CRUDE OIL Sideways

Crude oil bounce from 64.22 (05/06/2018 low) continues, approaching 66. Hourly support and resistance are given at 61.81 (06/04/2018 low) and 72.83 (22/05/2018 high). The technical structure suggests short-term increase.

In the long-term, crude oil has recovered after its sharp decline last year. However, we consider that further weakness is very likely. For the time being, the pair lies in an upside trend since June 2017. Support lies at 42.20 (16/11/2016) while resistance is located at 77.83 (20/11/2014). Crude oil is trading largely above its 200 DMA.
