Crude Oil closed lower on Friday due to profit taking but remains above the 10-day moving average crossing. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Monday.

Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing are needed to confirm that a short-term low has been posted. If it renews the decline off August's high, May's low crossing is the next downside target.
