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 $76.48-79.85 region a bearish bias will dominate. Bulls need a close above the 21-DMA 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 shift immediate focus to the $82.71-85.13 region.
