Crude Oil: A trend reversal?

Crude oil’s ascent appears to be getting stronger, as reflected in the steepening angle of the uptrend since June. This follows a break above quite a few times tested resistance on a horizontal trendline since the end of 2022. has triggered a breakout from a multi-month sideway zone.

Crude oil technical analysis

The bullish break has triggered a double bottom (the March and May lows), pointing to a potential rise toward 103. The potential for a significant low/capitulation was first pointed out in May. Crude oil’s subsequent break above-converged support on the 89-day moving average and the 200-day moving average.

Oil may resume broader uptrend

Last month’s crack above a horizontal trendline from January (that came at about 83.00) sealed the breakout from a multi-week range. Oil looks set to test another horizontal trendline from 2022 (at about 93.00), which would be a key confirmation of the resumption of the broader uptrend. Such a break would also coincide with the upper edge of the Ichimoku cloud on the weekly charts.

Natural gas: holding above support

The intraday trading ranges in natural gas have narrowed further in recent weeks. Despite the narrowing volatility, natural gas has held above the crucial horizontal trendline since July (at about 2.40-2.50). At the same time, natural gas hasn’t been able to build any meaningful upward momentum since after staging a lower top at the end of August.

Is the natural gas rebound over?

The failure to reach the early-August high raises the risk that the five-month-long rebound is over, provided the 2.40-2.50 support gives way. Any break below 2.40-2.50 could pave the way toward the Q1-2023 lows of around 1.95-2.00.

    • Solana’s (SOL) price has shown signs of stabilizing, sparking hopes for a bullish reversal. Currently trading near $230, the Solana price today is approaching a critical resistance level. Technical analysis reveals that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is neutral at 48.36, signaling that bears are not in full control. A decisive close above $231, which aligns with the midline of the Donchian Channel (DC), could trigger a resurgence in buying activity. If achieved, the next Sol crypto price target lies at $259, marking the upper band of the DC. However, failure to sustain above $230 could invalidate this bullish outlook. On the downside, strong support at $203 could act as a safety net for the price of Solana. Recent whale activity has bolstered optimism. Over the past three days, large investors have increased their SOL holdings by 186%, signaling growing confidence in a potential price rebound. Also Read: Filecoin Price Prediction 2024, 2025, 2030 On-chain data reflects increasing adoption, with Solana’s Total Value Locked (TVL) nearing $9 billion and unique wallets surpassing 5 million. Innovations like Token-2022 and Actions API continue to expand real-world use cases, pushing Solana closer to its All-Time High of $259. Experts remain bullish, with long-term Sol price predictions targeting $600 by 2025
