Technical analysis update: WTI oil (8th February 2022)
Atualizado
Recently, WTI oil reached a new high of 93.14 USD per barrel. Simultaneously, all our price targets were reached. Because of that we decided to update our thoughts on USOIL today. We continue to maintain a bullish stance in the medium-term and long-term. However, in the short-term we foresee headwinds for oil due to many technical indicators pointing to an overbought condition. We expect the price of USOIL to drift lower towards Support 2 at 85.39 USD. Because of that we would like to set a short-term price target for USOIL to 87.50 USD per barrel.
Technical analysis - daily time frame
RSI is bearish as it performed crossover below 70 points. MACD is flattening which suggests that the bullish momentum is decreasing. Stochastic remains in the bullish area, however, it already points to the downside which is bearish. DM+ and DM- show bullish conditions in the market. However, ADX suggests that these conditions are near its peak. Additionally, the price deviated too far from its simple moving averages. Overall, the daily time frame suggests that the price of USOIL is ripe for correction.

RSI shows divergence with price. Additionally, it performed a crossover below 70 points, similarly like on the daily time frame. These developments are bearish. MACD and Stochastic remain bullish. DM+ and DM- are also bullish. Overall, the weekly time frame is mixed.
