U.S. oil cart on Trading View used for analysis 

  • WTI extends declines for the 5th straight week, trades 2.11% lower on the day.
     
  • Price has fallen below $60 per barrel and the still-rising crude supply levels to prompt further weakness.
     
  • US Sanctions on Iran came into effect this week and crude prices largely ignored the news.
     
  • Potential for a glut of global oversupply as the US, Russia, and  Saudi Arable look to expand production keep pressure. 
     
  • Volatility rising on weekly charts, price has dipped below 110-EMA and eyes next major support at 61.8% Fib at 55.37.
     
  • On the flipside, 5-DMA is immediate resistance at 62.25. Break above could see minor upside.

Support levels - 59.48 (50% Fib), 58.11 (Feb 9th low), 57.15 (trendline), 55.37 (61.8Fib)

Resistance levels - 60.56 (110W EMA), 61.28 (5-DMA), 63.59 (38.2% Fib)
