CRUDE OIL (@CL) – Daily

Curr: Long Looking to: Sell @ 63.50

As of 3/21/21 @ 8:46pm EST: $60.85

LAST WEEK: We suggested shorting from $66.28 up to $67.98 with stops on a close above $68 and with a target for covering and getting long at $59.65.

UPDATE: Crude oil bottomed in the very short-term and should bounce to around $63.50 before heading lower once again.

We would hold longs until $63.50 and would then sell those longs and get short. Stops should be honored on a close above $64 and the downside target for covering shorts and getting long will be $53.83.
