Oil price is trading around $80-$81. According to the Ichimoku cloud indicator, trend is neutral as price is inside the Kumo (cloud). Price tried to break above the cloud but got rejected at the upper cloud boundary resistance at $81.92. The tenkan-sen (red line indicator) and the kijun-sen (yellow line indicator) provide support at $79.85 and at $77.55. Bulls do not want to see price break below the Kumo and below the kijun-sen. This would change trend to bearish. Recent bounce towards $82 confirmed the importance of the resistance there. Bulls need to recapture $82 in order to hope for a move higher towards $90-$95. The Chikou span (black line indicator) is above the candlestick pattern. This is a positive sign, but the most important is for price to push above the Kumo (cloud) resistance.
