WTI Crude Oil chart
The daily bar chart pattern of WTI Crude Oil had formed a 'triple-bottom' reversal pattern at 47 last month. Reversal patterns had also formed on daily technical indicators.
That was a trigger for a sharp rally that took oil's price well above its three EMAs into bull territory. The 20 day EMA has crossed above the 50 day EMA, and all three EMAs are moving up - which is a bullish sign.
However, on Apr 12, oil's price rose above 53.50 but fell just short of its previous (Mar 7) top and the 54 level. It formed a 'reversal day' bar (higher high, lower close) that often marks an intermediate top.
Daily technical indicators are in bullish zones, but not showing any upward momentum. RSI has started correcting after facing resistance from the edge of its overbought zone. Slow stochastic is sliding down inside its overbought zone.
A fall below 52 can take oil's price down below its 20 day and 50 day EMAs to the next support level of 50.
US shale oil output is expected to post the biggest monthly increase in two years, raising concerns of undermining efforts to cut oversupply by OPEC countries.
