Oil chart analysis

Today’s oil price extended its decline from yesterday below the $85.00 level. This morning’s low was at $84.00, after which oil prices found support and began to recover. It is now back above $85.00, and we need to hold there to continue the recovery. Then we need to reach the $88.00 level, and then we would get closer to the $90.00 previous resistance.

For a bearish option, we need a negative consolidation and a new test of this morning’s low. A price break below would direct us toward the next support zone. Potential lower targets are the $83.00 and $82.00 levels.

Natural gas chart analysis

During the Asian trading session, the gas price continued its retreat from yesterday’s high to the $6.15 level. The current price consolidation is around $5.80. Bearish pressure is still noticeable, which could further affect the price of gas. The next target supports the $5.60 level. Additional price support at that point is in the lower trend line.

A break below would mean we could see further declines in gas prices. Potential lower targets are the $5.40 previous low, then the $5.20 level. For a bullish option, we need a positive consolidation and a return above the $6.00 level. After that, we need to stay in that zone and, with a new bullish impulse, start the recovery. Potential higher targets are the $6.20 and $6.40 levels.
