Technical Analysis of Crude Oil

The $83.00 resistance zone for crude oil prices versus the US dollar was difficult to overcome. The price dropped below the $80.65 resistance and trended lower.

On the crude oil chart, if it descends below the 200-simple Moving Average, the price may trend lower towards the support zone before an upward reversal.

However, if the bulls get re-enforced, there could be a short-term gain toward the resistance zone of $83.5.
