After our initial oil price target in 2018 was met recently, we published an oil price update where we mentioned that oil is not bearish, at least not from the long term perspective. Our outlook was based on the analysis of the price chart from 1982 till 2018.
This article provides our readers with another update but, this time, we will look at the price chart and its configuration for 2018. So if our recent oil price update provided oil price’s long term trend and the price levels crucial to maintain oil in the bullish zone, our chart today will zoom in to identify the price levels that could impact the performance of oil in 2018.
