Crude Oil Technical Analysis

After failing ahead of layers of resistance now noted $55.51-56.17 earlier in the week bears were unable to capitalize on the move with it again bouncing from a dip below the 21-DMA. Bears now need a close below $47.36 to confirm a break back below the 21-DMA and to shift immediate focus to the 2015 low. Thursday’s bounce provides bull with some breathing room but a close above $56.77 is needed to hint at a sustained rally.
