Natural gas pulls back as traders take some profits off the table ahead of the weekend.
RSI remains in the moderate territory, so there is plenty of room to gain additional upside momentum in case the right catalysts emerge.
WTI Oil
WTI Oil 100524 Daily Chart
WTI oil pulls back after an unsuccessful attempt to settle above the $80.00 level. The disappointing Michigan Consumer Sentiment report and rising Treasury yields served as bearish catalysts for WTI oil.
From the technical point of view, WTI oil needs to settle above the resistance at $79.00 – $80.00 to have a chance to gain sustainable momentum.
Brent Oil
