Since early Monday, the price of crude oil (#CL- WTI) began a strong technical correction, consolidating above the SMA of 21. Now it has reached the resistance of 71.88 where 3/8 Murray is located.

Oil has regained momentum due to the data and some evidence that the new COVID variant Omicron is not so serious, but there is still uncertainty. Crude's ongoing technical rebound has not been sufficient for the price to reach the resistance level of 75.00, which would be positive for WTI.

In the 4-hour chart, we can see that the price has left a GAP. Crude is likely to make a correction towards the 21-moving average around 68.13. If it manages to bounce around this zone, it could resume its bullish path towards the 200 EMA at 75.20.

On the other hand, if it manages to consolidate below 68.00, it is likely to cover the GAP and the price may fall again to the level of 65.62. As long as it remains above Murray's 2/8, there is a possibility that crude will continue to rise to the 75.00 level for the next few days.

Our trading plan for the next few hours is to sell below 71.88. If the pirce remains below this level, there is a possibility of a correction towards the 21-average. With a technical bounce at the 21 SMA, we can buy again with targets at 71.88 and up to 75.00.

The eagle indicator is oscillating above an uptrend channel. A correction is expected in the coming hours, so that the bullish bias towards the 75.20 level continues.
