LON: BP Analysis

BP Share Price Prediction

The biggest factor affecting LON: BP will be the oil prices in the coming days. If the oil gains strength above the $97-$99 level, then shares for the energy giant can rally toward new yearly highs in the coming weeks.

The BP share price forecast will turn bearish provided the price fails to break above the 550p key psychological level. In this case, a retest of the 528p level will be on the cards. However, the outlook will flip bullish if the price breaks above 550p and holds.
