Oil chart analysis

The first part of this week was very turbulent for the price of oil. We held above the $77.00 level on Monday and Tuesday, only to see bearish consolidation and a drop to the $74.00 support level on Wednesday. We managed to get support at that level and start a recovery to the $77.00 level. There, we encounter the EMA50 moving average, which for now represents additional resistance in the zone around the $77.00 level.

Thursday is the first day of Thanksgiving, and there is a decrease in market volatility, and the price of oil moves in the $75.00-$77.00 range. We spent most of this consolidation near the upper level, which could cause a breakout above and a continuation to the bullish side next week. Potential higher targets are $77.50 and $78.00 levels.

Natural gas chart analysis

On Wednesday, we saw a drop in the price of natural gas to the $2.82 level, where we formed a two-month price low. We managed to get support at that level and start a recovery to the $2.95 level. We encounter new resistance in that zone and start a new pullback to the $2.88 level. Now, we are again on the way to fall below $2.85 and visit the previous low. Potential lower targets are $2.80 and $2.75 levels.

We need positive consolidation and growth above the $3.00 level for a bullish option. Thus, we would jump above the EMA50 moving average, which could then provide us with support for the continued bullish side. Potential higher targets are $3.05 and $3.10 levels.
