Crude oil recent ascends meeting roadblock ahead

The recent breakout made by the crude oil may excite buying opportunities to some. For how long it will last will need to be seen if it could penetrate several layers of resistance ahead. This week price action was not powerful enough to sustain the move. Catalyst and sentiment that could influence the price action not supporting the move too, as energy giants such Exxon Mobile (XOM), Chevron (CVX), BP and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSA) giving cautious forecasts on the price projectile. Nearly all of the energy giants viewed the price of crude oil will only top $60.00 a barrel by 2026/27.
