Oil Price Pulls Back to Keep RSI Out of Overbought Zone

The recent rally in oil appears to have stalled as it struggles to extend the bullish price series from earlier this week, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) pulling back ahead of overbought territory.

Lack of momentum to hold above the $67.60 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to $69.10 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) zone may push the price of oil toward $65.30 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement), with a breach of the monthly low ($63.36) bringing $61.50 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) on the radar.

At the same time, the price of oil may defend the advance from earlier this week should it hold above the $67.60 (61.8% Fibonacci retracement) to $69.10 (38.2% Fibonacci retracement) zone, with a move/close above the $73.90 (23.6% Fibonacci retracement) to $74.50 (50% Fibonacci retracement) region bringing the June high ($77.09) on the radar.
