On the Charts
- As we can observe on the Crude Oil Chart the price is now at 25.20
- The price is above the 20 days Moving Average (Orange)
- A positive divergence has been observed on the RSI, but extra caution must be taken as we are in a downtrend
- Positive Divergence occurs when in downtrend the Indicator is making higher highs and higher lows, whilst the price of the Instrument is making lower highs and lower lows
- Therefore, there is a possibility to see the price moving higher again to $29.28. However, a breakout of that level could lead the price to $36.35, a price which consists a previous resistance level, and the 38.2% Fibonacci Retracement Level (From 65.65 to 19.27)
- On the other hand, we may see the price testing the $19.27 price level again
