Oil chart analysis

The oil price is in a slight retreat from last week’s Friday high of $87.90. During the Asian trading session, the price retreated to support at the $87.00 level. For now, we have managed to stay at that level despite the current pressure. If the support does not hold, we will see a breakout below and the formation of this week’s new low. Potential lower targets are $86.50 and $86.00 levels.

We need positive consolidation and a return to the zone around the $88.00 level for a bullish option. A price break above would lead to the formation of a new high, and we could start a continuation of the bullish trend. Potential higher targets are $88.50 and $89.00 levels.
