OIL (D1 interval)
Oil market has been trading in an upward move since the beginning of November 2020. However, price started to move lower after painting a fresh post-pandemic high in March 2021. Looking at Brent (OIL) at the daily interval, we can see that the price broke below the upward channel and reached the key support. Green area on the chart below is marked with previous price reactions as well as the lower limit of the Overbalance structure (the biggest correction during the whole upward move started in April 2020). Should buyers manage to halt declines there, another upward swing impulse may be about to start. On the other hand, breaking below it may trigger a bigger downward move.
