Crude Oil Technical Analysis

Bulls have been unable to capitalize on the recent close above both 21 & 55-DMAs with bears taking comfort in the failure and pullback from ahead of the now key $52.72 resistance. Bulls need a close above $52.72 to provide some breathing space and shift immediate focus to the then key $55.05-56.05 region. The sell-off Friday sees focus having returned to the $47.47 support level with a close below initially target 2015 lows.
