Crude Oil Price Reaches 2023 High

Crude Oil Price Reaches 2023 High

The year 2022 was not a good year for Oil investors as the downward slope that started in March 2022 continued to the end of the year. The highest price level of WTI crude oil in 2022 was at $130.75 per barrel. The last time price touched this price level was in July 2008, approximately 15years ago.

The downward slope continued in the first half of 2023. Price fell to $63.76, the lowest price since November 2021. The bulls in the second half of this year have managed to push price high from the support level of $63.75. A new 2023 high was reached last week as the WTI oil price hit $86.19, the highest price level in 10months. On the monthly chart, RSI has shown that price has been overbought but we foresee price still moving upwards. The current price of WTI crude oil is at $85.23. We see a rally to $87.65 in the coming days.

Crude Oil Markets CRASH HARD TODAY

When oil markets crashed to $26.05 in 2015, it was the first time in my career that I had ever seen crude oil that low. It didn’t take long for prices to rally and put in what looked like a bottom. But when price didn’t retake the $100-handle 2 years later, I drew the Fibonacci retracement levels to see that the rally was actually only a correction! So I drew the Fibonacci extension levels to see where price could actually target if prices continued lower. I NEVER THOUGHT it would reach that 123% level at $5.78. NEVER. EVER. Today, we are in Never Never Land everybody wow.

So can oil prices really go negative? Because at this rate, $0 is not looking like support. And the next target is -$28.41. What a time to be alive.

[UPDATE, 4:24PM PST] Crude oil prices went negative hitting a low of -$40.32 and closed the trading day at -$37.63. UNBELIEVABLE!
