Crude Oil Technical Analysis

The contract has again retreated from ahead of the 21-DMA with pressure having returned to the layers of support in the $87.78-88.18 region. While the 21-DMA caps bears favour a break lower that then sees focus shift to the 2013 low. Bulls continue to look for a close above the 21-DMA to ease bearish pressure and shift focus to the $93.86-95.67 region where 55 & 200-DMAs are located. O/S studies and Bollinger band bases remain key concerns for bears
