Crude Oil Pivot, Support and Resistance Numbers For Friday Morning


Crude oil was lower overnight as it consolidates some of the rebound off last Friday's low. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near term.

Multiple closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 74.92 are needed to confirm that a short term low has been posted. If March renews last week's decline, last September's low crossing at 67.46 is the next downside target.

Is Gold Poised to Go Higher or Lower?

Natural gas was lower overnight as it extends this month's choppy sideways trading pattern. Stochastics and the RSI are neutral signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near term.

If March extends Tuesday's decline, the reaction low crossing at 5.227 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20 day moving average crossing at 5.427 would temper the near term bearish outlook.
