Oil Futures: Not sure how to label the longer term view yet; but interesting things going on here technically. 1) For the first time since 7/22/14 do we have a break of the downtrend resistance line (dotted red); and the 72-day moving average breaking above said line: 2) Wave A almost exactly equal to the last Wave down labeled C, which targeted a low of 26.17 (actual low was 26.05); 3) equivalence in time on wave A & C, being 77 days and 85 days, respectively; and 4) divergence into the low as seen in the RSI (lower pane of the chart)...heading into first major resistance at Wave A low 38.18...and swing high at 37.79...a rest here then rally toward 50$
