Crude Oil Technical Analysis

Last week’s failure ahead of the 55-DMA and falling daily trend line have resulted in pullback that sees the 21-DMA support on the first attempt. Bears will now look for a close below $47.36 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA, ending bullish hopes and seeing immediate focus shift to the 2015 low with the Bollinger band base just beneath. While the 21-DMA supports bulls favour a break higher with $55.51 resistance key.
