The price of crude oil in the United States is showing signs of a possible 4-hour reversal pattern!

In case you missed it, traders have been positioning themselves for this week's possible market movers by selling crude oil since the beginning of the week.

Concerns about increased energy costs from the region have also subsided in light of possible ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas. That, together with the unexpectedly low U.S. GDP from last week, has the markets worried about supply and decreasing about demand.

The psychological $84.00 level, which is not too distant from the $84.75 support zone in April and the 100 SMA area on the 4-hour chart, is where U.S. crude oil (WTI) prices recently turned lower.

We're watching for a possible decline to the $81.00 handle, which would place WTI below the 200 and 100 SMAs and precisely at the potential "neckline" of a Head and Shoulders pattern on the graph.

Extended declines in crude oil prices put WTI at risk of a longer-term slump as well as a possible bearish breakthrough below the reversal pattern.

However, before deciding on its next course, the Black Crack may move between the $85.00 historical highs and the "neckline" support if oil bulls enter the market near the $82.00 or $81.00 regions of interest.

GBP/USD Technical Analysis

Since early March, Cable (GBP/USD) has been making lower highs and lower lows in response to a rejection from the 1.2900 region. However, the USD has lost ground to "riskier" bets like GBP due to the US economy's weaker-than-expected growth statistics and the Fed's renewed interest rate decrease rumours.

Gold is currently retracing to a previous support zone that may hold as resistance following an earlier selloff. Ultimately, sticky pricing pressures have been reflected in inflation-related measures, and the most recent quarterly GDP price index was no different.
