The price of crude oil futures are settling at $72.70. That's up $2.32 or +3.30%.The price high reached $72.90, while the low extended to $69.28.
In an earlier post, the price rise today did take the price of crude oil above the 100-hour moving average at $72.38, but fell short of the 200-hour moving average is $73.36. Those two moving averages will be barometers for more bullish or more bearish.
A move back below the 100 hour moving average and 50% midpoint of the range since the December 13 low at $71.94 would tilt the bias more to the downside. Conversely, a move above the 200-hour moving average had $73.36, would increase the bullish bias.
