Crude Oil opened the session today in the US right at the
highs of Friday’s range but then pushed lower the rest of the session, closing
below the key $100/barrel.
We pushed below the previous week’s close at 99.81 and we can
see the volume footprint confirms the sellers were indeed in control all

we opened the session for the day here in the US it ran out of momentum and
began to collapse off those highs.

Notice the previous week’s closing price down at 1300.4 will
act like a price-magnet and the previous week’s low down at 1272.0 will also be
weighing on the price if these buyers don’t pick up the pressure.

tells us to buy-the-lows at support and sell-the-highs at resistance until we
find a trend to follow.

News Today:
The markets got off to a rocky-start this week after a 4th
consecutive month of disappointing manufacturing news from China. This is quickly becoming a VERY big concern
for the global economy.

In addition to China, we heard about more violence in
Ukraine, which surprisingly didn’t impact Crude Oil Futures too much, which
suggests the majority of Crude Oil traders are concerned with China more than
the issue in Ukraine.
