Brent crude oil price digs into resistance zone
The Brent crude oil price's bounce off the September to March support zone at $68.45 to $68.21 amid fears of a growing US trade war has taken it within the $70.23 to $71.18 resistance zone. It consists of the October to December lows and 7 March high.
If overcome on a daily chart closing basis, the next higher resistance area at $73.55 to $73.98 may be eyed. It comprises the early to mid-February lows and the late February and early March highs.
A fall through last week's $68.22 low would put the December 2021 low at $65.68 on the map, though.
