Today Technical Analysis: Oil Prices Drop Further as Brent Falls Below $70 Per Barrel

August 5, 2025, 06:56

Gold Technical Analysis

Gold shows a strong rally on the hourly chart from $3,268 since last week. Yesterday’s trading saw consolidation just below the high, forming a potential bullish flag. All three moving averages MA(5), MA(10), and MA(30) are in bullish alignment.

Price is currently trading near the 30-period moving average, which acts as a dynamic support level. Failure to break below the moving average is considered bullish for prices.

Overall trend is still bullish. A break above $3,385 opens the door for more gains in the short term.

Following Friday’s sharp declines on USDJPY, the pair is still in a downtrend on the hourly chart. All three moving averages MA(5), MA(10), and MA(30) are pointing down.

MACD shows strong bearish momentum Current price around 147.15 suggests a minor pullback, possibly forming a bear flag.

The trend is still bearish unless price reclaims 148.00 resistance level. Price is currently facing the 30-period moving average which acts as a dynamic resistance.

Watch for consolidation or continuation below 146.60.

Brent Technical Analysis

Brent shows a clear trend reversal on the hourly chart, with lower highs and lower lows.

Moving averages MA(5) and MA(10) are sloping downwards, suggesting bearish short-term momentum. The 30-period MA acts as a dynamic resistance, and the price is currently below it.

A pullback toward 30-period moving average with failure to close above it could push price further down toward the support level $67.75
