Crude Oil Technical Analysis

The bounce from recent 2014 and 5 + year lows stalled at the $59.27 level with bulls now needing a close above this level to confirm an easing of bearish pressure and to shift immediate focus to the $62.25-65.61 region where the 21-DMA is located. With pressure having returned to 2014 lows the risk of a correction is greatly reduced but bears need fresh 2014 lows to confirm focus on the $46.72-49.41 region where the channel base is located.
