Oil WTI stabilizes at 80 USD per barrel

Oil prices are stabilizing after the big price jump last week in response to OPEC+ decided to further cut production. The volatility decreased significantly as demand uncertainty in China and US offsets OPEC+ production cut. Of course, we could notice a further inventory draw last week but perspective of future demand is cloudy as the chance for the next interest rate hike is increasing.

As we can see the price range from the Monday a week ago is less than 3 dollars. The most important support is at 79.00 USD per barrel that is also a higher limit of bullish gap. On the other hand the nearest resistance lies at 82 USD per barrel that is also a higher limit of consolidation that starter on 1^st December. In case of breaking the mentioned support, the price may decrease even to vicinity of 75 USD per barrel which is also a lower limit of the bullish gap.
