Crude Oil Technical Analysis

J15 remains capped by 21 & 55-DMAs with layers of resistance noted in the $51.12-56.05 region. Bulls continue to look for a close above $52.72 to confirm breaks of 21 & 55-DMAs although a close above $56.05 remains needed to hint at a substantial rally and shift focus to the $59.74-62.39 region. While the 55-DMA caps a bearish bias dominates with focus on the 2015 low. A close below $47.47 would add significant weight to the bearish case.
