Crude Oil Technical Analysis

Sideways trading has dominated for just over a week with bulls looking for a correction while the $53.94 low supports. O/S daily studies slowly correcting higher and the Bollinger band base having turned up are adding support to the case for a correction but a close above $59.27 remains key. Bulls need a close above $59.27 to confirm an easing of bearish pressure and to shift immediate focus to the $62.25-65.61 region.
