- MNI technical analysis sees support for crude oil (WTI) at $54.55 - Hourly
support Nov 1 and resistance at $54.85 - High Oct 31. Pressure returning to the
$53.11 resistance last week provided bulls hope and resulted in a break and
aggressive rally that reconfirms the bullish bias with focus on $55.02-34 where
the daily bull channel top and Apr highs are noted. Layers of support are
following the contract higher. Bears now need a close below $53.93 to ease
bullish pressure and below $52.86 to shift initial focus back to the 21-DMA
($52.03).
