May crude oil closed slightly higher on Wednesday as it consolidated some of this week's decline. The high-range close sets the stage for a steady to higher opening when Thursday's night session begins. Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If May extends this year's decline, the October-1998 low on the monthly continuation chart crossing at $17.12 is the next downside target. Closes above the 20-day moving average crossing at $27.95 are needed to confirm that a short-term low has been posted. First resistance is the 10-day moving average crossing at $22.79. Second resistance is the 20-day moving average crossing at $27.95. First support is Monday's low crossing at $19.27. Second support is the October-1998 low on the monthly continuation chart crossing at $17.12.
