Summary:

  • Oil prices increase as OPEC and Russia signal to a possible extension of the output cuts deal
  • WTI oil prices (OIL.WTI on xStation5) gather momentum as they broke through a neck line of an inverted head and shoulders pattern (SHS)
  • A key resistance area at a daily time frame should not halt bulls

Over the course of the latest hours the oil market has been continuing its bullish momentum being supported by fresh news pertaining to the upcoming OPEC meeting in a month as both Russia and the Cartel itself seem to be on board when it comes to a deal extension. On top of this, the Kurdish thread settled down as we wrote more about it on Friday. Now take a closer look at a technical analysis.
