AUGUST CRUDE OIL

August crude oil was slightly lower overnight as it consolidates some of last week’s rally but remains above March’s high crossing at 70.00. Stochastics and the RSI are bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If August extends last week’s rally, weekly resistance crossing at 71.41 is the next upside target later this month. Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 68.29 are needed to confirm that a double top with March’s high has been posted. Overnight action sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when day session trading begins later this morning.

AUGUST HEATING OIL

August heating oil was slightly lower overnight but remains above the 10-day moving average crossing at 203.43. Stochastics and the RSI are turning neutral to bullish signaling that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If August renews this month’s rally, weekly resistance crossing at 211.51 is the next upside target. Closes below the reaction low crossing at 198.08 are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted. Overnight action sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when day session trading begins later this morning.

AUGUST UNLEADED GAS

August unleaded gas was slightly higher overnight as it extends last Friday’s close above the 10-day moving average crossing at 222.07. Stochastics and the RSI are turning bullish hinting that sideways to higher prices are possible near-term. If August renews June’s rally, May’s high crossing at 227.77 is the next upside target. Closes below the reaction low crossing at 215.89 would confirm that a double top has been posted. Overnight action sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when day session trading begins later this morning.
