Oil Heads Toward the $90's

Oil finally broke out, which was somewhat of an inevitability as the price was consolidating for almost a week. We saw a triangle corrective pattern in the mid/low $80's, with prices stubbornly refusing to move as the rest of the markets have made great strides. Finally, we were able to break out and our analysis was on-point. Sure enough, $88.74 acted as a barrier to $90.06 with resistance kicking in, confirmed by a red triangle on the KRI. Weakness in the US dollar surely had something to do with this. The Kovach OBV has soared suggesting there is genuine momentum behind this move. If so, we can expect to test $90.06 soon. If not, then we should see support at $85.55.
