Crude Oil Technical Analysis

The recent failures ahead of the key $55.05 resistance level resulted in a close below the channel base Friday with pressure on the key $49.82 support today. Bears need a close below $49.82 to confirm a break of the 21-DMA, hinting at a deeper correction whereas a close below $47.47 is needed to confirm. While $49.82 supports bulls favour a break higher that targets the $62.39-65.84 region where the 100-DMA is located.
