Crude Oil Whip Saws Traders With Back To Back Pivotal Days, Short Term Top May Still Be In

April crude oil closed sharply higher on Thursday ending a two day correction off Monday's high.

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

Stochastics and the RSI are turning bearish hinting that a short term top might be in or is near.

Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at $42.46 would temper the near term friendly outlook in the market.

If April extends this month's rally, the reaction high crossing at $50.88 is the next upside target.

First resistance is Monday's high crossing at $48.83.

Second resistance is the reaction's high crossing at $50.88.

First support is the 20 day moving average crossing at $42.46.

Second support is the reaction low crossing at $39.44.
