March crude oil closed higher on Thursday and above the 62% retracement level of the January-February decline crossing at 78.75 as it extended the rally off this month's low. Today's rally was supported by reported outages at Buzzard oil field. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening on Friday. Stochastics and the RSI remain bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term.

Closes below the 10-day moving average crossing at 74.72 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is today's high crossing at 79.11. Second resistance is the 75% retracement level of the January-February decline crossing at 80.72. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 74.83. Second support is the 10-day moving average crossing at 74.72.
