ONG: Crude Oil Daily Technical Outlook For Thursday Jan. 5th

Crude oil lost some upside momentum after breaching 103.37 resistance but retreat is so far shallow. Intraday bias remains on the upside and sustained break of 103.37 will confirm resumption of whole rise from 75.94 and should target 114.83 key resistance next. Meanwhile, break of 98.30 support is needed to signal topping. Otherwise, we'll stay cautiously bullish in crude oil even in case of deeper retreat.

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 completed 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 low below 74.95.
