  • US Oil is extending range trade at 50-DMA resistance at 69.22, break above will see further upside.
     
  • Momentum studies are bullish. Stochs and RSI are sharply higher.
     
  • Price action has bounced off 200-DMA and upside has paused at 50-DMA.
     
  • Markets now await the American Petroleum Institute (API) weekly fuel stocks dats for further impetus.
     
  • Breakout at 50-DMA will take the price to 70.40 levels ahead of 71.63.
