• WTI prints the biggest daily gains while piercing seven-month-old resistance line.
• Overbought RSI, September 2014 peak may test the bulls.
• 21-DMA, ascending trend line from December 2021 limits immediate downside.

WTI crude oil prices rise 2.67% on a day, despite recently easing from a multi-day high of $95.12, as Russia invades Ukraine during Thursday’s Asian session. That said, the black gold trades around $94.50 by the press time.

It’s worth noting that the commodity prices recently ticked beyond an upward sloping trend line from July 2021, around $94.40 at the latest, to renew the highest levels since September 2014. However, overbought RSI conditions may test the bulls, which in turn require a daily closing beyond $94.40 to reject the odds of a pullback.

Even if the WTI crude oil prices stay beyond $94.40, September 2014 high near $96.00 will act as an additional upside filter before directing the quote towards the $100.00 psychological magnet.

Meanwhile, a pullback move will need to conquer the $90.00 threshold, also near to the 21-DMA and a three-month-long rising trend line.

Following that, the monthly low of $87.30 and the October 2021 peak of around $85.00 will be in focus.

Overall, geopolitics favor the bulls but technical details need validation to confirm the commodity’s further upside.
