May crude oil closed lower due to profit taking on Thursday as it consolidates some of Wednesday’s rally. The mid-range close sets the stage for a steady opening on Monday. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term.

Closes below Monday’s low crossing at 79.41 would confirm that a short-term top has been posted. First resistance is the reaction high crossing at 83.47. Second resistance is January’s high crossing at 85.43. First support is the 20-day moving average crossing at 81.03. Second support is Monday’s low crossing at 80.89.
