Repairing the Damage. What's Next for Oil?
The chart above is continuous front-month Crude Oil futures. We are referencing the July contract below.
Crude Oil (July)
Yesterday’s close: Settled 77.74, up 2.21
WTI Crude Oil futures notched a fantastic start to the week, gaining 2.93%. It is no coincidence the gain comes on the heels of a strong U.S. Nonfarm Payrolls report on Friday. We have spoken about this often, strong economic data may encourage a risk-off tone by pushing out Fed rate cut projections, but ultimately has a positive impact on Crude Oil in the aftermath. Some of yesterday’s rise could also be credited to consolidation tailwinds ahead of this morning’s OPEC Monthly report that left projections little changed, and prices have initially reacted by coming off session highs. We look to the EIA’s Short-Term Energy Outlook at 11:00 am CT.
Technically, yesterday’s move to reclaim major three-star resistance at 76.15-76.63, the May lows, has neutralized the early June fallout. As today’s session unfolds into tomorrow’s weekly EIA data, it will be critical for price action to hold out above major three-star support at 76.15-76.25 in order to keep the bulls, in our opinion, with their reestablished edge.
Bias: Bullish/Neutral
Resistance: 77.51-77.80***, 78.29-78.16**, 79.32-80.09***
Pivot: 77.35
Support: 76.99*, 76.63**, 76.15-76.25***, 75.53-75.84**
