WTI oil - Change in a rhetoric of the OPEC

In our last idea on oil, we outlined a scenario for a downtrend correction if the breakout above the sloping resistance took place. A few days later, the breakout occurred, and technical indicators turned bullish. Additionally, a slight change in the rhetoric of OPEC came, with Saudi Arabia and other members hinting at looming production cuts. This development forces us to abandon our price targets because of OPEC's ability to maintain a floor or a lid on oil prices. We will update our thoughts as we get more information concerning the cartel's production. Until then, we abstain from setting price targets for USOIL.

A bearish position can be retaken if the breakout below the sloping support occurs. However, for now, we still abstain from setting a price target. We will update our thoughts on USOIL soon.
