Will Oil Prices Trend Higher?
As oil prices reclaimed the support/resistance area of 57.50, the bias is looking to the upside. The bearish flag pattern is starting to be invalidated on the evolving price action. The upside target is now back to the 60.00 handle that was previously tested. Oil prices will need to break past this level to continue maintaining the upside trend.
