Brent, the global benchmark is trading at 87.7p, which is the highest level since October 2014. The West Texas Intermediate (WTI) price has also surged. In total, Brent has jumped by over 440% from the lowest level in 2020.
Therefore, analysts believe that company’s stock will keep rising, thanks to the rising revenue and income. The company is also set to lower the number of outstanding shares by spending about $5.5 billion it raised after selling its Permian Basin business to ConocoPhillips.
The weekly chart shows that the RDSB share price has been in a strong bullish trend in the past few months. The stock has managed to move above the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. A closer look shows that it is close to forming a golden cross where the 200-day and 50-day moving average are about to make a crossover.
Therefore, there is a likelihood that the Shell share price will likely keep rising as bulls target the next key resistance at 2,000p. This price is about 9% above the current level. On the flip side, a move below 1,730p will invalidate the bullish view.
