Oil Price Plummets on Global Trade Concerns, USD gives Cushion
The oil price opened the week lower due to concerns about global trade being impacted by geopolitical tensions at the G7 summit. China's ban on US-manufactured microchips and the antagonism between the US and China caused worries about global growth. However, the oil price recovered after the US Dollar weakened on continued debt-ceiling uncertainty.
The technical analysis suggests that WTI Oil is in a long-term downtrend, favoring short positions. It is trading below major daily and weekly Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), except for the 200-week SMA. Despite the bearish trend, there are signs of potential bullish momentum.
The mild bullish convergence between price and the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates easing bearish pressure. Additionally, the long hammer Japanese candlestick pattern at the May lows suggests a possible strategic bottom. Breaking above the lower high of April 28 at $76.85 would bring the bear trend into doubt.
