FxWirePro: US oil holds marginal gains ahead of API data, bias higher

U.S. oil chart - Trading View 

  • U.S. oil breaks above 110-EMA which was capping upside from many sessions.
     
  • Increased expectations of tightening oil markets added to the bullish tone.
     
  • OPEC’s de facto leader Saudi Arabia looks set to deepen the cartel’s supply cuts.
     
  • The pair trades marginally higher on the day at 57.04 at 1155 GMT.
     
  • Price action has bounced off 55-EMA with a 'hammer' formation. We see weakness only below 55-EMA.
     
  • Technical indicators have turned slightly bullish. Decisive break above 110-EMA has raised scope for further gains.
     
  • Next major resistance above 110-EMA lies at 50% Fib at 59.60. Focus now on API, EIA data for further impetus.
     
  • Retrace below 110-EMA will see test of 55-EMA. Break below 55-EMA can see dip till daily cloud.

Support levels - 56.53 (110-EMA), 55.53 (38.2% Fib), 54.85 (55-EMA)

Resistance levels - 57.85 (Mar 1 high), 59.61 (50% Fib), 61.97 (200-DMA)
