Crude Oil Trades Lower as Dollar Bears Fail to Defend $75
Crude oil closed lower due to profit taking on Thursday as it consolidated some of Wednesday's rally. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but remain neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term. The high range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Friday.
If December extends this month's rally, the 38% retracement level of the 2008-2009 decline crossing at 84.64 is the next upside target. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 73.59 would confirm that a short term top has been posted.
First resistance is Wednesday's high crossing at 82.00
Second resistance is the 38% retracement level at 84.64
First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 77.50
Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 73.59
