ONG: Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Tuesday Dec. 13th

Crude oil continues to stay in tight range above 97.36 temporary low and intraday bias remains neutral for the moment. As noted before, more consolidative trading would likely be seen below 103.37 high. Below 97.36 minor support will flip bias to the downside for 94.99 and possibly below. But in such case, downside is expected to be contained by 89.16/17 cluster support (50% retracement of 74.95 to 103.37) and bring rebound. On the upside, break of 103.37 will confirm resumption of recent rally and should target 114.83 resistance next.

In the bigger picture, fall from 114.83 has finished at 74.95 already. The structure suggests it's merely a correction or part of a consolidation pattern. Hence, rise from 33.2 is not finished yet. As long as 89.16/17 support holds, we'd favor a break of 114.83 resistance to resume the rally from 33.2. However, break of 89.16/17 will indicate that rebound from 74.95 has completed and whole fall from 114.83 is possibly resuming for another below 74.95.
