FxWirePro: US Oil reverses previous session's slide, retakes $68 per barrel, focus on API data

  • US Oil reversed most of previous session's slide and extended gains above $68 mark.
     
  • Rising US-Iran geopolitical tensions keep oil prices supported.  Iranian Foreign Ministry said that Iran will respond with equal countermeasures if US attempts to block its oil exports.
     
  • Focus now on API inventories data. Expectations of a drawdown in the US crude adds to the renewed strength in oil.
     
  • WTI crude was trading at $68.35 at the time of writing, up 0.87% on the day.
     
  • Technical bias remains bearish and upside could provide shorting opportunities.
     
  • Price remains sandwiched between 50 and 100 day moving averages. Breakout will provide clear directional bias.

Resistance levels - 68.52 (5-DMA), 69.12 (50-DMA), 69.71 (21-EMA)
