Daily Technical Analysis: Oil Prices Plummet as OPEC+ Announces Increased Production

Monday May 5 2025 06:54

West Texas Intermediate shows a clear downtrend on the hourly chart as seen through the descending trendline connecting lower highs from 64.08. AS the market opened on a gap showing strong selling pressure on oil prices, we anticipate a correction to fill the gap fully or partially before continuing to trend downward.

Short term and mid-term moving averages MA (5, 10, 30) are aligned in a bearish structure with the slope and crossover.

The next major support is today’s low at around $55.53.

RSI recovered from the oversold zone and it’s currently hovering near 40 suggesting some room for further bullish correction before the downtrend continues.

As long as price stays below the descending trendline and moving average (30), the downtrend is expected to continue. A strong break and close above the trendline and the moving average (30) would signal a possible reversal to the upside.

On the other hand, a break below 1.3760 indicates a bearish move likely targeting 1.3700.
