Light Crude Oil 45 minutes chart below shows that the commodity has ended wave (2) pullback at 37.09 low. From there, the commodity extended higher, with the rally unfolding as a diagonal Elliott Wave structure.

The pullback in wave ((iv)) then ended at 38.85 low.

The commodity then continued to resume higher in wave ((v)), which is unfolding as an ending diagonal Elliott Wave Structure. Up from wave ((iv)) low, wave (i) ended at 40.58 high and wave (ii) dip ended at 39.05 low. Wave (iii) then ended at 41.08 high. Wave (iv) pullback ended at 39.90 low.

Afterwards, a bigger 3 waves pullback in wave 2 should follow before oil resumes higher. As long as pullback stays above 37.09 low, expect wave 2 dips to find support in 3, 7, or 11 swings.
