Crude Oil Technical Analysis

Despite the volatile trading it should be noted that lower daily highs are providing bears with some comfort as has the correction lower from ahead of the key $96.00-61 resistance region. The close below the 21-DMA Thursday adds weight to the bearish case with immediate focus having returned to the $92.02-50 region. Bulls need a close above $96.78 to confirm a break of the 200-DMA, falling daily trend line and an easing of bearish pressure.
