• OPEC + is expected to consider keeping production unchanged in the face of demand-related threats
• The largest correction in the current upward trend took place in autumn 2020 (price fell 24%). A correction of this magnitude would push the price towards $ 64.75. The key support zone is located around  $62.00, where the last upward impulse started.
• An analysis of the behavior of crude oil prices during the 2nd wave of the coronavirus and the emergence of the Delta variant shows that on the 15th day since the publication of the first news, the price established local low - on the other hand, the current declines are much more stronger compared to the previous waves
