Crude Oil, Natural Gas Show Near Term Strength

Crude oil closed higher on Monday as it extends the rally off July's low. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Tuesday. Today's rally has turned stochastics and the RSI neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

If September extends today's rally, the reaction high crossing at 74.25 is the next upside target. Closes below last Wednesday's low crossing at 62.70 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.

First resistance is today's high crossing at 72.20
Second resistance is the reaction high crossing at 74.25

First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 67.30
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 64.84
