Brent Oil Getting Into A Squeeze
Looking at the technical picture of 
BRTUSD on our daily chart, we can see that the commodity is currently trading in a small range, roughly between the 81.83 and 83.98 levels. At the same, on the bigger picture, the price remains between two trendlines: a short-term upside support line taken from the lowest point of December 2023 and a downside resistance line drawn from the highest point of September 2023. This means that the pair is slowly getting into a squeeze. Although we might see some strong movement in-between the two trendlines, we would prefer to wait for a breakout first, before examining the next short-term directional move.
A push through the upper side of the aforementioned range and a break of the previously discussed downside line would also placeBRTUSD above the 83.98 barrier, possibly attracting more buying interest. A forthcoming higher high would be confirmed, potentially clearing the way towards the 87.87 zone, marked by the highest point of November 2023. If the buying doesn't stop there, the next aim could be at 89.58, which is the inside swing low of 19th of October 2023.
Alternatively, a price-drop below the lower side of the range and a break below the short-term upside line may set the stage for a move to lower areas.BRTUSD could then fall to the 79.44 territory, a break of which might open the door for a move to the 76.64 level. That level marks the lowest point of February.
