WTI crude oil moved higher against the US dollar, clearing levels near $82 and $85 to enter a positive zone, according to technical analysis from Action Forex. On the 4-hour XTI/USD chart, the price settled above $85 and above the 100 and 200 simple moving averages. The analysis says that if bullish momentum holds, traders could target a move above $90, with resistance cited at $91.20 and then around $92.00.

The same outlook also lays out levels that could derail the advance. Support is flagged around $85.5 first, then near $84.8, alongside a bullish trend line with support at $84.8.

For further context, Action Forex also highlighted a separate gold setup, saying gold needs to settle above $4,150 to continue higher near term, while WTI faces additional downside risk if it loses the $80.9 area.
