December mini Nymex crude oil futures a selling opportunity on more price weakness.

The crude oil bears have gained good downside near-term technical momentum, and would gain more by pushing prices below chart support at last week’s low of $84.94. That would also become a fresh selling opportunity in the “mini” crude oil futures contract. The downside price objective would be $80.00, or below.
