Crude Oil Trying To Prove Short Term Low is Here


Crude oil closed higher due to short covering on Wednesday as it consolidates some of this month's decline. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday.

Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but are neutral to bullish hinting that a short term low might be in or is near. Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 65.91 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.

If August extends the decline off June's high, the 62% retracement level of this spring's rally crossing at 54.97 is the next downside target.

First resistance is the 10 day moving average crossing at 62.09
Second resistance is the 20 day moving average crossing at 65.91

First support is Monday's low crossing at 58.32
Second support is the 62% retracement level crossing at 54.97

If August extends this summer's decline, weekly support crossing at 3.155 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 3.718 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted.
