The potential for an increase in oil prices looms as supply disruptions in Libya unfold. Additionally, heightened tensions in the Middle East, fueled by another attack on a container ship in the Red Sea and explosions in Iran, contribute to the uncertainty.

This indicates that on the shorter and broader scales, the sellers are dominating. Resistance...

The group's aggressive production cuts, aiming for $100 per barrel, face skepticism. Market bears challenge OPEC's strategy, selling consistently for three weeks. Questions persist about OPEC+ members responding with...
Oil is still accumulating buying momentum within this Wave 2 (Wave II) accumulation phase. We can expect price to carry on consolidating within a range for the next 2 weeks or so, which'll scare off the average, small retail trader. But if you hop onto the daily TF, you'll see overall the market is still bullish📈

I expect the $90-$91 range to send UKOIL back to $25 over the next 3 years or so. Based on what news? Who knows. We’ll see when it comes but the chart is always the first indicator :)
