Analysts point out that WTI crude oil prices, which had spent four months in a trading range between $44 and $54, have stayed above the $54 level since mid-April. Based on the typical rules of technical analysis, analysts now see the $54 level as strong support for oil prices.
“We believe there is some room for [WTI] to push higher toward the $64 level, but we would anticipate more difficult resistance there,” analysts explain.
