Crude Oil Technical Analysis

Bulls took a little comfort in the bounce from fresh 2014 and 4 year lows and below the Bollinger band base Friday but while layers of resistance remain in the $77.44-79.85 region a bearish bias remains. Bulls need a close above $78.08 to confirm a break of the falling channel top and ease bearish pressure but overall a close above $79.85 is needed to end bearish hopes and target the $83.26-85.56 region
