Crude Oil closed higher on Wednesday above the 10-day moving average crossing. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Thursday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signalling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. Closes above the reaction high 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.
