October crude oil closed lower on Friday due to profit taking as it continues to set back from the 62% retracement level of this year's decline crossing at 98.22. The low range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Monday's night session begins. Stochastics and the RSI are overbought but are turning bearish hinting that a short term top might be in or is near. Closes below the 20 day moving average crossing at 93.47 would confirm that a short term top has been posted. If October extends the rally off June's low, the 75% retracement level of this year's decline crossing at 102.50 is the next upside target. First resistance is Thursday's high crossing at 98.29. Second resistance is the 75% retracement level of this year's decline crossing at 102.50. First support is the 10 day moving average crossing at 95.59. Second support is the 20 day moving average crossing at 93.47.
