Crude Oil Bulls Take Clear Near Term Advantage


Crude oil closed up $1.13 at $84.89 a barrel today. Prices closed nearer the session high today and hit another fresh 11 week high. Prices also closed at a bullish weekly high close today. Crude oil bulls have the solid overall near term technical advantage and have regained solid upside momentum this week.

Natural gas closed up 22.1 cents at $4.09 today. Prices closed nearer the session high today after hitting a fresh contract low early on. Prices also scored a bullish "outside day" up on the daily bar chart and closed at a bullish weekly high close. Short covering in a bear market was featured. However, if prices on Monday can show good follow through buying, then a bullish "key reversal" up on the daily bar chart would be confirmed, which would then be one early technical clue that a maket bottom is in place.

The U.S. dollar index closed down 36 points at 80.93 today. Prices closed near the session low again today and closed at a bearish weekly low close. No serious chart damage has occurred but the bulls have faded this week on profit taking pressure. The bulls do still have the overall near term technical advantage.
