Goldman Sachs is analyzing the direction of oil prices following the recent U.S.-Iran interim deal.
Daan Struyven, co-head of Global Commodities Research and head of Oil Research at the firm, is providing his outlook for Brent crude. The deal includes provisions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz.
GS remains well above its SMA-20 ($1,035.85), SMA-50 ($969.99), and SMA-200 ($874.80), signaling strong upward momentum in the short, medium, and long term. The Ichimoku Kijun (D1) at $1,021.40 sits below the current price, serving as immediate support.
Momentum readings on D1 are bullish with MACD and ADX in clear buy territory, while RSI stands at 66, but the BBP (70.08) and CCI (151.96) both flag overbought conditions. Stoch RSI is neutral, and while AO is supportive of the bullish view, these overbought signals suggest the rally may be stretched. Over the past week, GS is trading at $1,097.19, up from $1,061.72 a week ago—a 3.34% gain. The current price is in the upper part of the weekly range, and weekly volatility stands at 6.75%, pointing to a robust advance with consolidation near the highs.
For the upcoming week, the expected range is $1,075–$1,130, which remains close to the yearly high of $1,121.74 and well above the 52-week low of $630.01. The technical setup, supported by bullish readings from RSI (W1), ADX (W1), MACD (W1), and the upward-sloping MA-50 (W1), gives a very high probability (more than 80%) of further upside, with downside risk less likely. The baseline scenario sees GS consolidating within this upper range. A bullish breakout above resistance around $1,120 could trigger further gains, while a drop below the $1,035–$1,021 support zone could invite short-term profit-taking but would not immediately threaten the broader uptrend.
Earlier, analysts noted that Goldman Sachs Asset Management expected heightened volatility in the front end of the Treasury curve following a more hawkish stance from the new Fed chair. In light of recent developments, investors should focus on how evolving Fed communication continues to influence short-term Treasury yields, with fluctuations in this segment likely to be the prevailing scenario in the near term.
