However, there is minor support before that at $70.20 and then $69.40. With the implications in the Red Sea, oil prices could rise a little higher over the next couple of weeks due to higher demand and fear of a longer-lasting conflict. The next point of resistance here for WTI is the level of $76.20. A break and close above it could then see an extension towards $79.66, which was last seen in November when equities rallied and the prices of oil fell due to signs of deflation.
