US Nears Deal for Long-Term Access to Venezuela's Oil Reserves

The headline is not a direct catalyst for GOOGL, but geopolitical uncertainties could dampen risk appetite. Technical indicators are weak: RSI at 39 is near oversold territory, MACD is negative and below the signal line, and the price is below both the SMA20 and SMA50. A 2.4% decline over the last 24 hours indicates negative short-term momentum. Therefore, in a 1-3 day perspective, the likelihood of continued downward movement is high, though approaching oversold conditions could trigger corrective buying.

The news that the US has gained access to Venezuela's oil reserves could create expectations of increased supply, but this is a long-term development and may pressure prices in the short term. Technical indicators point to a strong uptrend: RSI at 64 is in buying territory, MACD is above the signal line, and the price is above both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages. The 2.4% increase over the last 24 hours shows continued momentum. However, the supply increase effect from the news could limit the upside; therefore, I expect a slight upward movement in the short term, but one should not be overly optimistic.

The United States' nearing an agreement to access Venezuela's oil reserves could create short-term pressure on WTI due to expectations of increased supply. Technically, the RSI at 63.6 approaches overbought territory, while the price staying above the SMA20 and SMA50 supports an uptrend. However, the news flow could weaken current momentum and trigger profit-taking. The MACD is positive but close to the signal line, indicating limited upward momentum. Therefore, a slight correction is possible in the short term.

The news that the US is gaining access to Venezuelan oil reserves strengthens expectations of increased supply, which could put pressure on oil prices. XOM shares have already lost 4.4% in the last 24 hours, with RSI at 24.4, indicating oversold conditions. MACD is in negative territory and below the signal line, suggesting weak short-term momentum. The price is trading below both the SMA20 and SMA50, reflecting a negative technical outlook. However, given the oversold conditions, some corrective buying may emerge, so I maintain a moderate bearish stance.
