Oil & Gas

CRUDE_

lots of event risk here. the weekly crossed over the trend-line resistance

the daily crossover from bearish to bullish of the MACD produced a sharp move up to the 102 target.
the 103.67 pivot high was broken putting the next 109.49 target in play.

trade pressures are fully extended.
a retracement of this move up to 103.62 would still keep crude bullish.

below that the lower 93 target is likely.

trading in a range between the 2.98 low and the 4.46 pivot high.

the next target down is 3.41-3.46.

need a trade above the 3.81 long entry to begin a new move up.
