WTI Crude Oil Price Technical Analysis

WTI Crude Oil prices started a decent increase above $63.50 against the US Dollar. The price settled above $65.00 to enter a positive zone.

Looking at the 4-hour chart of XTI/USD, the price cleared a key bearish trend line with resistance at $65.35. The price settled above $65.00, the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour), and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour).

On the upside, immediate resistance is near the $67.20 level. The first key hurdle for the bulls could be $68.00. A close above $68.00 might send Oil prices toward $68.80. Any more gains might call for a test of $70.00 in the near term.

On the downside, the first major support sits near the $65.50 zone. The next support could be $65.00, below which the price could dive and test the 100 simple moving average (red, 4-hour) at $63.95.

A daily close below $63.95 could open the doors for a larger decline. In the stated case, the bears might aim for a drop toward $62.00 and the 200 simple moving average (green, 4-hour).

Looking at Gold, the bulls remained in action, and the price started a fresh increase above the $5,120 resistance.
