Crude Inventories:
Energy supply numbers showed crude down 600,000, giving crude a bounce off it's lows.
Crude Oil Futures (CL) are backtesting the broken trendline and testing the 50-period MA on the hourly chart. Recently the 50-period MA crossed below the 200-period, which usually results in doward price movement. If prices hop back above the 200-period, then a large sideways base could be under construction, or prices could be building momentum for a breakout of it's large contracting triangle.
