Stronger Dollar, Demand Concerns Keep The Advantage to the Crude Oil Bears
Crude oil closed lower on Thursday as it extends last week's decline. The low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Friday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bearish signal that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.
If March extends last week's decline, the 75% retracement level of the December-January rally crossing at 75.46 is the next downside target. Closes above the 10 day moving average crossing at 80.21 would confirm that a short term low has been posted.
First resistance is the 20 day moving average crossing at 80.02
Second resistance is the 10 day moving average crossing at 80.21
First support is today's low crossing at 75.66
Second support is the 75% retracement level of the December-January rally crossing at 75.46
