Technical analysis update: WTI oil (28th October 2021)

On 25th October 2021 USOIL reached our price target of 85 USD per barrel. After that we announced that we would not be surprised to see shortlived correction since USOIL reached overbought condition in the short-term. Now it is clear that price retraced from high of 85.39 USD to as low as 80.62 USD today. It is likely that correction will continue little longer since indicators point to more downside. In short-term we are bearish and we will observe whether support at 80 USD will manage to stop selling pressure. However, in long-term we remain bullish and we think that current price drop presents good opportunity for long position (re)entry. Our long-term price target remains 90 USD.

Technical analysis

RSI penetrated 70 points to downside. It is bearish. MACD and Stochastic also turned bearish. DM+ and DM- are due to perform bearish crossover. ADX started to decrease from recent peak. Price retraced towards 20-day SMA. We will observe whether price manages to hold above 20-day SMA which would be bullish sign. Overall technical analysis is very bearish for WTI oil.
