Crude oil has entered the 10th consecutive sessions trading flat after peeking to $64.87 2018 new highs.

As a result, WTI bears were capped yesterday at $63.69 low and 64.32 low for today, still being supported by OPEC and Non -OPEC cut deal.

Comment: The market is bullish, poised for a breakout punch over the previous 6483 high, launching a drive into the 6600-6700 range. Yesterday's probe over 64.83+ suggests a preliminary breakout and favors rallies today. Any corrective setbacks should hold yesterday's range to maintain the upturn from corrections. A roll off through 6388 cautions for a negative turn. Closes under 62.70* and 61.50* signals a topping turnover.
