The post WTI Price Forecast: Rejection at the 200-day SMA keeps bears in control appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude Oil edges lower on Thursday, erasing all of the previous day’s gains as traders reassess the supply risks stemming from renewed US-Iran tensions. At the time of writing, WTI is trading around $71.75, down 3.77% on the day. Crude Oil prices surged earlier this week after the United States and Iran exchanged military strikes, raising fears that shipping through the Strait of Hormuz could once again face disruptions. However, markets see the latest flare-up as unlikely to escalate into a full-blown war and expect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz to continue to recover. From a technical perspective, Thursday’s decline follows a rejection at the 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) near $73.35, which acts as immediate resistance. WTI also remains well below the 100-day SMA around $86.91, suggesting sellers retain the upper hand despite

Bitdeer climbed 14.1% to $14.33, fully recovering from a selloff earlier in the week. Despite Thursday’s rally, the stock remains roughly 27% below its June high but is up 26% year-to-date. The gains followed Bitdeer’s announcement that it will build a manufacturing facility in Sparks, Nevada, to assemble its SEALMINER line of Bitcoin mining machines.

AUD/USD trades higher near the 0.6940 area on Thursday, as the Australian Dollar (AUD) benefits from a softer US Dollar (USD), even after stronger-than-expected United States (US) jobless claims data showed that the labor market remains stable. US Initial Jobless Claims fell to 215K, below expectations of 218K and the previous 217K, suggesting that layoffs remain limited. However, the Greenback failed to gain strong traction as the broader US Dollar Index (DXY) slipped for a second straight session, while markets continued to assess geopolitical risks and the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) policy outlook. China also remains a key driver for the Aussie, given Australia’s strong trade exposure. China’s Producer Price Index (CPI) report, released late Wednesday, showed a 4.1% YoY rise in June, the fastest pace in four years, while China’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) slowed to 1% YoY, highlighting stronger f
