Analyzing the UK Oil trends on a daily timeframe, the trendline supporting the lows from June 18 to July 16 has been breached, indicating a likely head and shoulders reversal pattern. This pattern targets a potential decline towards the support levels of 82.30 and 80. Further drops may find support near the 77.70 area.

From a Relative Strength Index (RSI) perspective, the break below the neutral 50 level supports the anticipated decline in oil prices for the week.

On the upside, a close above the 87.80 high could encounter resistance around the 90 level.
