Is Crude Oil Posting a Dead Cat Bounce?
The rebound off the recent lows in crude oil has helped to push price only slightly higher. Price is seen trading near the 53.44 level which previously saw some consolidation. As long as this level holds, oil prices could remain range bound with the bias to the downside.
