Crude Oil Closes Above 10 Day Moving Average


March crude oil closed sharply higher on Thursday and above the 10 day moving average crossing at $37.51 signaling that a short term low might be in place.

The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Friday.

Stochastics and the RSI are turning bullish hinting that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

Closes above the reaction high crossing at $42.68 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.

If March renews this month's decline, psychological support crossing at $30.00 is the next downside target.

First resistance is the 20 day moving average crossing at $39.93.

Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at $42.68.

First support is last Thursday's low crossing at $33.55.

Second support is psychological support crossing at $30.00.
