Crude Oil Price Forecast – August 20, 2024
WTI crude oil has taken on a bearish outlook again. Important support at $72.6 was tested and held on a closing basis today, and this is a level from which a correction should occur. However, $74.8 is expected to hold. Ultimately, another test of $72.6 is expected, a close below which will call for a long-term bearish decision point at $71.2 to be challenged. A sustained close below $71.2 will open the way for targets in the mid-to-low $60s in the coming months.

Volatility for WTI crude oil has risen in recent weeks and the rally from major support around $71.5 suggests that a longer-term bullish outlook is being readopted. However, today’s pullback from resistance at $80.2 has put the odds in favor of testing key near-erm support at $76.9 within the next day or so. Settling below this would warn that the move up is failing again.
Gold Price Forecast – August 8, 2024
