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

August 4, 2025, 08:01
Oil prices drop further as Brent falls below $70 per barrel

Brent Technical Analysis

Oil started the month of August with a bearish crossover of moving averages MA(50) and MA(10) with moving averages MA(30) on the hourly chart. A lower high and lower low structure began forming, suggesting short-term bearish control. Price is hovering below the 30-period moving average, which has acted as dynamic resistance since the drop.

MACD shows potential early signs of a bullish divergence, especially if price forms a higher low.

The short-term outlook for Brent is bearish unless price jumps above $71.20–$71.50 zone.

Gold Technical Analysis

Gold started the month of August strong after falling to $3,268 by the end of July. The breakout above prior consolidation at $3,340 suggests a bullish continuation move.

Moving averages MA(5) and MA(10) are sloping upward and trading above MA(30), showing a bullish alignment. Additionally, price remains above all three moving averages on the hourly chart, signaling momentum strength.

MACD shows that bullish momentum is weakening, but no signs of strong reversal yet.

The overall view of gold prices is still bullish as long as prices remain above $3,325. However, breaking below this level could give a bearish signal to price.
