WTI Crude Daily 19Mar



Wednesday's Auction

As noted in Wed's analysis, focus on response to Wed's Buy Spike was key in  Thu's auction as selling interest drove price toward the Buy Spike Low, 48.80s. Buying interest entered as the Buy Spike Low held as support. Focus on response to the developing D shape structure, 44.80s-46s, as potential for directional activity grows into Fri's auction.
