Higher Prices For Crude Oil Possible Near Term


June crude oil was higher overnight as it extends this week's rally above March's high crossing at 56.10. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If June extends last week's rally, January's high crossing at 59.66 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 52.17 are needed to confirm that a short term top has been posted.

Friday's pivot point, our line in the sand is 56.84

First resistance is Thursday's high crossing at 58.57.
Second resistance is January's high crossing at 59.66.

First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 53.44.
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 52.17.
