Crude oil was trading around $87.42, consolidating above the 21-day simple moving average (SMA) and above the 3/8 Murray level, and around the 4/8 Murray level, so the instrument is likely to continue rising in the coming days until it reaches the 200-day exponential moving average (EMA) at $92.73.
Technically, crude oil could pull back toward $85.88, near the 21-day simple moving average (SMA); if this pullback occurs, it could be considered a buying opportunity, as the price is technically in a strong uptrend after consolidating for several days above $84.37.
If crude oil remains above $87.50—above the Murray 4/8 level—in the coming hours, the outlook will remain bullish, and we could buy with targets at the psychological level of $90, the Murray 5/8 level around $90.62, and, finally, we expect it to reach the 200-period exponential moving average (EMA) around $92.73.
If crude oil returns to the Murray 3/8 level at $84.37 In the coming days and the price consolidates above this zone, it will be considered a positive signal to resume buying.
If the price falls below $84, the outlook for crude oil could change, and we could expect it to reach the 2/8 Murray level around 81.25; it could eventually reach the psychological level of $80 and might even continue falling until it reaches the 1/8 Murray level around $78.
Given that the Eagle indicator is showing a positive signal, a pullback in crude oil could be viewed as a buying opportunity, provided the price remains within the small uptrend channel that is forming.
