Pending Gulf Storm and Stronger Equities Sends Crude Oil Higher

Crude oil closed sharply higher on Thursday over concerns of the pending Gulf storm and spillover strength from the equity markets. Today's rally allowed September to breakout of its sideways trading pattern of the past week and the high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Friday. Stochastics and the RSI remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. If September extends the rally off this month's low, the reaction high crossing at 79.97 is the next upside target. Closes below last Tuesday's low crossing at 74.70 would temper the near term friendly outlook. First resistance is today's high crossing at 79.42. Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 79.97. First support is last Tuesday's low crossing at 74.40. Second support is the reaction low crossing at 71.47.
