**#WTI Crude Oil Analysis: Bullish Momentum on the Rise**
WTI crude oil prices are climbing, hovering around **$76.00** during Monday’s Asian session. This surge is driven by escalating tensions in the **#MiddleEast**, fueling concerns over **#OilSupply** disruptions. As a result, oil prices are set to rise for the fourth straight day.
Adding to this momentum is positive **#EconomicData** from **#China** and the **#US**. China’s **#CPI** for July rose by 0.5% year-on-year, beating expectations. In the US, upcoming **#Inflation** reports could influence the **#Fed’s** policy, potentially boosting the dollar and impacting oil prices.
**#TechnicalAnalysis: Watch the Wedge**
On the technical side, oil prices are moving within a rising wedge pattern, forming higher lows and slightly higher highs. A breakout could signal where prices are headed next. A dip below **$74.88** might push prices down to **$72.50**, while an upward break could see them climb to **$80.00** and possibly **$82.50**.
Though the **100-day SMA** is still below the **200-day SMA**, the gap is closing, hinting at a **#BullishCrossover**. Crude is trading above both **#MovingAverages**, which could offer support around **$75.00**. However, with the **#StochasticOscillator** in overbought territory, buyer exhaustion could be on the horizon. The **#RSI** also seems to have peaked, suggesting a potential pullback.
**#TradingStrategy: Buy the Dips**
For now, buying on dips seems wise, as long as key support levels hold.
– **Direction:** Buy After
– **Entry:** 76.00
– **Target:** 82.00
– **Stop Loss:** 72.30
