Oil chart analysis

The oil price jumped above $78.00 yesterday, the highest in the previous 15 days. After that, we see a pullback to $78.00 and consolidation during the Asian trading session. In the European session, oil continued to move sideways. We need a positive consolidation and a new jump to the $78.50 level for a bullish option.

Then we need to keep it up in order to start further recovery. Potential higher targets are the $79.00 and $80.00 levels. We need a negative consolidation and a drop to the $77.50 level for a bearish option. With that, we would form the first lower low, and the bearish trend would probably continue. Potential lower targets are the $77.00 and $76.00 levels.

After that, we need to stay up there, and with the continuation of positive consolidation, we will move towards higher levels.
