Anatomy of an Intraday Chart of CL (Revisited)

I wanted to follow up on the post from this morning regarding CL December futures 5 min intraday chart.  Below is an updated end-of-day chart:

Points 1-6 were discussed in the previous post.  However, on point 6, the support zone has moved since the chart was in an uptrend all afternoon.

7. 7a and 7b show the price touching the support area around 80.60 with the occurrence of a divergence on the MACD.  A bounce from here would give very good odds for a long entry, which is exactly what happened.

8. Minor resistance area was taken out around 81.30.

9. Major resistance area was taken out around 81.60 and price continued to 82.10.

Strange action so late on a Friday afternoon for CL, but it is what is. All we can do perform the analysis and make real time decisions on what we see.

We’ll see what Monday morning brings.

Good trading.
