EIA Report Update
The latest Energy Information Administration (EIA) data showed an inventory build of 5.9 million barrels for the previous week followed by a build of 4.6 million barrels. It's a slightly bearish news, however, the impact remains bullish.
Technicals Outlook
On the 4-hour chart, Oil is holding below a solid resistance level of 49.35 and has formed a bearish engulfing candle which is the first selling signal for us. The 50- periods EMA is near $48.35, suggesting a bullish trend in Oil. The prices are far away from their average prices, and it should pull back to the $48 zone before taking further buy.
Crude Oil – Double Top Pattern

Crude Oil Trading Plan
