Crude Oil Technical Analysis

The $96.00-78 region remains key resistance with Wednesday’s aggressive bounce confirming its significance having failed just ahead. Bulls need a close above $96.78 to confirm a break of the 200-DMA, falling daily trend line and an easing of bearish pressure, and above the 100-DMA to shift overall focus back to 2014 highs. Bears now look for a close below the 21-DMA to reconfirm bearish pressure and retain initial focus on the Aug monthly low.
