As of Monday, the Brent crude oil is trading at a steady rate around USD 93.40 per barrel. Despite the market’s anticipation for higher levels, investors are exhibiting caution, allowing time for confidence in purchasing to be restored following a recent correction.

Analysts suggest that the current prices of commodities are aligning well with both technical and fundamental signals, implying that Brent may continue to hover around these levels in the upcoming days. Recent data released by Baker Hughes indicated a decline in activity, with the number of active oil rigs decreasing by eight units over the week, reducing the total count to 118.

Technical Analysis of Brent crude oil

Brent price analysis

The H4 chart reveals that Brent has completed a growth wave at USD 94.47 and undergone a correction to USD 91.31. The market is currently shaping a growth structure towards USD 94.00. A successful upward breakout of this level could pave the way for a further rise to USD 96.96, and potentially even reaching USD 104.00. The MACD indicator supports this scenario, as its signal line, now below the zero mark after exiting the histogram area, hints at possible continued growth upon breaking out of the zero level.

Brent price analysis

On the H1 chart, a consolidation range is observed around USD 92.80. The market is expected to experience a growth link to USD 94.14, which could subsequently be followed by a correction link back to USD 92.80, testing from above. The trajectory then suggests a rise towards USD 96.96. This outlook is technically confirmed by the Stochastic oscillator, as its signal line, having broken the 50 mark upwards, continues its upward trend towards 80.

In conclusion, while investors remain cautious, the technical analysis indicates potential growth for Brent oil prices. Market participants will closely monitor developments and adjust their strategies accordingly, as Brent continues its fluctuations in the coming days.
