Looking at the daily chart below,the drone attack on the Saudi refinery sent the price of crude soaring to the upside on September 16. That took the price back above the highest level going back to May (at $61 area). However, the next day the price was back below that high and the selling was on. Since then the March has been steadily lower. Today’s test of the $50.52 area, could solicit more buying against the support level.
