Crude Cruise Towards our 3rd Tier Uptrend Line

Crude futures had no problem participating in yesterday’s strong rally in U. S. equities. Crude finally left the psychological $65/bbl level behind on climbing volume, stepping over our 2nd tier downtrend line in the process. The futures are presently walking along our 3rd tier uptrend line as they creep back into the June trading range while setting its sights on the psychological $70/bbl level. Crude futures may have a little more gas in the tank even though the S&P futures are waning after negative earnings from AMZN, AXP, and MSFT.
