Brent crude oil prices have rebounded from a recent decline, finding support at a key technical level. After briefly dipping below $76 per barrel, the oil price has recovered, driven primarily by escalating tensions in the Middle East.
The escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah has reignited concerns about regional stability and potential disruptions to oil supplies. The exchange of heavy rocket fire and Israel’s evacuation orders for parts of the Gaza Strip have contributed to a risk-on sentiment in the market, boosting demand for oil as a safe-haven asset.
From a technical perspective, Brent crude is currently trading within a downward channel, with resistance expected at the upper boundary and the psychologically significant $80 per barrel level. While the recent price increase is encouraging, bulls will need to overcome these resistance levels to sustain further upward momentum.
The outlook for Brent crude oil remains uncertain, contingent upon the evolution of geopolitical events in the Middle East. If tensions continue to escalate, the oil price could experience further upward pressure. However, if the situation de-escalates, a downward correction may be possible.
