The price of crude oil futures are settling at $63.52 that’s up $0.81 or 1.29%. The high price for the day reached $63.67. The low price was at $62.52.
Looking at the hourly chart, the low price tested the falling 100 hour moving average, and found willing buyers. That gave the buyers the go-ahead to push to the upside. The earlier high for the day near $61.48. Getting and staying above the moving averages tilted the short-term bias to the upside. Traders looking for more upside could now use the moving averages as a risk defining level – especially since the 100 hour moving average did hold on the move lower today.
