For Friday, 91.08 can contain session weakness (assuming an open above), above which the market remains buoyant into next week, 95.73 expected within several days. Upside Friday, 92.68 should contain initial strength, beyond which 94.04 is attainable intraday, able to contain session strength. A settlement above 94.04 signals 95.73 within 1-2 days, able to contain strength through the balance of next week, and the level to settle above for indicating upward continuation into the 97.96-98.78 region within 3-5 more days, where November Crude Oil can top out into contract expiration (October 22). Downside Friday, breaking/opening below 91.08 signals 89.89, likely contain initial selling, below which a retest of the 88.79 speed-line is expected intraday, able to contain selling into November activity. Holding above 88.79 should yield 98.78 over the next several weeks, while closing below 88.79 indicates a good October high, 83.24 then expected by the end of next week, 79.01 within several weeks, long-term support at 77.40 within 3-5 weeks, able to contain selling through the balance of the year (Re: broader complex).
