How to Determine the Next Likely Direction for Oil

How to Determine the Next Likely Direction for Oil
With all the turmoil in the markets, how to we get a clear sense of direction? Well, for oil at least, there are two key numbers to watch:
If we finish this week with a close above 110.51, and manage to find some support at that level, then that future direction may well be up, which will not help the U.S. financial markets very much. If such a scenario comes to pass, then the next likely resistance level is at 124.56
If instead trading takes us down below 99.16, then we may be headed to test support at 87.81 next. We may also range in the 99.16 - 110.51 area for another week or two.
