The price of oil is currently hovering around the $82.00 mark, awaiting the positive momentum needed to push it higher. We are expecting this rise to continue in the coming period, with a target of reaching the $82.77 level as the next significant milestone.
However, this expected upward movement will be contingent on maintaining support above the $81.89 level. If the price breaks below $81.89 and holds there, it will likely negate the anticipated rise and instead support a decline, potentially leading the price to drop to the $81.34 level. Thus, the key levels to watch are $81.89 and $81.34, which will determine the direction of oil prices in the near term.
