OIL: Sideways - Waiting for R2/S2 Breakouts

Oil has been in a clear sideways consolidation for several days, reflecting a period of indecision in the market. While this tight range holds, a patient approach to trading is warranted. A long position will be considered if a confirmed breakout and sustained price action above R2 occur, indicating strong bullish momentum. Conversely, if oil breaks down and holds below S2, a short position will be initiated, anticipating further bearish movement. This current consolidation phase suggests a significant directional move is likely imminent, and observation of these key resistance and support levels will be crucial for entry signals.
