounce
🧠 Why Oil Remains Tricky:
• Global demand concerns haven't gone away
• OPEC+ production policy is unpredictable
• Today's bounce is technically just a pullback within the downtrend
• $78 is NOT a reversal level — it's a rest stop on the way down
📍 Key Levels:
→ Support: $70.44 (critical — if this breaks, $68.55 is next)
→ Resistance: $80.47 (SMA50) → $81.82 (SMA20)
🎯 Bottom line: I'd need to see oil close above $80 with volume to even consider a bullish bias. Until then, this is a sell-the-rally market.
