Crude oil prices dropped sharply as supply concerns eased.It hit a low of $66.89 and currently trading around $68.18.
Oil prices have dropped sharply due to reduced tensions in the Middle East, especially after Israeli airstrikes on Iranian military sites that didn't hit oil infrastructure. On October 28, 2024, Brent crude fell to $71.93 per barrel, down from $76, while West Texas Intermediate (WTI) dropped to $67.38. This decline of about 6% was driven by fewer concerns over possible disruptions in oil supplies. Analysts believe the focus on military targets rather than energy facilities reassured markets. Overall, the situation suggests a potential easing of conflicts between Israel and Iran.
The US dollar index remains bullish, as does the US treasury yield, which is generally negative for commodities. Major resistance is at $68.65; breaching this level could push prices up to $70.50/$71.28/$72.50. A significant trend reversal would only occur if prices rise above $80.
Near-term support is around $68.65; if this level is broken, targets could drop to $68.45, $67, or $66. According to the 4-hour chart indicators, the ADX is bearish and the CCI is neutral at 50.
It may be wise to consider selling on rallies between $71.50 and $71.55, with a stop loss set at around $72.50 and a take-profit target of $67.
