Oil Hits 11 Month High, $50 up next?

  • Oil is advancing firmly on expectations that OPEC+ group could cap output at current levels until February amid concerns that covid could keep demand in H1 depressed.
  • Broader market trends such as a weaker US Dollar and investor positioning for a recovery in the oil markets are also helping to lift crude.
  • OPEC sees crude demand rising 5.9 million bpd to 95.9 million bpd this year, although demand risks are skewed to the downside in H1 2021.

Technicals

WTI trades at $49.50, a 2.7% gain. On the day. It trades over its 20, 50 and 100 sma on the 4 hour chart, and has broken out of the narrowing price range in place since 21 December.

The RSI is bullish and not yet in overbought territory suggesting that there could be more upside on the cards and a test of the key $50 level. 

After $50 resistance there is little in the way until $52.50 a level last seen 24th Feb.

Failure to break through $50 could see immediate support at $49.28 (Dec high) come into play prior to $48.65 descending trend line support and $47.80 to negate the current uptrend.
